Initially, a similar deal was put in place that would allow for the evacuation of civilians; however, several Lions of Islam reneged on this agreement and forced residents to remain in the besieged areas. The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has not yet entered any of the remaining besieged neighborhoods, despite claims by Syrian opposition activists that government forces entered Kalaseh and Bustan al-Qasr. A Syrian military source told al-Masdar moments ago that they will not enter any of the jihadist controlled neighborhoods until they are permitted by the observing groups and opposition. The Syrian Armed Forces have suspended operations in eastern Aleppo indefinitely, as they shift their focus to more pressing fronts in eastern Homs and southern Aleppo. Posted by: Fred 2016-12-14 |
