Led by their Elite Republican Guard forces, the Syrian Arab Army fired a large number of missiles and artillery shells towards the jihadist rebels in the al-Zahra’a, Kafr Hamra, and al-Layramoun areas of Aleppo.
The Syrian Arab Army is still striking these three areas at the moment, with most of their missiles and shells concentrated on the positions of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
Tonight’s attack by the Syrian Arab Army comes just days after they threatened to strike the jihadist rebels in western Aleppo if they did not withdraw from the designated buffer zone.
Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham responded to the Syrian Arab Army’s threats last week by firing several missiles at the western districts of Aleppo city.
The Syrian Army is awaiting approval from their high command and Russian military advisers to launch their ground assault in western Aleppo.
