Jaysh Al-Fateh seizes large suburb in west Aleppo

ALEPPO, SYRIA (4:25 P.M.) – Minutes ago, the jihadist rebels of Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) seized the large suburb of Dahiyat Al-Assad in west Aleppo after a fierce battle with the Syrian Armed Forces and Hezbollah.

According to an Al-Masdar field correspondent, Jaysh Al-Fateh entered Dahiyat Al-Assad after scoring a direct hit with their VBIED (vehicle borne improvised explosive device).

The suicide attack would springboard the jihadist rebels into the suburb, forcing the Syrian Arab Army and their allies to withdraw towards the eastern sector of the suburb in order to avoid being overrun.

Intense clashes are now ongoing to the west of the strategic Al-Assad Military Academy, a military source told Al-Masdar News.
