Talk:Jneid Masacre

Context
The SyrPer guy has reported about the military operation to "liberate" Al-Safira in quite some detail over the last week. Apparently there was an attempt to attack important military installations and the counter-operation was fierceful - he reports yesterday of 2300(!) dead fighters. That battle is likely what's reported below with the "23 tanks and 3000 troops" - certainly not on a killing spree against some civilians. That seems to have ended as a success some days ago and now the fight is going on at an airport Al-Nairab. And from the Al-Safira area come more reports from what went on in the "rebel"-controlled areas. From yesterday this report with victim lists of massacres from several neighborhoods, among them your "Al-Junied" with 23 dead:


 * Following the pleasing news of advancement by the Syrian Arab Army, where they gained access to the areas that were under the control of the Erdogan, US and NATO backed Terrorists of so-called "fsa", including the neighbourhoods and districts of "Al-Safira, Khnassar, Tal 'Aran and Al-Humeira" in Aleppo, came the shattering news of the discovery of further massacres committed by the Terrorists, of the so-called 'fsa", with over 100 civilians including Women, Children and elderly found butchered so far.

 * Wow, that's a helpful report. Thanks! Will incorporate soon. I was wondering about the locale-giving surrounding areas should help. Al-Nairab is next to the main airport, SE of town. I was wondering about this military air base a ways east of there. Description says "Alternative names: "Dayr Ha Fir", "Kweyres", "Al Kwairis" - airbase/military airport

Rasin el Aboud Airbase is a military fighter base, which houses the 3rd FTS (L-39ZA Albatros, MBB-233 Flamingo) The aircrafts are normally used merely for training, but during the Syrian civil war the Aero L-39 were frequently used for air-to-ground attacks." I believe fighting around there has been reported too. --Caustic Logic (talk) 23:42, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

LCC shares none. I haven't checked around myself yet. --Caustic Logic (talk) 12:39, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Location?
LCC gives Jneid and Junaid spellings, village implicitly in Aleppo. SOHR has Jneid, near Safeera. I'm looking for possible matches in Wikimapia around Al-Safira.

Judaydah, village - Janyu, village - Abu Jurayn, village - Al-Jumaymah - another Judaydah that's all I'm seeing among what's labeled in readable characters that's arguably a name fit. --Caustic Logic (talk) 11:06, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
