🇸🇾⚡- Our assessment last night that the Syrian Arab Army counteroffensive action in the Zerbah direction being false was correct.

Map shows the current situation along the front after last night's fog of war.

HTS have been visual confirmed in Mansoura. Pro-Assad media personnel confirm HTS presence in Tishrine (the last town before al-Assad district of Aleppo).

The Syrian Arab Army counterattacks in the north were partially true, but also over exaggerated. The SAA have recaptured Kafr Dael, but fighting is still reported at Babis and Bashnatrah. The SAA unsuccessfully attempted to enter the south of Khan al-Asl, from Muauwya.

Reports of HTS controlling Anadan are completely false. The SAA, led by a small group of Iranian special forces, still control this town.

SAA reinforcements have seemed to stabalize the frontline for now. But that situation may change, as more and more SNA-backed groups enter the battle.

🇸🇾⚡- Hayat Tahrir al-Sham have captured Zitan after fighting lasted for over 20 hours, Aleppo direction, Syria.

More importantly, the strategic town of Khan Tuman has fallen to HTS as well. This cuts a second supply route into Aleppo.

As we mentioned earlier, there was absolute no truth to Syrian Arab Army counteroffensive action in the Zerbah front. The SAA has been shelling both towns, Zitan and Khan Tuman, all morning, which confirms their loss.

🇸🇾⚡- Hayat Tahrir al-Sham have captured Khan Assubul, Idlib direction.

Pro-Assad frontline sources say after successfully holding HTS back for over several hours, they were ambushed from the south. The attack from the south was likely carried out by the Turkish-funded Turkistan Islamic Party, and from TIP's stronghold of Ruweiha.

Reports of HTS capturing Saraqib are all false. HTS affiliated media deny the rumors themselves. SAA has been carrying out localized counterattacks inside the city.
