(AhlulBayt News Agency) - An army unit in cooperation with the supporting forces carried out a “swift” military operation against terrorists’ positions and fortifications in the strategic al-Sheikh S’eed hill at the eastern parts of Aleppo city, establishing complete control over the hill and killing or injuring many of the terrorists, a military source announced on Friday.
The source pointed out that this achievement will help the army units monitor terrorists’ movements accurately in the neighborhoods of al-Ameriyeh and al-Sukkariyeh, and consequently, the terrorists’ movement would be paralyzed and they would be forced to give up.
The remarkable advance comes hours after establishing firing control over Aleppo Hill to the southwest of al-Breij and establishing control over the Sport Institute, its housing compound and a school in Bustan al-Basha neighborhood and over the buildings and towers of the Electricity Company north of al-Sakhour roundabout on the northeastern outskirts of Aleppo city.
Syria has been gripped by deadly militancy since March 2011.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura have put the death toll from the Syria conflict at more than 300,000 and 400,000, respectively. This is while the UN has stopped its official casualty count in Syria, citing its inability to verify the figures it receives from various sources.
