Ahrar Al Sham denies 17th base control near Raqqa

The Islamic Movement of Ahrar al-Sham denied claims of making advances in 17th base in Raqqa, Northeastern Syria, according to  Zaman Alwasl source.

Social media activists have circulated news of defeating Assad’s army near Raqqa city but this news is not true, the source say.

Rebels controlled ‘60% of the base months ago but the situation now is stable; for full control rebel fighters need arms and ammunition especially the anti-crafts and anti-tanks, the source assured

An estimated 120,000 people have been killed and more than 2.5 million displaced by Syria's civil war, which erupted after a fierce government crackdown on pro-democracy protests first held in March 2011.
