BEIRUT, Lebanon, Nov 30, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - A monitor of Syria's war said
Saturday jihadist rebels now controlled a majority of Aleppo city, reporting
Russian air strikes on parts of Syria's second city for the first time since
2016.

"Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied factions... took control of most of
the city and government centres and prisons", said the Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights, adding that overnight, Russian "warplanes
launched raids on areas of Aleppo city for the first time since 2016".
