DAMASCUS: At least 10 people were killed Friday when airstrikes hit several rebel-held neighborhoods in Syria’s contested northern city of Aleppo and neighboring Idlib province, anti-government activists said.
Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and former commercial center, has seen sporadic clashes since the February 27 cease-fire, as government troops advanced, boxing in opposition-held areas from all sides except for a corridor from the northwestern edge of the town.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 10 people were killed in the airstrikes in Aleppo’s Bustan al-Qasr neighborhood and other parts of the city controlled by rebels.
