on Government defense from Aug 9, 2016
on Government defense from Aug 9, 2016 ... here: Twitter accounts of both sides said there had been fights around Tell Mu'tah today (the sides reversed since the above post, of course: now Rebels defending it)...
both Al-Hikma (top-left corner) and Musrifah (in middle-bottom) lost by the Governement, but the "Barrier" (from middle-top) holding, some units in front of it ("Tel Mu'tah" which I believe is some hill), ...
A bizarre article.
In what sense is the Assad "regime" a threat to the national security of the US that needs to be removed with the help of moderate terrorists? The possibility of free and fair elections isn't even considered, rightly of course. Who would vote for a moderate terrorist leader?
So the Russians concentrated on the " to break the pro-regime siege of Aleppo City" instead of trying to kill the terrorists that are already in the bag. What is strange about that?

On November 8, the Syrian army’s Tiger Forces and its allies continued the operation in the southwestern Aleppo and seized the full control over the 1070 Apartment Project, the Al-Rakhmih Hill and the Motah Hill. Iranian-backed militias embeded with Iranian military advisers reportedly played an important role in the operation.

At the same time, the Syrian Arab Air Force continued to deliver air strikes on Jaish al-Fatah targets in the southwestern Aleppo countryside with special attention to the group’s supply lines in the area.
Meanwhile, reports have appeared that Jaish al-Fatah is deploying 2,000 more fighters from Idlib to Aleppo. This confirms that Jaish al-Fatah’s defenses are collapsing in the southwestern Aleppo and the current militant striking force is already not enough to achieve any gains in the city.
