Rebel forces have entered parts of Syria’s second-largest city, Aleppo, a monitoring group said, in the biggest offensive against the government in years.
The Britain-based group said the militants detonated two car bombs before advancing into the neighborhood, without giving further details.
Meanwhile, government forces say they have regained control of rebel-held positions in the countryside of Idlib and Aleppo, the Syrian state news agency reported.
The Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied groups said they captured a number of towns and villages in Aleppo and Idlib provinces after launching an offensive on Wednesday.
