Meanwhile, Syrian General Revolution Commission (SRGC) added Free Syrian Army forces attacked Kuveyris military base in Aleppo and fierce clashes continue taking place between the opposition and regime forces in many parts of the city.
SRGC stressed that fierce clashes also continue in Qusayr between opposition forces and the Hezbollah members in Qusayr and underlined the humanitarian plight in the district due to heavy use of artillery.
