Syrian Army kicks off huge offensive in south Aleppo; four villages liberated

Beginning at daybreak, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) stormed jihadist-held areas of the Khanassir Plains, taking control of numerous strategic points after heavy clashes with Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) and allied Islamist groups.

With hundreds of elite Syrian Marines pouring into the area on Wednesday, government forces mobilized all avaliable troops this morning and quickly overran the villages of Hajjarah Kabbera, Hajjarah Saghera, Jibb Awad along with the frontier town of Al-Rashadiyah.
