Aleppo: Al Nusra Front Calls for Backup Militants as Army Advances towards Tal Rafat

 

The Strategic city of Tal Rafat is located only 17 kilometers from the Turkish borders and the Syrian army is preparing to win back Tal Rafat by attacking the adjacent Kafr Naya town.

The residents of Tal Rafat are also waiting for the army to take control of the town.

The Al-Nusra Front, however, is preparing for confrontation with the Syrian army and popular forces.

The Syrian government forces are now in Tafin town in the Southwestern part of Kafr Naya. The Syrian army and popular forces are winning back the key towns in Aleppo province one after another after breaking the siege of Nubl and al-Zahra towns.  

On Tuesday, the Syrian security sources heralded further imminent victories of the Syrian army in Aleppo province in the coming days.

The Syrian army broke the terrorists' four-year-long siege of Nubl and al-Zahra in Aleppo province last Wednesday.

"We will soon hear good news about the rapid advances of the Syrian forces towards the Turkish borders in Aleppo province," Head of Lattakia Airport Security Team Feras Shaboul told FNA.

He reiterated that seizing back any region in Syria will immensely influence advances in other areas, "but breaking the siege of Nubl and al-Zahra played a vital role as the two towns are in the way of the troops and arms carogoes that were sent from Turkey to Aleppo".

"Nubl and Al-Zahra are located between the Turkish borders and Aleppo city, they are only 22 kilometers from Aleppo and 21 kilometers from the Turkish borders," Shaboul added.

The siege of the strategic Nubl and al-Zahra towns was removed after four years in an army offensive from the Eastern side of the two towns.
