Reuters: Syrian army and allies regain southern Aleppo district: monitor
Syria's army and its allies have regained an important Aleppo district lost to rebels last month, state media and a war monitor said on Thursday, and were pressing an offensive south of the city to further squeeze the insurgents.
If sustained, the advance in Ramousah would reverse nearly all gains rebels made in a push last month, tighten a blockade over rebel-held eastern Aleppo and ease access for the army into government-held western districts through the city's south.

It looks like Turkey's shift to the border areas, not to mention the constant pressure by the Russian Aerospace forces and Suheil al Hassan's men, is paying off in Aleppo. Hopefully the SAA, NDFand allies can actually hold the gains they have made.
It seems no little coincidence, by the way, that the latest accusations of gas warfare by Government forces come at thesame time as their victories.

Are you telling that they are false?
Oh no Miguel,
Your "rebel" friends would never tell a lie.

It's funny too how you always show up here during or after a(nother) asswhoopin' taken by the "moderate" headchoppers or their Nazi doppelgängers in the Ukraine.
b. has very kindly noted that the "alleged" victims of the "alleged" gas attack were treated very professionally and with quality and state of the art care at East Aleppo's al Qud's Hospital,
You know, the same Hospital jihadi propaganda said was completely destroyed by barrel bombs in April, with most of the medical staff "slaughtered".
b. also kindly notes that Western Taxpayers are spending $60 million a year to fund this propaganda, but we arn't getting good quality product for all that money.
We should give the $60 million to al Hassan for a a couple dozen 72B3s with battlesets.
We would then get some real bang for our buck while Miguel's buddies get their virgins.
A win win if ever there was one.
