At least 30 civilians were killed and 210 others injured in rebel shelling on government-controlled areas in the northern city of Aleppo over the past 24 hours. Syria’s national TV said, rebels have intensified shelling by rockets and mortars against government-held areas in the western part of Aleppo since Sunday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor group said, the Syrian army yesterday recaptured several points the rebels had taken during their offensive on Sunday in the southern countryside of Aleppo.
The UK-based watchdog group said, intense battles, however, are still raging in southern Aleppo. Meanwhile, President Bashar al-Assad has announced an amnesty for the rebels who surrender with their weapons to the authorities.
