Saudi Media Waging Information War, Spreading Fake Images of Horror in Aleppo

On Sunday, the Syrian Army officially declared victory in the battle for Aleppo which began more than four years ago. The first clashes in the city broke out on July 19, 2012.

In the last few months, Aleppo has been an important battleground in Syria, engulfed by a conflict between government forces and a number of terrorist groups.

Over the past three weeks, the Syrian army and popular forces have freed more than 98 percent of the territory of eastern Aleppo. Certain media outlets and popular groups on social networking sites have launched an entire information campaign against Syrian forces in Aleppo.

They are using pictures from the Gaza Strip as well as photos from 2014 and 2015 as proof of the “atrocities” committed by the Syrian army against civilians in Aleppo, Sputnik reported.
