Factional infighting leaves dead and injured in Aleppo countryside
ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) – The toll of deaths and injuries in infighting between the Turkish-backed opposition SNA factions in the al-Bab area in the eastern countryside of Aleppo rose on Saturday to seven dead, including two civilians, and 15 wounded, including four children.
“The clashes between the Levant Front and Ahrar al-Sham faction have killed so far seven individuals and injured 15 others. The clashes are still ongoing, which means that there will be more deaths and injuries,” a special source told North Press.
Heavy weapons and tanks are being used in the clashes, and the Levant Front faction has brought in more reinforcements to the area, the source added.
A group of Ahrar al-Sham members surrendered to the Levant Front faction in the town of Abla in the countryside of al-Bab, the source said.
Since 2017, the city of al-Bab in the eastern countryside of Aleppo has been under the control of the Turkish-backed opposition factions.
These areas, however, continue to witness a state of security chaos, accompanied by explosions and continuous fighting, amid the factions’ inability to maintain security.
