Rebels took control of the strategic Al Mayasst hill overlooking the Bureij roundabout in northern Aleppo, taking 15 pro-Assad militants, among them Iranian mercenaries. They also captured a tank, light weapons and ammunition. Rebels freed 20 detainees, including seven rebel fighters, from the custody of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party in the town of Afrin north of Aleppo. The freeing of the detainees took place when a big rebel military convoy set out from the town of Mare’ to the town of Afrin, threatening with the use of force against the captors after mediations to free the detainees failed.
