Alwaght- Residents of newly-liberated districts of Syria's Aleppo city are returning home, days after government announced that the country's army had fully liberated the city from foreign-backed militant and terrorist groups..
Hundreds of families reportedly poured into the Sayf Al-Dawla neighbourhood in eastern Aleppo after the Syrian army's demining units declared the area safe for civilians.
Several areas still remain unsafe for civilians to reenter in already-militant held neighborhoods of the second largest Syrian City; this is due to the high risk of explosives that might be lingering around.
Aleppo recapture assault started two years ago, beginning by reclaiming the southern districts of the city. Operation Nasr 1 and 2, which wrested back Nubl and Al-Zahraa towns and other areas in Aleppo, built ground for liberating eastern districts of the city. The government forces imposed encirclement on the east. A watertight blockade pushed the US to broker a ceasefire with Russia, but the truce proved fragile and collapsed soon. The Syrian forces took the initiative and liberated rest of the city, concluding nearly three years of attempts to reclaim the city.
While western governments and media have tried to paint militants and terrorists as revolutionaries and moderated rebels who were fighting for their freedom, discoveries after the liberation of city exposes the reality and tells the world that whomt westerners were backing these year.
Syrian army forces working to cleanse recently-liberated part of Aleppo found mass grave in the city.
The grave contained dozens of bodies, many apparently tortured before being shot in the head and others miss some body parts.
The victims have been prisoner to the militant and terrorist groups that controlled eastern parts of the city since 2012 but were defeated out of the city in a comprehensive operation ending last week.
Separately, Syrian authorities say they have found the bodies of 21 civilians, including women and children, whom militants had executed at close range as they pulled out of Aleppo last week.
Doctor Zaher Hajo, the director of the forensics office of Aleppo, told Syria’s official news agency, SANA that the bodies had been found in prisons run by the terrorist groups in al-Sukkari and al-Kalasseh neighborhoods of the city, adding that they bore wounds of gunshots fired at very close range.
