At this time, the Ramouseh artillery base in the southwestern suburbs of Aleppo has returned under the control of the Syrian Armed Forces. The offensive conducted by the Tiger Forces, involves the isolation of the militia of Jabhat Fateh Al Sham, bringing the eastern districts of Aleppo under siege by government forces.
The news does during with the withdrawal of ISIS militants from the Syrian Turkish border. Ankara's army, at the 12 day of theOperation on the Euphrates Shield, would have pushed the terrorists of the Caliphate to the south, freeing the whole front between A'zaz and Cerablus, for a span of approximately 130 km.
The two updates are part of the same scenario: all rebel Islamist groups, even those in conflict with each other and including the same militias armed by Turkey, are marking time on all fronts, leaving plenty of ground for the regular Syrian and Turkish armed forces.
In view of the failure of the talks between Obama and Putin regarding the war in Syria, on the sidelines of the G20 in Beijing, it is easy to sense an acceleration of operations in Damascus and Ankara, in contrast on paper (the Turkish encroachment was officially disputed by the Syria) but in reality with the same objectives on the north-east front: to prevent the creation of an independent Rojava State and to neutralize the Islamic State, now uncomfortable for all.
