Syria army takes all of Aleppo's Old City: monitor

Rebel fighters withdrew in the face of army advances overnight.

Beirut: Syrian government forces control all of Aleppo's historic Old City after rebel fighters withdrew in the face of army advances overnight, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Wednesday.

The Britain-based monitoring group said the rebels had pulled out of the last parts of the Old City under their control after the army seized the neighbouring districts of Bab al-Hadid and Aqyul.
