The Syrian Al-Qaeda groups “Jabhat Al-Nusra” and “Jund Al-Aqsa” offensively targeted, the strategic villages of Tal Al-Eiss and Banes, southern Aleppo, that are currently under the control of the National Defense Forces (NDF) and the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).
On Monday morning, the Al-Qaeda factions seized two hilltops from the Syrian Armed Forces after a violent battle that lasted two hours.
Among the hilltops captured by Jabhat Al-Nusra and Jund Al-Aqsa from the Syrian Armed Forces was Tal SyriaTel; this hill is strategically located near the villages of Banes and Tal Al-‘Eiss in southern Aleppo.
A video was released by an opposition media group, declaring Tal Al-‘Eiss “liberated”, but the footage was far away from the actual village itself; this was verified by the so-called “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” (SOHR).
As of now, there is no proof that this strategic village was captured and Syrian military sources assert that Tal Al-‘Eiss is under their control for the time being.
