Jaish al-Fatah, a militant operation room that includes such groups as the Al Nura Front, announced the start of operation to take control of the government-held Ramouseh area and lift the siege from eastern Aleppo.
On August 5, the joint jihadi forces launched a full-scale offensive in southern Aleppo and seized about 90% of the Aleppo Artillery Base. The Syrian army is still in control of its northern part.
