Turkish Armed Forces, rebels claim advance in east Aleppo
2017-01-31
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Turkish Armed Forces and their rebel allies claimed on Sunday that their fighters captured 2 hilltops from the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) holy warriors in the eastern countryside of al-Bab.

According to a statement released by the Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
(FSA) on Sunday, their forces and their Turkish allies captured Tal al-Kroum and Point 511 near the town of Baz’ah in eastern al-Bab.

This recent advance by the Turkish Army and rebel forces marks the first time since their al-Sulfaniyah operation that they have advanced in the al-Bab countryside.
