The Aleppo offensive (July–August 2016) refers to a military operation launched on the southern outskirts of Aleppo at the end of July 2016 by rebel forces in Syria. The aim of the offensive was to establish a new supply line into Aleppo city, after a previous Army offensive had cut off all rebel access to Aleppo.

The offensive edit

Initial rebel attack edit

On 31 July, the Army of Conquest launched a counter-offensive both south and north of Aleppo in an attempt to lift the siege on the rebel-held areas of the city. Fierce fighting was reported at the Al-Castillo Highway,[1] while the rebels managed to capture the Al-Hikma school and two hills on the southern outskirts of Aleppo, which constituted an advanced Army defense line,[41] after two rebel suicide car-bombers attacked government positions in the Rashidin neighborhood.[42] The suicide bombings largely destroyed the former school.[43] The wide-scale rebel offensive reportedly included 8,000–10,000 fighters, 95 tanks, hundreds of rocket launchers and a large number of suicide-bombers.[44][45] By evening, the rebels also took control of Al-'Amariyah village and reached the nearby 1070 Al-Hamadaniyah Housing Project where fighting continued. At this point, the Russian Air Force started to conduct heavy air-strikes in an attempt to push back the rebel offensive.[46] During the night, the 1070 Al-Hamadaniyah Housing Project was also taken by the rebels.[47][48] The fighting then shifted to the Al-Assad Military Academy.[48]

The next morning, government reinforcements arrived at the Al-Assad Military Academy, after which the Army started a counter-attack and reportedly managed to cut the road between the Al-Hikma school and the 1070 Housing Project, leaving the rebels besieged at the Housing area. An assault on the 1070 Housing Project then started.[49][50] However, later in the day, the rebels once again advanced and took control of Mushrifah village (also known as Sharfa), that is situated on a hill that overlooks the Military Academy.[51][52] Later that evening, a new Army counter-attack was launched,[53] and the military managed to recapture the 1070 Housing Project neighborhood,[54][55] one hill, and a factory.[56] Elsewhere, the Army backed by intense Russian Air Force bombardment launched a large assault on the Handarat Camp. Some speculated that the potential government capture of the Handarat Camp would create a new supply route to west Aleppo's neighborhoods.[57] Meanwhile, Kurdish forces reportedly rejected an offer by some government soldiers for Kurdish fighters to leave the YPG-controlled part of Aleppo.[58]

Army counter-offensive and rebel offensive on Ramouseh and artillery school edit

On 2 August, the Army continued with its push to regain ground[44] and managed to retake several more positions in the vicinity of the 1070 Housing Project,[59] as well as Al-'Amariyah village and two more hills.[60][non-primary source needed] Still, later in the day, the rebels launched an assault on the Ramouseh district, with two rebel tunnel bombs detonating under buildings that were used as barracks by government forces.[20][61] Subsequently, rebels inside Aleppo made an advance into Ramouseh,[45][62][63] attempting to flank the Military Academy.[20] Further to the south, the rebels also took control of the village of Huwayz[64] and a hill at Al-'Amariyah.[20] At the same time, on the western edge of Aleppo, the rebels seized the Minyan Sawmills area.[61] However, this turned out to be a trap when the Army called in four precise Russian air-strikes on the complex, killing 38 rebels and forcing them to withdraw.[20][65] Meanwhile, the rebel assault on Ramouseh was slowed due to heavy Russian air-strikes, despite the rebels holding overlooking positions.[66] The attack on Ramouseh was eventually repelled with minimal rebel gains,[20] that were recaptured,[67] and the Army managed to retake Huwayz and the surrounding hills.[45][68][69][70] While the heavy fighting on the southwestern edge of Aleppo continued, government forces reportedly secured 30 percent of the Handarat Camp in the northeast of Aleppo during the day.[71] In the course of the day's fighting, rebel forces suffered heavy casualties with several commanders killed. There were also pro-government claims that rebels had used chemical weapons during their attacks.[20][65] The rebels were reportedly irritated by the lack of progress at the 1070 complex, Military Academy, Sawmill and Ramouseh and were preparing a fourth assault against government lines[65] that would include more suicide car-bombers.[72]

By 3 August, the Army counter-attack had recaptured 5 out of 8 positions that were lost since the start of the rebel offensive,[73] including the two villages and two hilltops. The rebels were still in control of one village and four hilltops.[74] By this point, rebel commanders reportedly decided to abandon their pre-planned six-stage offensive to review future military maneuvers in the region, with plans being made for the next attack wave.[72]

On 4 August, the fourth rebel assault was launched, targeting Ramouseh and Al-'Amariyah.[75] The rebels once again seized Al-'Amariyah and its nearby hill,[76] or at least a part of it.[77][78] Meanwhile, the Army was still trying to fully recapture the 1070 Housing Project and retake the Al-Hikma school with the support of Russian air-strikes.[79]

On 5 August, the Army recaptured all of the points they lost the previous day, including Al-'Amariyah.[80][81][82][non-primary source needed][83][84] Later, a rebel attack on the Military Academy started, with two suicide car-bombers attacking government positions.[85][86] The suicide bombings, combined with heavy artillery fire, caused confusion among government forces, creating an opportunity for the rebels to enter the base[87] and capture a part of it.[88] However, heavy air-strikes managed to provide the Army enough time to regroup, push the rebels out of the base[39][87] and repel the attack.[85] Still, a breach on the southern end of the Military Academy still existed.[87] Meanwhile, government troops managed to take the Steel Factory after clashes with rebels at the Handarat Camp.[83][89]

Rebel assault on artillery base, breaking the siege edit

On 6 August, after a new attack,[90][non-primary source needed] the rebels took control of the Armament school and most of the Artillery school,[40] and thus more than half of the Military Academy.[91][92] The Artillery school had been used as an artillery base.[93] Fighting continued at the Air Technical school,[94] with the rebels eventually being repelled.[95] Shortly after their advances at the Military Academy, rebels both inside and outside Aleppo advanced into the Ramouseh neighborhood, linked up and captured it. With this advance, the rebels managed to cut the government's supply line into the government-held part of west Aleppo[11][12][96] and announced the Army's siege of rebel-held east Aleppo had been broken.[97] However, the new rebel supply line was still under Army artillery fire and being hit by air-strikes,[11][12] making both sides essentially under siege.[11] Since the rebel offensive started, at least 130 civilians had been killed, most by rebel shelling of government-held districts. 500 fighters on both sides also died, mostly rebels.[40] At the end of the day, the rebels were in control of the entire Military Academy base, after taking the Air Technical school, and the Ramouseh district, while the Army still held the Cement Factory and parts of the military housing.[10] The rebels captured a number of armored vehicles and an undisclosed amount of ammunition during the capture of the military academy, as shown on footage on the next day.[22][dead link] Fatah Halab issued a statement in which it promised amnesty for those who remained at home, in a mosque or church, or who put down their weapons.[98]

Aftermath – New siege edit

The siege of eastern Aleppo resumed when government forces re-took the Military Academy on 4 September.[99]

40 The Aleppo offensive July August 2016 refers to a military operation launched on the southern outskirts of Aleppo at the end of July 2016 by rebel forces in Syria The aim of the offensive was to establish a new supply line into Aleppo city after a previous Army offensive had cut off all rebel access to Aleppo Contents 1 The offensive 1 1 Initial rebel attack 1 2 Army counter offensive and rebel offensive on Ramouseh and artillery school 1 3 Rebel assault on artillery base breaking the siege 2 Aftermath New siege 3 See also 4 ReferencesThe offensive editInitial rebel attack edit On 31 July the Army of Conquest launched a counter offensive both south and north of Aleppo in an attempt to lift the siege on the rebel held areas of the city Fierce fighting was reported at the Al Castillo Highway 1 while the rebels managed to capture the Al Hikma school and two hills on the southern outskirts of Aleppo which constituted an advanced Army defense line 41 after two rebel suicide car bombers attacked government positions in the Rashidin neighborhood 42 The suicide bombings largely destroyed the former school 43 The wide scale rebel offensive reportedly included 8 000 10 000 fighters 95 tanks hundreds of rocket launchers and a large number of suicide bombers 44 45 By evening the rebels also took control of Al Amariyah village and reached the nearby 1070 Al Hamadaniyah Housing Project where fighting continued At this point the Russian Air Force started to conduct heavy air strikes in an attempt to push back the rebel offensive 46 During the night the 1070 Al Hamadaniyah Housing Project was also taken by the rebels 47 48 The fighting then shifted to the Al Assad Military Academy 48 The next morning government reinforcements arrived at the Al Assad Military Academy after which the Army started a counter attack and reportedly managed to cut the road between the Al Hikma school and the 1070 Housing Project leaving the rebels besieged at the Housing area An assault on the 1070 Housing Project then started 49 50 However later in the day the rebels once again advanced and took control of Mushrifah village also known as Sharfa that is situated on a hill that overlooks the Military Academy 51 52 Later that evening a new Army counter attack was launched 53 and the military managed to recapture the 1070 Housing Project neighborhood 54 55 one hill and a factory 56 Elsewhere the Army backed by intense Russian Air Force bombardment launched a large assault on the Handarat Camp Some speculated that the potential government capture of the Handarat Camp would create a new supply route to west Aleppo s neighborhoods 57 Meanwhile Kurdish forces reportedly rejected an offer by some government soldiers for Kurdish fighters to leave the YPG controlled part of Aleppo 58 Army counter offensive and rebel offensive on Ramouseh and artillery school edit On 2 August the Army continued with its push to regain ground 44 and managed to retake several more positions in the vicinity of the 1070 Housing Project 59 as well as Al Amariyah village and two more hills 60 non primary source needed Still later in the day the rebels launched an assault on the Ramouseh district with two rebel tunnel bombs detonating under buildings that were used as barracks by government forces 20 61 Subsequently rebels inside Aleppo made an advance into Ramouseh 45 62 63 attempting to flank the Military Academy 20 Further to the south the rebels also took control of the village of Huwayz 64 and a hill at Al Amariyah 20 At the same time on the western edge of Aleppo the rebels seized the Minyan Sawmills area 61 However this turned out to be a trap when the Army called in four precise Russian air strikes on the complex killing 38 rebels and forcing them to withdraw 20 65 Meanwhile the rebel assault on Ramouseh was slowed due to heavy Russian air strikes despite the rebels holding overlooking positions 66 The attack on Ramouseh was eventually repelled with minimal rebel gains 20 that were recaptured 67 and the Army managed to retake Huwayz and the surrounding hills 45 68 69 70 While the heavy fighting on the southwestern edge of Aleppo continued government forces reportedly secured 30 percent of the Handarat Camp in the northeast of Aleppo during the day 71 In the course of the day s fighting rebel forces suffered heavy casualties with several commanders killed There were also pro government claims that rebels had used chemical weapons during their attacks 20 65 The rebels were reportedly irritated by the lack of progress at the 1070 complex Military Academy Sawmill and Ramouseh and were preparing a fourth assault against government lines 65 that would include more suicide car bombers 72 By 3 August the Army counter attack had recaptured 5 out of 8 positions that were lost since the start of the rebel offensive 73 including the two villages and two hilltops The rebels were still in control of one village and four hilltops 74 By this point rebel commanders reportedly decided to abandon their pre planned six stage offensive to review future military maneuvers in the region with plans being made for the next attack wave 72 On 4 August the fourth rebel assault was launched targeting Ramouseh and Al Amariyah 75 The rebels once again seized Al Amariyah and its nearby hill 76 or at least a part of it 77 78 Meanwhile the Army was still trying to fully recapture the 1070 Housing Project and retake the Al Hikma school with the support of Russian air strikes 79 On 5 August the Army recaptured all of the points they lost the previous day including Al Amariyah 80 81 82 non primary source needed 83 84 Later a rebel attack on the Military Academy started with two suicide car bombers attacking government positions 85 86 The suicide bombings combined with heavy artillery fire caused confusion among government forces creating an opportunity for the rebels to enter the base 87 and capture a part of it 88 However heavy air strikes managed to provide the Army enough time to regroup push the rebels out of the base 39 87 and repel the attack 85 Still a breach on the southern end of the Military Academy still existed 87 Meanwhile government troops managed to take the Steel Factory after clashes with rebels at the Handarat Camp 83 89 Rebel assault on artillery base breaking the siege edit On 6 August after a new attack 90 non primary source needed the rebels took control of the Armament school and most of the Artillery school 40 and thus more than half of the Military Academy 91 92 The Artillery school had been used as an artillery base 93 Fighting continued at the Air Technical school 94 with the rebels eventually being repelled 95 Shortly after their advances at the Military Academy rebels both inside and outside Aleppo advanced into the Ramouseh neighborhood linked up and captured it With this advance the rebels managed to cut the government s supply line into the government held part of west Aleppo 11 12 96 and announced the Army s siege of rebel held east Aleppo had been broken 97 However the new rebel supply line was still under Army artillery fire and being hit by air strikes 11 12 making both sides essentially under siege 11 Since the rebel offensive started at least 130 civilians had been killed most by rebel shelling of government held districts 500 fighters on both sides also died mostly rebels 40 At the end of the day the rebels were in control of the entire Military Academy base after taking the Air Technical school and the Ramouseh district while the Army still held the Cement Factory and parts of the military housing 10 The rebels captured a number of armored vehicles and an undisclosed amount of ammunition during the capture of the military academy as shown on footage on the next day 22 dead link Fatah Halab issued a statement in which it promised amnesty for those who remained at home in a mosque or church or who put down their weapons 98
