Syrian rebels claim to have entered Aleppo | CNN
Syrian armed rebels claim to have entered Aleppo, the first time rebels have entered the country’s second largest city since government forces recaptured the city in 2016.
Rebel forces launched a surprise attack this week, capturing a number of villages and reigniting conflict that had been largely static for years.
“Our forces have begun entering the city of Aleppo,” a statement from the newly formed rebel coalition, the Military Operations Command, said. CNN could not independently verify the claim and has contacted the Syrian government for comment.
