Rebels Prepare for Aleppo Offensive

Allied Syrian rebel groups on June 16 launched an offensive to reclaim Aleppo province, amid fierce confrontations between militant groups and the Syrian government. Ten days later, Division 16, a member of the alliance, uploaded footage showing fighters preparing to enter the battlefield in Aleppo’s al-Khalidiya district. The faction also posted video from the clashes. Other groups in the alliance include the al-Islam Army and Ahrar al-Sham.
