The Syrian Army and popular forces repelled the large-scale attacks of Jeish al-Fatah on their positions near the newly-liberated heights Southwest of Aleppo city, inflicting major casualties on them.
A large number of terrorists of al-Turkistani and Fatah al-Sham (the newly formed al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group previously known as the al-Nusra Front) stormed the army's positions near al-Syriatel and Um al-Qara'a, but their attacks were fended off by the Syrian soldiers and their popular allies.
Jeish al-Fatah left scores of dead and wounded members behind and retreated from the battlefield.
Reports said earlier today that Syrian army soldiers and popular forces continued their advances against Jeish al-Fatah terrorists near a strategic village in the Southwestern side of military academy buildings, inflicting major losses on the militants.
The Syrian government forces, who captured Um al-Qara'a earlier this morning, continued to beat back militants and move towards hills overlooking the village of al-Sharafeh.
Jeish al-Fatah suffered a major death toll in the attacks and left behind its military equipment and retreated from more positions.
The Syrian army and popular forces launched their attack from their positions in cement factory and are about to capture the hill near al-Sharafeh to reinvigorate their military strength in Southwestern districts of Aleppo, FNA reported.
