I wonder if there's any other source announcing it? I mean I look at totally pro-Government Twitter accounts, too, for example

The website, which tracks Russian-speaking militants in Syria, reports that Junud al Makhdi is a group comprised of jihadists that fought in Afghanistan alongside the Taliban and al Qaeda “for the last 10 years.” Additionally, its emir (leader) trained in Chechnya with Ibn Khattab, the leader of al Qaeda’s International Islamic Battalion in Chechnya before he was killed in 2002. The website also reports that it fights in Latakia alongside Turkmen jihadists, as well as the Turkistan Islamic Party.
The Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP), an ethnic Uighur faction that also fights alongside al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, has released several photos and videos in recent weeks from Latakia. In many of the photos, the jihadists are shown shelling regime positions with mortars and rockets in the Jabal al Turkman region.
In a tweet from a member of the Imam al Bukhari Jamaat (also known as Katibat al Bukhari), a predominately Uzbek group that swears allegiance to the Taliban, the fighter claims that it too is fighting in Latakia. The tweet claims that four members of the jihadist group have been killed in recent days, but no photos or videos have been released by the group. Earlier this year, however, it did produce a video from Jabal al Akrad in Latakia.
The jihadist-led Jaysh al Fateh (“Army of Conquest”) coalition and its allies launched this new assault on Syrian regime positions in Latakia on June 27. The offensive, named the “Battle of Yarmouk,” involves a mix of jihadists, like Al Nusrah and Ahrar al Sham, and fighters affiliated with the Free Syrian Army (FSA). Many of these FSA groups, like Jaysh Tahrir, the 1st Coastal Division, and Jaysh al Izzah, are supported by the United States. The latter two groups have even uploaded videos showing their use of US-made TOW anti-tank missiles. (See LWJ report, .)

as yesterday anti-Government Forces launched an attack again (schematically shown in blue in the map below), this time toward "Arab Salloum Village", and while videos/drone footage I saw demonstrated this attack to me, now Twitter accounts tried to convince me about its partial success / total failure, to the point I decided to put both blue and red question marks below:

now I scrambled also this, to see the scale directly:

... and now kinda repetition of... the Government cut the supply route I previously posted about (https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/is...no-oped-no-policis.t6913/page-389#post-403729), in its segment I marked in green dots, and I approximated "the wedge toward Aleppo" by red lines in the map below (for scale: it's about ten kilometers from east to west):

Not really sure what you are driving at Jura
I am aware that there are multiple offensives and counter offensives around Aleppo and that there is now an article showing the aftermath of a failed rebel offensive to retake the Mallah farms with pictures of wrecked rebel armour and fresh rebel corpses.
To be told that the location of many front lines is far from fixed and the situation "dynamic" would hardly constitute a surprise.
From Al Masdar News:
"After several days of heavy fighting, the Syrian army managed to establish control over a vital route in the vicinity of Aleppo, effectively cutting off the last supply line for the rebels still entrenched within the city."
Sputnik said a short while ago that the Castello road area has been taken:
