Jaysh Al-Fateh attacks key southern Aleppo hill

---

Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) launched a new attack in the southern countryside of Aleppo on Friday night, targeting the strategic hilltop of Tal Umm Al-Qara near the Ramouseh Road.

Led by Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham (formerly Al-Nusra Front), Jaysh Al-Fateh reportedly began the assault by raining artillery shells and rockets at the hilltop's western perimeter; this caused little damage to the Syrian Arab Army's (SAA) defenses.

Following the rocket bombardment, the jihadist rebels of Jaysh Al-Fateh attempted to fracture the Syrian Arab Army's first-line of defense at Tal Umm Al-Qara; however, this would ultimately fail

According to a military source in southern Aleppo, the Syrian Armed Forces have secured Tal Umm Al-Qara and its surrounding sites after the jihadist rebels launched a surprise attack.
