The FSA forces affiliated with Burkan al-Furat military operation room battled ISIS in the village of Zour Magar near the city of Jarablus.
FSA rebels gained control of Handarat hill and Tall al-Madafeh in the northern outskirts of Aleppo City after attacking and killing several regime forces and their supporting local and foreign militias in both areas. They also destroyed a regime tank killing all crew.
Rebels destroyed tank at Handarat front with TOW-ATGM. Assadists bbqued in their metal coffin.
Some activists report that the rebels retreated from Handarat Hill but they are still in control of Tall al-Madafa after they repelled a regime attempt to retake the hill overseeing Aleppo Central Prison.
The regime had tried for months to take the area around Handarat, cutting off opposition-held areas of Aleppo city. However, rebels have turned the tide, including the defeat of a regime offensive last month with heavy casualties suffered by Syrian troops and their allies.
The rebels also said the Free Syrian Army has bombarded pro-Assad militias and their fortifications in Bashkoy, the one village they were able to hold after the ill-fated February offensive.
The opposition claimed that it bombed the remaining structure of the Air Force Intelligence building in northwest Aleppo city. The complex was heavily damaged earlier this week by an underground bomb while killed dozens of regime troops.
Fawj al Aval launched a heavy attack against Handarat hill in Aleppo and after suffering casualties from heavy shelling of SAA, they retreated back in to their holes.
Last month, you also said the killing and capturing more than 50 assadist soldiers during the hit and run attack in Al maisat hill "achieved nothing". They didn't retreat from Handarat"after suffering casualties" lol but because they aren't stupid, and as far as they are concerned, holding positions on the empty hill isn't important and it's tactically indefensible against aerial attack. Their plan is to wear down and bleed the enemy slowly using guerrilla warfare in battle.

Former Head of Political Security Ghazaleh Leaves Hospital After Beating — Or Shooting — and Dismissal
Rustom Ghazaleh, until last month one of the Assad regime’s most powerful figures,
has left hospital after he was beaten — or shot — following his dismissal as Head of Political Security.
Ghazaleh was admitted to the intensive care unit of a Damascus hospital in late February, less than 24 hours after he was fired.
Accounts differ on the exact cause of his injuries, although all converge that Ghazaleh was punished for offending other figures in the Assad regime.
“Political sources” told Lebanon’s Daily Star that Ghazaleh was beaten on the orders of Lieutenant General Rafik Shehadeh, the head of military intelligence. He was summoned to Shehadeh’s office, attacked by the general’s bodyguards, and dumped at the entrance of the hospital.
Ghazaleh’s offense was his refusal to hand over his villa in his native village of Qarfa in Daraa Province to military personnel from Iran and Hezbollah. The Iranians and Hezbollah allies have been helping direct a counter-offensive against rebels south of Damascus.
However, other sources have given EA a different account. They say Ghazaleh may have been shot in the shoulder as punishment alongside his dismissal. The “crime” was his declaration to Syrian fighters, whom he recruited to protect his village, that Qardaha — the ancestral hometown of President Assad — can be controlled by the rebels, but that Qarfa must never be lost.
Ghazaleh was the long-time head of Syrian intelligence in Lebanon before Damascus’s forces withdrew in 2005. He was also a key liaison with Iranian officials supporting the Assad regime.
