Moments ago, the Syrian Arab Army’s 154th Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division – in close coordination with Hezbollah, the National Defense Forces (NDF), and several Iraqi paramilitary units – launched a new assault on the strategic villages of Bayyanoun and Kafr Naya after a successful weekend that left the Islamist rebels abandoning several sites in the northern countryside of the Aleppo Governorate.
According to a source inside the provincial capital of the Aleppo Governorate, the Syrian Armed Forces and their allies launched these attacks on Kafr Naya and Bayyanoun after Russian fighter jets pounded the Islamist rebel defenses inside the aforementioned villages this morning.
Over the weekend, the Syrian Armed Forces and their allies attempted to seize the villages of Kafr Naya and Bayyanoun from the Islamist rebels of Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group), the Free Syrian Army (FSA), Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki, Jabhat Al-Shamiyah, Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, and Jaysh Al-Mujahiddeen; however, they were unsuccessful in this military endeavor.
