Syrian Army progression must be stopped: French FM

“We must stop this progression before Aleppo. It is the next target of Hezbollah…,” Fabius said on Wednesday.
 
    “We need to re-balance things because over the past few weeks the troops of Bashar al-Assad (Syrian President) and especially Hezbollah … have gained considerable ground,” he said.
 
 
Fabius made the remarks after the Syrian government forces made gains in their fight with foreign-backed Takfiri insurgents in the flash point city of Aleppo.
 
On Wednesday, the Army announced that it regained full control of Kafar Hamra near Aleppo. Government forces liberated the area after heavy fighting with insurgents.
 
The Syrian Army’s latest success comes days after it recaptured the strategic city of Qusayr. Following the Qusayr liberation, the Army pledged to crush the foreign-backed insurgency across the Arab country.
 
Syrian troops were backed by forces from the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah during the Qusayr operation.
 
The Syrian Army is now in control of most of the towns and villages near the border with Lebanon.
 
On June 11, France said it is considering whether to reinforce Takfiri militants in Syria with arms.
 
France is among the Western states that support over two years of militancy in Syria, which has claimed the lives of many people, including large numbers of Syrian soldiers.
