BEIRUT, Lebanon — Syrian jihadists and their Turkish-backed allies reach the outskirts of the northern city of Aleppo after staging two car bomb attacks, as they press a major offensive against government troops.
“Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied factions… were able to enter the outskirts of the Al-Hamdaniya and New Aleppo neighborhoods of the city of Aleppo after carrying out twin suicide attacks with two booby-trapped cars,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor says.
