Syrian rebels press southward after seizing Aleppo
Syrian rebel fighters said they were pressing southward after taking over most of the country’s second city Aleppo, including its international airport, in a lightning assault that poses the biggest challenge in years to Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
Two rebel groups are leading the push. One is Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ( HTS ), which emerged from al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate.
The belligerents are the last survivors of Syria’s hugely destructive civil war, which began in 2011 as another Arab Spring revolution, with antigovernment protesters demanding Assad leave.
