Syrian Army Command: Armed Forces Targeted Terrorists’ Rocket Launching Pads

The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces affirmed that armed terrorist groups, in an attempt to reduce the pressure on them and turn attention away from the defeats they’re suffering in several areas in Aleppo province, committed a new massacre against the people of Aleppo on Friday.

In a statement, the General Command said that the terrorists launched a rocket from al-Kallaseh neighborhood to the heavily-populated area of al-Muhafaza, leading to the martyring and injuring of a number of innocent citizens and causing severe damage to residential buildings.

It added that the armed forces units carried out a series of operations against terrorist groups, targeting rocket launch sites, workshops for manufacturing improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and convoys of vehicles equipped with heavy machineguns, inflicting heavy losses upon the terrorists.

The General Command said that since the reality of what has happened and the criminal nature of these groups and their role in implementing the aggressive destructive plot against the Syrian people have been revealed, it pledges the Syrian people to continue pursuing terrorists and mercenaries until they are eliminated and until security and stability are restored to Syria.
