Syrian rebels launch Aleppo counter-attack
Syrian rebels including jihadists began a counter-attack against the army and its allies on Friday aiming to break a weeks-long siege on eastern Aleppo, insurgents said. This comes after Russia and Syrian warplanes bombed the rebel-held part of the city, including a school in which over 20 children were killed. Notably, there are over 2,50,000 civilians stuck in Eastern Aleppo.
