Syrian army and allies move on with their military operation against the strongholds of armed groups in east of Aleppo city, and managed on Sunday to seize full control over Masaken Hanano.
Masaken Hanano is the most important stronghold of the armed groups in the area and they used to take it as military barracks, making civilians a human shield and a cover to mask their most awful actions in the neighborhood.
Loosing Masaken Hanano, put the militants in a real crisis regarding the geographic location of the area, in addition to that it overlooks Haidariya neighborhood and tightens grip around the armed groups from the side of Al-Badro Mountain.
Moreover, in case the Syrian military and allied forces managed to continue advancing towards Al-Sakhoor neighborhood, this will divide the militants’ strongholds in east Aleppo into two parts (northern and southern) which will escalate the pressure over the armed groups there. That’s why the armed factions called for urgent crawl.
Militants’ call for help has been translated by “Noueddine Zinki Movement” by withdrawing its gunmen from the northern axes of eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo in an attempt to halt the advance of Syrian army and allies at Hanano-Badro axis, amid clear confusion among militants after they failed to fight off the advancing forces.
Worthy to note that the Syrian military and allies are taking into account the presence of civilians in the densely populated areas and taking the situational military measures in order to protect their lives.
