As the Assad regime is reportedly swiftly losing power in Aleppo, opposition forces have grabbed a tenuous foothold in Aleppo and are soon to seize control of the whole city, activists say.
On the same day, opposition forces carried out an attack on Aleppo’s Hamedani Stadium, where 10,000 Assad soldiers were located and killed 13 of them. Opposition fighters also killed a group of 45 Shiites connected to Mukteda al-Sadr, an Islami Iraqi political leader. Residents said the bodies were sent back to Iraq.
Meanwhile, Assad forces targeted communication channels, cutting off all the means of communication in the city. The opposition has also received information claiming the Assad forces, although weakened in the city, are preparing a larger operation.
