Syria troops hit back at rebels in Damascus and Aleppo

BBC – Government forces have hit back at rebel-held areas in Syria’s two biggest cities – Damascus and Aleppo. Sustained assaults were launched on Sunday against the north-eastern Damascus suburb of Barzeh, and against Mezzeh, in the west of the city. Some reports from activists said troops regained control of Mezzeh, killing about 20 people suspected of helping the rebels. Fighting was also said to be continuing in the country’s second city, Aleppo.
