Syrian government forces are reported to be preparing for a major
offensive on rebel-held parts of the northern city of Aleppo and its
surroundings.
A Syrian security source said it would start “in the coming hours or days”.
Opposition activists in the city told the BBC that military
reinforcements, including Hezbollah fighters, had been sent to parts of
Aleppo.
Government forces backed by Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia Islamist group, last week recaptured the town of Qusair.
