Khan Tuman is a village in northern Syria, administratively part of the
Mount Simeon District of
Aleppo Governorate, located southwest of
Aleppo. Nearby localities include
Urum al-Kubrah,
Urum al-Sughrah, al-Shaykh Ali and al-Zurbah.
On
9 April, the rebels took control of the village of Khalidiyah, near Khan Tuman, as well as two hilltops and large parts of Zaytan, Birnah and al-Qal’ajiyyeh.
Meanwhile, government forces intensified their shelling of Tel el-Ais and nearby
Zorba, with over
100 mortars and rockets being fired at rebel positions, while
Russian air-strikes continued.
The next day, the military recaptured Khalidiyah and the rebels withdrew from Zaytan, Birnah and other positions they had taken during the previous 24 hours. During the rebel assault on Khalidiyah and Khan Tuman, four members of the newly arrived
Iranian 65th Airborne Special Forces Brigade were killed.
On 12 April, a new government assault on Tel el-Ais started. Before the attack,
300 rockets were launched at rebel positions in the area.
Fighting also took place near Khan Tuman. The
Army managed to advance and capture several hills in the area, as well as most of the village itself. However, this latest attack on Tel el-Ais was also eventually repelled, when government forces withdrew from the village after not being able to take
Jabal Al-‘
Eiss hill. The hills that they had also seized earlier in the day were once again under rebel control.
Later in the day, a second attack against Tel el-Ais was launched.
