On 2 August, the Army continued with its push to regain ground[1] and managed to retake several more positions in the vicinity of the 1070 Housing Project,[58] as well as Al-‘Amariyah village and two more hills.[59] Still, later in the day, the rebels launched an assault on the Ramouseh district, with two rebel tunnel bombs detonating under buildings that were used as barracks by government forces.[21][60] Subsequently, rebels inside Aleppo made an advance into Ramouseh,[6][61][62] attempting to flank the Military Academy.[21] Further to the south, the rebels also took control of the village of Huwayz[63] and a hill at Al-‘Amariyah.[21] At the same time, on the western edge of Aleppo, the rebels seized the Minyan Sawmills area.[60] However, this turned out to be a trap when the Army called in four precise Russian air-strikes on the complex, killing 38 rebels and forcing them to withdraw.[21][64] Meanwhile, the rebel assault on Ramouseh was slowed due to heavy Russian air-strikes, despite the rebels holding overlooking positions.[65] The attack on Ramouseh was eventually repelled with minimal rebel gains,[21] that were recaptured,[66] and the Army managed to retake Huwayz and the surrounding hills.[44][67][68][69] While the heavy fighting on the southwestern edge of Aleppo continued, government forces reportedly secured 30 percent of the Handarat Camp in the northeast of Aleppo during the day.[70] In course of the day's fighting, rebel forces suffered heavy casualties with several commanders killed.
