A number of gunmen have left the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo via Bustan al-Qassr corridor so that they could have their legal status settled, SANA reporter said on Thursday.

Earlier to the reporter’s announcement of the gunmen’ departure, the takfiri terrorist organizations targeted with rocket shells, machineguns and sniper fire the surroundings of Bustan al-Qassr corridor in an attempt to hinder the humanitarian pause which started today in the morning.

According to the reporter, four rocket shells fired by terrorists positioned in the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo fell on the surroundings of Bustan al-Qassr corridor. The terrorists also targeted the corridor with machineguns and sniper fire to intimidate the citizens and the gunmen who are willing to leave and to prevent them from doing that.

The terrorist organizations also fired 6 more shells on the area, destroying a house without causing human casualties.

On Wednesday, the General Command of the Syrian Army and the Armed Forces announced that the decision of suspending the air strikes on gunmen in the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo came as a preparation for the humanitarian pause that starts in the morning of October 20th, 2016 (today).
