Syrian rebels in Aleppo after a shock offensive against Syrian government forces

    Insurgents broke through government defense lines in Aleppo on Friday and entered the city's western quarter with little resistance. The insurgents launched their shock offensive in rural Aleppo and Idlib on Wednesday, struggling to gain control of dozens of towns and cities along the way, including a strategic city south of Aleppo.
