Syria army seizes new rebel district in Aleppo: monitor

BEIRUT, (MILLAT+APP/AFP) – Syrian troops and allied forces advanced overnight seizing Aleppo’s Tariq al-Bab neighbourhood from rebels as
they press an offensive to recapture all of the city, a monitor said
on Saturday.
The capture of the neighbourhood means the government has now
retaken around 60 percent of the east of the city, which the rebels
overran in mid-2012, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
