Aleppo is Syria's ground zero. The "mother of all battles" continues. Washington wants the city transformed into Syria's Benghazi. State security forces are prevailing. They foiled America's best laid plans.

On July 31, SANA state media headlined "Infiltration Attempts from Lebanon and Jordan failed, Authorities Hunt Terrorists in Aleppo, Damascus Countryside, Homs, Deir Ezzor and Idleb," saying:

Terrorists trying to enter Syria were routed. Scores were killed or injured. Heavy losses were inflicted in other areas. Security forces are prevailing in Aleppo.

On July 30, Mossad-connected DEBKAfile (DF) headlined "The bid for Syria's first safe haven in Aleppo region is thwarted," saying:

Washington's grand scheme failed. "Assad forces were again rooting out and liquidating rebel forces in Aleppo as they did in Damascus days earlier."

It's taking longer because efforts are made to protect architectural and historic sites. Minimizing civilian casualties is also prioritized.

Aleppo is Syria's largest city and commercial hub. It's also noted for its beauty. Its history goes back thousands of years. Militant held areas were retaken. Fighting continues in parts of the city and surrounding areas.

On July 30, "Saudi and Qatari intelligence officers (were) forced to admit" defeat. Security forces "smashed their plan for a safe haven in the Aleppo area."
