Contingents from the Islamic Front (Jabhat Al-Islamiyya) launched a widespread assault on the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) near the village of Al-Bureijj in northeast Aleppo, resulting in the capture of Tal Al-Maysaat on Tuesday morning.

However, the success was short-lived when the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAF) came to the aid of their comrades entrenched on the outskirts of Tal Al-Maysaat.

The SAAF pounded the Islamic Front’s positions with repeated air raids that paved the way for an SAA counter-attack; this assault led to the loyalist forces taking complete control of Tal Al-Maysaat almost 2 hours after it was declared under the Islamic Front’s possession.

An SAA source in Aleppo reported that firefights have resurfaced between the SAA and Islamic Front on the outskirts of Tal Al-Maysaat, as both sides continue their tug-of-war battle for control of this imperative area in northeast Aleppo.
