Syrian Army Gains Control Over Large Part of Aleppo, ISIL Suffers Losses
Read more: Syrian Army Gains Control Over Large Part of Aleppo, ISIL Suffers Losses
Syria's government-controlled army has regained control over large parts of the country's Aleppo governorate, a Syrian Armed Forces spokesman said Monday.
JABLEH (Sputnik) — The Syrian army has continued its ground operation in the territory captured by terrorists.
"After causing massive losses to the Islamic State organization, our troops took control over large areas," Gen. Ali Mayhoub told reporters.
A large number of terrorists is moving from Syria to the Turkish border amid the Syrian government-led army's offensive.
"Success achieved by our armed forces since the beginning of the operation, concentrated strikes from the air, as well as artillery strikes on the terrorists' control and command points are undermining their spirit. Many of them are moving to the Turkish border."
Syrian General Staff Lt.-Gen. Ali Abdullah Ayyoub said Thursday that the country's Armed Forces had launched a large-scale operation to retake occupied areas from the terrorists.
The Syrian government's forces launched the offensive after Russia’s Sukhoi Su-25, Su-24M and Su-34 attack aircraft, with the support of Su-30 jets, had commenced precision airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria on September 30, following a request from Syrian President Bashar Assad.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, airstrikes have done considerable damage to ISIL command and logistics networks, as well as to infrastructure used to equip suicide bombers.

They are allies. Turkey is a member of NATO.

Turkey, Saudi warn over Russia's 'Syria mistake' | Zee News
Ankara: Turkey and Saudi Arabia on Thursday warned Russia over the consequences of its intervention in Syria, with Ankara telling Moscow its bombing campaign in support of the regime was a "big mistake".
The two majority Sunni Muslim powers both support the moderate opposition in Syria and have been infuriated by Moscow's bombing campaign to prop the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
Turkey's anger grew earlier this month when Russian aircraft operating in Syria twice violated the air space of the key NATO member.
"Russia is making a big mistake," Turkish Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioglu told reporters after talks in Ankara with Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir.
"What it does will bring no meaning or benefit, other than delaying the transition process to help Syria out of the chaos," he added.
"We will continue with our warnings."
The Turkish army meanwhile said a Russian military delegation led by air force Lieutenant General Sergei Dronov arrived in Ankara today to share flight data "to prevent a repeat of incursions."
Ankara is also particularly concerned over claims -- denied by Moscow -- that its bombing campaign has targeted anti-Assad rebels rather than the stated aim of Islamic State (IS) jihadists.
"Saudi Arabia and Turkey are in agreement on supporting the opposition in Syria. What is important is a political solution," Jubeir said.
"We are in agreement that there will certainly be no role for Bashar al-Assad," he added.
He said that in recent talks with top Russian officials, Riyadh had told Moscow that the Syria crisis should be solved according to the 2012 Geneva communique which envisages a political transition in Syria.
"We (in Ankara) discussed the intervention of foreign powers, especially the Russian intervention which is a very critical issue," Jubeir said.
Their united opposition to the Russian bombing campaign has intensified a rapprochement between Turkey and Saudi Arabia that has gained pace over the last months.
Riyadh and Ankara fell out badly over Saudi's support of the toppling by the Egyptian army of president Mohamed Morsi in 2013 who Turkey has strongly supported.

Syrian army and Russian jets target rebel towns north of Homs| Reuters
Syrian troops and their allies, backed by Russian jets, attacked rebel-held towns north of the city of Homs on Thursday, targeting a long-held and strategic enclave of opposition to President Bashar al-Assad.
The offensive that began before dawn builds on over a week of ground attacks launched with Russian air support in areas of western Syria that are crucial to Assad's survival and held by rebel groups other than Islamic State.
Syrian state television, quoting a military source, said the army had begun a military operation in the area after heavy air strikes and artillery barrages early on Thursday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based group which monitors Syria's four-year-old civil war, said at least five civilians and six insurgents had been killed in Teir Malla, about 3 miles (5 km) north of Homs city. A resident said at least 25 people were killed including, Rawad al Aksah, a commander of insurgent group Liwaa al-Tawhid.
A few miles further north, there were heavy air strikes around the town of Talbiseh and other villages in the area, the Observatory said, as well as fierce clashes on the southern edges of the town and nearby villages.
Recapturing the area north of Homs would help reassert Assad's control over the main population centers of western Syria and secure territory linking Damascus to the coastal heartland of his minority Alawite sect.
"The regime is actually getting its forces ready in all Homs's northern countryside ... What we fear is that they will follow the same strategy they had in Hama countryside. They actually attacked the fighters in all fronts at once," said local media activist Hassan Abou Nouh.
The Syrian army, supported by foreign allies including Iran, has launched several ground offensives to retake insurgent-held territory since Russian jets started air strikes against rebel targets - mainly in western Syria - two weeks ago.
The army operations include a campaign to recapture rebel-held land in Hama, Idlib and Latakia provinces in the northwest. Regional officials have also said the army, backed by Iranian reinforcements, is preparing for a ground operation around the city of Aleppo, close to the Turkish border.
The Syrian military source quoted by state television said the army and its allies had taken control of the villages of Khalidiya and Dar Kabira, between Homs and Teir Malla.
The Observatory said the army had advanced in Khalidiya, but there was still heavy fighting there.
"There are very heavy air strikes in Homs on the frontlines. There are civilian casualties. The aim is to apply military pressure, and the regime's intention is to storm the area," said the leader of one rebel group operating in the area.
He said the number killed was not confirmed but gave the names of five documented dead including a girl and two women.
A resident of Talbiseh said four civilians had been killed there and that a school was hit at around 6 a.m., before classes started. He said jets were still flying in the area.
"There's no end to the aerial observation and the bombardment," said Abdul Rahim Duhaik, a teacher in Talbiseh.
"People are busy digging shelters. No one has any intention of leaving. We will die in our land rather than be evicted."
Responding to the reports of civilian deaths, the Syrian military source said Syrian forces and Russian jets do not target areas where civilians are present. He accused al Qaeda's wing in Syria, the Nusra Front, of carrying out a massacre on Thursday so it could blame the deaths on the bombardment.
The source, quoted by state television, said the army had begun a military operation in the north Homs countryside after "concentrated air strikes and heavy preparatory artillery shelling on the terrorist groupings and their bases".

U.S.-backed Syrian rebels appeal for antiaircraft missiles - The Washington Post : UNIAN news
U.S.-backed rebels in Syria appealed to the Obama administration on Friday for anti-aircraft missiles to defend their positions against relentless Russian airstrikes that have so far mostly targeted the moderate opposition to President Bashar al-Assad's rule, according to The Washington Post.

"We need one of two things. Either a clear policy from the United States to prevent Russia and the regime from bombing Syrians, or otherwise they should send us anti-aircraft missiles so that we can confront the Russian planes," said Hassan Haj Ali, the commander of Suqour al-Jabal, U.S.-backed group targeted by Russian strikes on Thursday, the report says.
"If they don't help us, people will lose trust in our supporters, and this will increase extremism," he added.
One of the groups that have received weapons and training under the program said its positions in the Hama town of Latamneh were hit by 15 bombs on Friday, the third and heaviest consecutive day of strikes against the town. Although Russian officials have insisted that their attacks are only targeting the Islamic State, the al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra or "other" terrorist organizations, no other military group is present in the town, according to Capt. Mustafa Moarati, a spokesman for the Tajamu al-Izza rebel brigade.
A U.S military official said the request was under consideration. Repeated requests by U.S.-backed rebels to be supplied with anti-aircraft missiles to be used against Syrian aircraft have been repeatedly refused in the past.
"It's a complicated question and an even more complicated answer," said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter freely. "Any decisions that we make, there are going to be ramifications," not just for the United States but also for Washington's partners in the military coalition against the Islamic State, he said.
Now who is the terrorist and who is supporitng terror?
Assad or no Assad but this policy of changing regime through proxy war is not acceptable. Couple of years ago, proxies were secretly assisted. In Syria, countries are openly helping terrorists. This should stop!

A frame grab taken from footage released by Russia's Defence Ministry on Monday, shows what Russia says is an explosion after airstrikes carried out by the Russian air force on an ammunition depot to the west of Jubb al-zarus in Hama province, Syria. Russian air strikes killed 45 people, including a rebel commander, in an insurgent-held area of Latakia province in Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Tuesday.
Russian air strikes kill 45, including rebel commander - The Hindu
Russian air strikes in Syria killed 45 people, including a rebel commander in an insurgent-held area of Latakia province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Tuesday.
Rami Abdulrahman, director of the U.K.-based Observatory, said the air strikes on Monday evening targeted the Jabal al-Akrad area of the coastal province.
He identified the rebel commander as Chief of Staff of the First Coastal Division group, a foreign-backed insurgent faction fighting under the banner of the “Free Syrian Army.”
