Rebels have seized the villages of Obeida and Hajireh
southeast of Aleppo city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights have
said.
The takeover comes amid a rebel attempt to cut off the army's main supply route linking Hama in central Syria to Aleppo in the north.
Meanwhile in Damascus, the loyalist air force staged two strikes against the eastern district of Jobar, home to sizeable pockets of resistance to the army, the London-based Observatory said.

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported violence in
southern Damascus and said the entrance to the Yarmouk Palestinian
refugee camp had been closed, a day after an army assault on rebel
positions in the district.
More than 85 percent of Palestinians living in Yarmouk camp have been displaced due to the violence in the last two years, said Filippo Grandi, the commissioner general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), on Monday.
“Out of 150,000 Palestinians living in Yarmouk, 130,000 have been displaced,” Grandi told reporters in a press conference in New York.

Turkey's deputy prime minister says his country supports
Syria's territorial integrity and will not tolerate the creation of a
"de facto" Syrian Kurdish entity on its frontiers.
