Battle Map of Aleppo: Syrian Army Captures Tal Madafa and Halabi Farms Near Handarat

The Syrian Arab Army continued their counter-offensive near the recently captured village of Handarat in northern Aleppo, expanding their control over a number of areas adjacent to the latter.

On Thursday morning, the SAA – in cooperation with the National Defense Forces (NDF) – took complete control of Tal Madafa (Madafa Hill) after fierce clashes with the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” and their allies from Jasyh Al-Mujahiddeen and Harakat ‘Ahrar Al-Sham.

Despite asserting their control over Tal Madafa last week, Jabhat Al-Nusra and their allies were able to recapture parts of the southwestern perimeter; this changed on Thursday when the SAA and NDF pushed the enemy combatants south towards the Al-Oweija District.

In conjunction with their success at Tal Madafa, the SAA captured Mazra’a Al-Halabi (Halabi Farms) and Mazra’a Arandees (Arandees Farms) located west of Handarat village; thus, positioning the SAA just east of Al-Mallah.

North of Handarat village, the SAA and NDF contingents at Bashkoy in northern Aleppo repelled another Jabhat Al-Nusra infiltration attempt, killing at least a dozen enemy combatants during the process of the attack – Jabhat Al-Nusra forces withdrew to the village of Rityan once again.

SYRIAN ARMY SMASHES NUSRA IN HANDARAAT-ALEPPO, 150 TERRORISTS KILLED

Handaraat:  The lying British media is spreading totally false tales of a successful terrorist counterattack at the towns of Handaraat, Bashkuwy, Tal-Al-Madhaafa and Al-Mallaah Farms.  I have access now to direct sources in northern Aleppo who have visitedHandaraat and have reported what they’ve seen to Wael in Latakia.  In actuality, Wael is now in Aleppo for some task having to do with his work on the coast.

Yesterday, the tally for dead rats in Handaraat exceeded 177, almost all Nusra andAhraar Al-Shaam cannibals.  The SAA has also destroyed 8 armored vehicles licensed in Turkey and provided to the rats by the Erdoghan terrorists regime.  The Syrian Army controls 90% of Handaraat with the remaining 10% on the verge of falling to the SAA any moment.  Nusra has been annihilated here.

In an effort to save face, or to recapture the old magic, Nusra prepared a huge BMB truck loaded with 8 tons of C-4 and military-grade TNT for suicide detonation.  But, this trick is old and the SAA is accustomed to these tactics.  The driver of the truck who attempted to approach the northern entrance to the town will never be known. The SAA fired anti-tank, wire-guided rockets at the speeding truck and exploded it.  If the driver exists at all, he exists as mist.

The Nusra force is about 3,500 rats – a formidable combat unit which is also experiencing many defections from the Syrian citizens within it.  Estimates are now that the Nusra army here is 90% foreigners with hundreds being from Central Asia and the Caucasus.  That is what’s left of the Nusra organization in Handaraat. Erdoghancontinues to ferry in supplies but with the SAA now controlling traditionally open supply routes north of this area, we are hearing, more and more, of SAAF sorties and bombings of convoys coming out of Turkey.

Syrian Army is in complete control of Bashkuwy, Seefaat and Al-Mallaah Farms.  The Syrian Army also controls 80% of the Tallat Al-Madhaafa area with the rats verging on surrender or death.

Hint:  With Handaraat falling into the hands of the government, watch for the assault on‘Anadaan which will finish off the rats in Aleppo proper and liberate all of Zahraa andNibbul.
