The Syrian Arab Army’s 2nd Army Corps conducted a successful operation in southern Aleppo, attacking Jabhat Al-Nusra installments at Mount Azzan. Following a series of violent skirmishes, Jabhat Al-Nusra was forced to retreat south after losing the high ground in the mountains. According to a source, approximately 18 militants were killed in the attack and 30 more were wounded.

Near the Sheikh Sa’ed Power Plant, violent firefights ensued between the NDF and members of Jabhat Al-Nusra yesterday, resulting in 6 members of Jabhat Al-Nusra being killed.

At the Handarat Palestinian Camp, the Syrian Air Force conducted a series of airstrikes, targeting Islamic Front militants to the west. Violent clashes continue in the Handarat District between members of Ahrar Al-Sham and the Syrian Arab Army.

The Syrian Arab Army obstructed another infiltration attempt by Jabhat Al-Nusra militants into the Al-Zahra District in west Aleppo. Jabhat Al-Nusra has targeted this district for over 3 months, attempting to breakthrough the SAA frontline defense near the Air Force Intelligence building.

After liberating the strategic village of Jbeileh near the Aleppo Central Prison, the Syrian Arab Army continued its attack west, at Al-Muslimiyyah. The SAA was able to secure two neighborhoods inside the village, forcing the Islamic State militants to reinforce their positions.

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
