166 terroists killed in Aleppo over 48 hours: report

The pro-rebel “Syrian Observation for Human Rights” (SOHR) reported on Saturday morning that 166 jihadist rebels were killed over a 48 hour period in western Aleppo this week.

Among the 166 militant reported dead by the SOHR, only 86 fighters from Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) were believed to be Syrian nationals.

Al-Masdar News is unable to verify these numbers from western Aleppo; however, local army sources stated that the jihadist rebels did suffer a significant number of casualties during the 2nd phase of their offensive.

Jaysh Al-Fateh launched the 2nd phase of their Aleppo offensive earlier this week, targeting the western corridor of the city in order to lift the siege on the eastern neighborhoods.
