On September 29, the Syrian army and Liwaa Al-Quds (a Palestinian pro-government militia) liberated again the strategic Handarat refugee camp from Jaish al-Islam militants in northern Aleppo. This success allowed the Syrian government forces to secure the northeastern flank of Mallah Farms, a strategic area near the Castello Higway, heading to the militant-controlled areas of Aleppo city.
If the Syrian army and Liwaa Al-Quds are able to defend this area from militant attacks, this will become the second major success of the pro-government forces since the announcement of wide-scale military operations in Aleppo city on September 27.
