Aleppo Battle: Army, Resistance Fight to Quell Terrorists
Local Editor
Terrorists in Syria's second largest city were on Monday coming under intense aerial bombardment from the Syrian army and allied forces, less than two days after they fought through Syrian army's lines to break the siege of militant-held east Aleppo.
Meanwhile, both sides in Aleppo are bracing for a final battle to gain control of the city.
Sources reported that some 2,000 soldiers have joined the ranks of government troops, who have besieged militant-held areas in the northwestern Syrian city.
Relatively, a report published is Syria's al-Watan daily also noted that the army had received "the necessary military reinforcements to launch the battle to retake the areas from which it withdrew," adding that, a crucial attack on the terrorists was "imminent... and inevitable."
In the meantime, the foreign-backed militants are calling in support from other parts of the country in an attempt to bolster their ranks before the battle.
Over the last few days, fierce clashes have been underway in and around the northern Syrian city between government forces and terrorists trying to end a siege on militant-held areas. Aleppo has been divided since 2012 between government forces in the west and the militants in the east.
According to military sources, large numbers of terrorists have been killed and many others have sustained injuries in heavy fighting over the past few days. A large number of vehicles as well as equipment belonging to the militants have also been destroyed.
