The news said clashes caused casualties and injuries of both sides and that Berry clan took control of several neighborhoods in Aleppo city, news also said Fua’a militias brought reinforcement to Aleppo city and the reason behind the clashes is that because Berry clan tried to kick out Kefrayaa and Fua’a militias outside Aleppo city.

The source added that a group of Assad regime army mediated between both sides and gave the Fua’a fighter another house in the same building and the Berry clan fighter was arrested by Air Forces Intelligence.

Another source told Verify-Sy that Fua’a militias who left their town in July were given good houses in al-Marje and al-Nayrab neighborhoods in Aleppo city which angered Berry clan and caused clashes but was stopped after Russian Police intervened and the Fua’a militias were given houses in al-Ballora area and near al-Somoud stadium after leaving the houses in Berry clan areas.
