As life slowly begins to return to normal in Sheikh Maqsoud, which was cleared of the terrorist organization YPG/SDG by the Syrian army, the Hasan Mosque, which the organization used as a military headquarters, has been photographed for the first time. After being cleared of the terrorist organization, the place of worship, which had been turned into a military point where snipers directly targeted the city of Aleppo and civilians, was captured on camera.
Life in Sheikh Maqsoud, the last neighborhood in Aleppo, Syria, that has been cleared of the terrorist organization YPG/SDG, has slowly started to return to normal.
MAJORITY OF SHOPS ARE CLOSED
After security was established in the neighborhood, it was observed that some families returned to their homes. However, it was determined that daily life in the neighborhood has not yet fully revived, with the majority of shops still closed and the traces of conflicts still clearly visible.
COMMERCIAL LIFE HAS COME TO A STANDSTILL
The images highlighted damaged buildings and compromised infrastructure in some streets and avenues. Following the security issues experienced, commercial life in the neighborhood has come to a standstill, with many businesses still not opening their shutters. With the increase in security measures, life in the neighborhood is expected to gradually return to normal.
HASAN MOSQUE CAPTURED FOR THE FIRST TIME
On the other hand, the Hasan Mosque, which was used as a military headquarters by the terrorist organization YPG/SDG in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo, was also captured for the first time. The Hasan Mosque in Sheikh Maqsoud was used as a military point by YPG/SDG, from where snipers directly targeted the city of Aleppo and civilians.
The place of worship, which became a threat to the local population due to terrorism, was captured after the region was gradually cleared by point operations conducted by the Syrian army.
INTENSE CLASHES OCCURRED
Elements of the terrorist organization YPG/SDG were last trapped in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo. In the densely populated neighborhood, the organization used civilians as shields to resist the Syrian army. In the neighborhood where intense clashes occurred, YPG/SDG elements later had to leave the area and accept evacuation. The Syrian army created safe corridors and time frames for civilians to temporarily leave the neighborhood until the operation was completed.
