Damascus, SANA- General Command of the Army and Armed Forces confirmed that our armed forces worked to implement a redeployment operation with the aim of strengthening the defense lines and confronting the terrorist attack launched by armed terrorist organizations on the Aleppo and Idlib fronts.
A statement issued by the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces on Saturday said: “Over the past few days, armed terrorist organizations under the so-called“Al-Nusra Front,”supported by thousands of foreign terrorists, heavy weapons and large numbers of drones, launched a broad attack from multiple axes on the Aleppo and Idlib fronts,”
The statement added that our armed forces fought fierce battles against them at various points of engagement and during the battles, dozens of our armed forces were martyred and others were wounded.
The large numbers of terrorists and the multiplicity of battlefronts prompted our armed forces to carry out a redeployment operation aimed at strengthening the defense lines in order to end the attack, preserve the lives of civilians and soldiers, and prepare for a counterattack, and with the continued flow of terrorists across northern borders and the intensification of military and technical support for them, the terrorist organizations were able, during the past hours, to enter large parts of the neighborhoods of Aleppo city without being able to establish their positions due to the continued directing of our armed forces to direct concentrated and strong strikes.
The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces confirms that it will continue its operations and carry out its national duty in confronting terrorist organizations to expel them and restore the state’s control over the entire city and its countryside.
