Syrian army to enter last terrorist enclave in Aleppo

Syrian government forces have announced they are going to enter the last enclave of the foreign-sponsored Takfiri terrorists in the northern city of Aleppo, calling on anyone there to expedite their evacuation.

The military media unit of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement reported on Tuesday that Syrian forces would go into the area later in the day. The media unit said the Syrian military had been using loudspeakers to notify individuals in the district of the plan to enter the area.

Aleppo , whose eastern parts had for long been held by Takfiri terrorists, has almost entirely been liberated in recent military operations by Damascus and ally Russia.

Over the past several days, and under an evacuation deal, all those remaining in the shrinking terrorist-held territory have been being evacuated by the Syrian government to territory in the Idlib Governorate or elsewhere.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced on his official Twitter account on Monday that a total of 20,000 people had been evacuated from eastern Aleppo.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said some 25,000 people have left eastern Aleppo so far.

Syria’s state-run television reported that gunmen from armed opposition groups are ready to leave eastern Aleppo and move to the city’s southernmost suburbs.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 17 buses had departed the militant-held district of al-Rashideen, just beyond Aleppo’s southwestern limit and arrived in another southern Aleppo area. The buses were carrying dozens of militants and their families, it said.

Under the deal, civilians are also being taken out of the two terrorist-besieged villages of al-Foua and Kefraya in Idlib.
