Syria: Government troops push further into eastern Aleppo
SYRIAN government troops and foreign volunteers pushed forward on two fronts into insurgent-occupied east Aleppo yesterday.
The army expanded the foothold in the north-eastern Hanano district that it had won earlier in the week, capturing most of the area.
Other units, supported by the al-Quds Brigade of Palestinian refugees, struck deep into the Sheikh Lufti and Ard al-Hamra districts in the south-east.
