• After one month and a half the Syrian army and its allies have succeeded in having control over the crossings of the armed groups in Alkestlo and Leiramoun, the cost was limited comparing with the consequences.
• The armed groups have waged five attacks against Al Mallahat area before they admitted of their inability of raising the siege off Alkestlo. That led to hundreds of dead and the destruction of tens of vehicles.
•  The bet started then on a side corridor that links the South with the East across Al Ramouseh, thus preventing supplying the army in the West of Aleppo, killing two birds with one stone, by raising the blockade of the eastern neighborhoods and besieging the West.
• The cost of the five attacks was more than thousand dead and tens of vehicles, they have ended with having control on sites that were under the control of the army specially the colleges and Ramouseh, but they did not succeed neither in besieging the west of Aleppo which the road of its supply has been secured from Bani Zeid Alkestlo, nor raising the siege of the east of Aleppo, because the corridor is dedicated for the pedestrians at night under great caution just for emergencies because it is in a crossfire, so it does not suitable for transferring the supplies and the provisions.
• The army and the allies have started the reverse attack to recapture the sites which they lost.
• The armed groups have improved their financial and moral situation temporarily after the defeat of Alkestlo but they neither besiege nor raise the siege.
