your probably right but don't you think the sieged military base in city would still count as part of the ongoing city battle i don't think the wadi deif military base is not so far from the actual city of maarat al'numan plus theirs government presence in the city you probably hear reports from aljazeera which is an extremely byist network for the terrorists and mercenaries of the fsa they take rebels claims of taking the entire city and killing soldiers but we both know after the battle of al raqqah government forces quickly took back the city im trying to say that you should look into more reliable sources like sana that's simply how wikipedia works april utc
