Den syriske hæren ser ut til å ha oppnådd noen viktige seire mot de jihadistiske militsene i Øst-Aleppo. Dette meldes 27.11.2016 av en rekke nyhetsbyråer.
The Syrian military has announced it had taken control of a second residential district of the rebel-held eastern part of Aleppo city in two days, as government air strikes continue to target opposition areas of the country leaving over a dozen people dead.
The army said it and allies had taken full control of the Jabal Badro district on Sunday, a day after capturing Hanano, a neighbouring residential district.
Analysts say there is a strong chance the army could cut off the northern part of the rebel stronghold from its southern part.
Many civilians are reportedly trying to enter government-held western Aleppo.
The Syrian army said it had helped 1,500 people to flee, while Russian news agencies said some 900 civilians – including 119 children – had left Jabal Badro alone before the troops moved in.
Signs that the dogged resistance to the Syrian Army and Russian airforce in eastern Aleppo may be crumbling have started to appear as thousands of people fled to areas under government control, either due to starvation, the continued air assault or the advance of Syrian troops.
Den syriske armeen har oppfordret sivile til å forlate Øst-Aleppo før offensiven, men flere meldiger går ut på at jihadistene i Øst-Aleppo har skutt på sivile som har prøvd å flykte fra enklaven. Det hevdes også at sivile som ønsker å flykte må betale en stor sum penger til jihadistene før de får slippe ut. Hvis dette stemmer bekrefter det at jihadistene er desperate og ikke lenger tror at de kan vinne.
Det er ikke lenger siden enn i slutten av oktober at jihadistene gjorde et voldsomt forsøk på å ta tilbake initiativet i krigen. Da det mislyktes var bordet dekket for den syriske armeens offensiv.
