Turkish-backed gangs capture many neighbourhoods of Aleppo

The gangs affiliated to the occupying Turkish state took control of many neighbourhoods of Aleppo.

According to ANHA, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other gangs affiliated to the occupying Turkish state took control of many neighbourhoods in Aleppo. Among the controlled areas are the following: Bustan al-Qesir, Kelasê, Ferdos, Qesîle, Aleppo Castle and its surroundings, Jamîliye, Salahedîn, Bustan Zehara, al-Feyd, Heleb al-Jadîde neighbourhoods, two parts of Raşidîn neighbourhood, Pîşesazi, Ramûsa, Hemdaniye, Mîrîdiyan, Furqn regions and part of Bab Neyreb, as well as Ezîziye and Suryan neighbourhoods.

Other captured points are as follows: Aleppo Police Headquarters, Military Academy and Science Research Centre, Aleppo Governorate Building, Artillery Faculty, Immigration and Passport Department, Seedallah al-Jabiri Square, Communications Directorate building, Education Directorate building and Aleppo University.

In the images shared on the virtual media, it is seen that the gangs captured many weapons and military points. However, the fact that the forces loyal to the Damascus government did not open fire at the gangs suggests that there is a give-and-take scenario between the parties.

It is noteworthy that the gangs' clothes and weapons bear ISIS symbols.

As of this morning, the city of Aleppo was generally silent with no fighting taking place. However, it was reported that warplanes flew over the city and bombed some parts of Aleppo al-Jadide neighbourhood.
