Despite such resistance, the soldiers of the Syrian Arab Army successfully carried out sweeping of the streets in the area of Jamiat Al-Zahraa, eliminating any terrorists along the way.
Jamiat al-Zahraa neighborhood is located in the southwest of Aleppo and is considered to be the main entrance to further entry deeper into the city. This explains the fact that the terrorists have strengthened their position in this part of the town.
The field commander in the Syrian Army told Sputnik that the militants of al-Nusra Front are using cars filled with bombs not only to stop the offensive, but also to break the ring created by the army.
“We are creating yet another blockade in the south of Aleppo, in order to prevent the possibility of sending reinforcements to the militants from Idlib, where they receive their ammunition from,” the source said.
According to him, the army is prepared for any suicide attackers in armed cars.
On August 17, the Syrian forces together with their allied forces attacked a military school in the south of Aleppo where rebels had concentrated their forces.
Aleppo has been mired in intense fighting during the past few weeks, with the Syrian army and local militia forces having managed to encircle large groups of militants in eastern districts of Aleppo.
