Now, the Syrian military’s main goal is to develop momentum in eastern Aleppo in order to push militants to surrender and to set a full-control over Aleppo city.

There are two main direction of government forces advance in the area:

  1. To advance further into the eastern part of Aleppo from the northern direction;
  2. To make a splitting attack in the direction of Aleppo Citadel from the area of Aleppo International Airport.

The splitting attack looks as a preferred option because a common frontal attack could end without results because of a complicated urban environment in the area.

Syrian government forces have liberated the territory of east Aleppo where 90,000 residents live by noon on November 29, the Russian Defense Ministry announced Tuesday.

The ministry added that 507 terrorists have left Aleppo and laid down arms. 484 fighters have been immediately granted amnesty.
