Assad's Forces Begin Major Offensive in Aleppo
2012-08-08
According to regime and rebel sources, the Syrian army has taken positions in the district in a major blow for insurgents.

Reuters reported from Aleppo on Wednesday morning that Syrian rebels had abandoned their positions in a district that has been a frontline of fighting in recent days.

“We have retreated, get out of here,” rebels told reporters.

The news agency reported that a checkpoint that had been manned by rebel fighters for the last week had disappeared.

A rebel commander told AFP that army tanks had penetrated Salaheddin on Wednesday morning, sparking fierce clashes with the insurgents.
