The strategic town of al-Ays was liberated

The fighters of al-Nujaba took complete control of the town of al-Ays and its strategic hills from the first moments of today after preparing for a comprehensive attack.

According to the Communication and Media Affairs Centre of al-‎Nujaba in Iran, the city of al-Ays, located in the southern countryside of Aleppo, was liberated this morning, April 12, 2016, from the filth of the Takfiri terrorists.

The fighters of al-Nujaba took complete control of the town of al-Ays and its strategic ‎hills from the first moments of today after preparing for a comprehensive attack.‎

al-Ays was under the control of the Islamic Resistance forces until March 31, when the terrorists of the al-Nusrah Front invaded and occupied this strategic town.

Earlier, the fighters of al-Nujaba had liberated al-Ays and this is the second time that the town of al-Ays has been cleared by them and completely liberated.

al-Ays is called strategic because of its hills overlooking the surrounding areas and capturing this city means having the privilege of having a watchtower to protect the neighbouring areas.

The correspondent of Alam al-Harbi (War Announcements), the military unit of the al-Nujaba, reported on al-Ays in this regard, “The attack on al-Ays took place quite suddenly and at the height of the disbelief of the elements of the al-Nusrah Front.”

He added, “The terrorists initially intended to resist the Islamic Resistance fighters, who, seeing the attack of the warriors of al-Nujaba in all directions, retreated to the lower areas in order not to be trapped in the siege and completely evacuated al-Ays.”

According to the report, al-Nusrah Front terrorists were targeted by gunners and snipers as they fled, killing and injuring dozens.
