Aleppo, Jan.10 (SANA) The Syrian Arab Army has completed combing more than 90% of Aleppo’s Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood.
A military source told SANA that significant difficulties are accompanying the sweeping operations due to the SDF organization using civilians as human shields and positioning themselves inside residents’ homes.
The source noted that army forces have dismantled dozens of mines in the neighborhood’s streets and are arranging for the Internal Security Forces to enter as soon as the sweeping operations are completed.
It added that army forces have arrested a number of SDF organization members and seized heavy and medium weapons, large quantities of ammunition, light weapons, and explosive devices prepared for detonation.
