Syria rebels say fighting army in Salaheddine
ALEPPO, Syria (Reuters) – Syrian rebels said they had regained control over parts of a strategic district of Aleppo on Thursday after countering a sustained assault by President Bashar al-Assad‘s forces seeking to retake Syria’s biggest city.
They said army tanks had pulled back from Salaheddine, the southern gateway to Aleppo, and pockets of fighting continued across the district which Syrian official media said on Wednesday had been “cleansed” of rebel fighters.
