Rebel forces have entered parts of Aleppo, Syria’s second-largest city, in what is described as the largest attack on the government in years, according to a monitoring group.
The UK-based group reports that fighters set off two car single otp in bombs before advancing into several neighborhoods, though it didn’t provide further details.
Government forces say they have regained control of areas previously taken by rebels in the Idlib and Aleppo countryside, according to Syria’s state news agency.
The Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its allies claimed to have captured several towns and villages in Aleppo and Idlib provinces after launching the offensive on Wednesday.
