  • Story Text: The Syrian Army engaged in battles against rebel forces on Saturday (November 5) in the southwest of Aleppo.
    Rebels including the Aleppo based Nur Al Din Zinki armed groups were among the fighters who fought against President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
    Footage obtained by Reuters shows regime forces battling to retake positions lost to the rebels.
    Syria's army, backed by Lebanese, Iranian, the Iraqi Shi'ite militias and Russia's air force, launched a major offensive to retake eastern Aleppo from rebel groups on September 22 after a series of advances allowed them to besiege it this summer.
    Aleppo has become the focal point of fighting in Syria's war, now in its sixth year, pitting Assad and his allies against Sunni rebel groups including some supported by Turkey, Gulf Arab monarchies and the United States.
