Syrian rebels have said they captured the entire western area
of Aleppo, a northern province that has seen harsh clashes between the
regime and opposition forces for months.
“We managed to liberate the western entry point to Aleppo. We achieved this victory against the [President Bashar] Assad forces and Iranian Revolutionary Guards, along with some forces from Hezbollah,” rebels said in a video shared on the Internet on Tuesday.
“At this point, we can say that Khan al-Assal has been liberated entirely and is in our control, which means that Aleppo’s countryside is in our control.”
Khan al-Assal was the last regime bastion in the western part of Aleppo province, which lies on the Turkish border, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based NGO monitoring the developments in Syria relying on intelligence from activists in the country.
Video uploaded on Youtube reportedly shows fighting between government forces and rebels in the Aleppo district of al-Rashideen.
