Terrorists preventing comrades, people from fleeing eastern Aleppo

A military source confirmed reports on Thursday that the terrorists stationed in the eastern parts of Aleppo city are blocking the path of the people and other militants who want to leave the region.

"The terrorists have launched 20 mortar attacks on Bostan al-Qasr corridor while the ceasefire has not been violated in the Castello road and the government buses and ambulances are transferring people to the safer areas," the source said.

"The terrorists also targeted al-Jandoul square which has been one of the safe corridors opened by the Syrian army for the militants to leave the region," the source said, adding that the terrorists have also attacked a Syrian army position in eastern Aleppo. 

Some reports also said that the militants have deployed snipers in certain areas to prevent the evacuation of their comrades and civilians and have announced that they would set fire on houses of those people who want to leave Aleppo.

This is while the Syrian army is inviting the terrorists to lay down their arms and leave Aleppo's eastern regions.

The Syrian State news agency also reported that several militants had laid down their arms and a number of wounded people and patients were transferred from eastern Aleppo through the declared corridors.

The Syrian Army General Command announced on Thursday the suspension of the air strikes on militants in the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo.
