Syrian Army Repels Armed Rebels’ Attack on Aleppo City’s Hospital

The Syrian army repelled armed rebels’ attack on Al-Lirmun district and Al-Kendi Hospital in the Northern Syrian city of Aleppo.
“A group of armed rebels were trying to launch attacks on Aleppo city’s Al-Lirmun and Al-Kendi Hospital from their hideouts in Reef (countryside of) Aleppo, but they faced the Syrian army’s tough response and were pushed back,” FNA’s correspondent in Northern Syria reported.

“Tens of militants were killed and dozens more injured in heavy clashes with the Syrian army,” the report added.

Meantime, the Syrian army units targeted the concentration points of armed rebels in Reef Aleppo, specially Khan Assal area, killing tens of militants in a fierce battle.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against the Syrian police, border guards, statesmen, army and civilians being reported across the country.

Thousands of people have been killed since terrorist and armed groups turned protest rallies into armed clashes.

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
