Breaking: Al Qaeda Rebels Surrender to Syrian Army in Southern Syria
Mass graves of torture victims have
been uncovered in the Syrian city of Aleppo, the Russian Defense
Ministry announced on December 26.
“Mass burial sites of many dozens [of
Syrians], who had been subjected to brutal torture and [then] murdered,
have been found,” Maj. Gen. Konashenkov said. The Russian general said
that the cases are being thoroughly recorded as heavy war crimes to be
put to maximum publicity “so that European backers of the so-called
opposition in London and Paris are well aware of who their wards
actually are.”
Konashenkov added that militants of the
“moderate opposition” mined in eastern Aleppo nearly everything:
streets, entrances to premises, and cars.
Russian engineers are working to demine the city.
Earlier reports appeared that government
forces seized large stocks of ammunition and weapons in the liberated
parts of Aleppo: missiles, mortar shells, assault rifles, various kind
of munitions and humanitarian aid.
Tensions among various militant factions
on more time erupted in the province of Idlib where Jabhat Fatah
al-Sham raided houses and arrested a number of Liwa Suqur al-Jabal
militants that had returned to Idlib after participation in the
Turkey-led Operation Euphrates Shield in northern Aleppo. The event took
place in Kansafra and followed sporadic reports that Liwa Suqur
al-Jabal had been redeploying fighters to Idlib to oppose the expected
government offensive in the area.
Kurdish YPG forces have been continuing
to develop the momentum against ISIS in the province of Raqqah. The YPG
is working to secure the area north of the Tabqa Dam, controlled by
ISIS. When it’s done, Kurdish forces will likely attempt to retake this
strategic site from the terrorist group. Especially heavy clashes are
now ongoing in the area of Jabar.
A high number of militants has laid down
arms and joined the reconciliation process with the Syrian government
in the province of Daraa. The event took place in the government-held
town of al-Sanamyen north of the provincial capital. The total numbers
of Free Syrian Army members that had laid their arms and took the
amnesty were estimated from 150 to 250. Local sources argue that this
was a prelude to a wider reconciliation agreement in the province that
will allow government forces to set control over all parts over the city
of Daraa.
