Later a military source told SANA that army units, in cooperation with allied forces, thwarted a large attack launched by the terrorists of al-Nusra Front and other terrorist groups affiliated to it on several axes towards the south and southwest of Aleppo.

The source pointed out that the attack synchronized with ISIL attack in the direction of the Air Force Academy, adding that army units confronted the attack, killed tens of terrorists, injured many others and destroyed booby-trapped vehicles, two tanks and a large number of armored vehicles, some equipped with machineguns.

Many terrorists were killed as the Syrian Air Force hit their gatherings and hideouts in al-Mansoura and Abu Shailam villages in the western countryside of Aleppo.

Army air strikes also hit terrorists’ positions in Khan Touman and Tallet Bazo (hill) in southwestern Aleppo, destroying a number of armored vehicles and cars equipped with machine guns and a number of cannons, in addition to leaving many terrorists dead or wounded.
