The “Islamic State” organization still in control over most of al-Bab city and Tedef town and repels 2 violent attacks on Bzaah and Qabasin

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned that violent clashes are still taking place between members of the “Islamic State” organization against the rebel and Islamic Factions of the “Euphrates Shield” operation and Turkish forces, at the northern and western outskirts of al-Bab city in the northeastern countryside of Aleppo, which is the largest strongholds of the “Islamic State” organization in the countryside of Aleppo, in conjunction with clashes between both parties in the countryside of the city, where the “Islamic State” organization is still controlling almost entirely al-Bab city, while “Euphrates Shield” took control of the western suburbs of the city and advanced to the northern outskirts of the city.

Meanwhile, the “Islamic State” organization was able to regain control of the entire town Bzaah east of al-Bab city, after the rebel and Islamic factions of the “Euphrates Shield” supported by Turkish forces were able to advance in the town, the clashes in the past hours were accompanied by explosions that shacked the town and its surroundings, they were caused by intense shelling by the Turkish forces on the town, which witnessed over the past weeks straight defeats for the Turkish forces and the “Euphrates Shield” after their repeated attempts to control Bzaah, where the organization was able to expel the fighters of “Euphrates Shield” and get them out of town every time, despite the fighters’ recent entry into the town, and also the “Islamic State” organization was able to repel the violent attack of the factions and the Turkish forces on Qabasin town at the northeast of al-Bab city, after their attempts re-advance and control of the town, and by doing that the “Islamic State” organization is still in control of the towns of Qabasin, Tedef and Bzaah, in addition to controlling almost the entire of al-Bab city, and all what is publishes otherwise is far from the truth altogether.
