BREAKING NEWS WAR: Syrian key city Aleppo PLAGUED, FIERCE street BATTLES,TROOPS holiding back REBELS Clashes continue in Syria's largest city, Aleppo, after government troops regained control over most areas of the capital Damascus from the armed opposition. The battle for commercial hub of Syrian has stretched into its sixth day on Thursday. The Syrian army is reportedly using heavy armor, artillery and helicopters to drive out rebels from the areas they control. Also, some RT sources say, the rebel forces received new weapons just before the escalation of violence. There were unconfirmed reports of Syrian Air Force delivering strikes from its fighter jets at rebel positions, although the use of those against urban areas is inefficient unless precision bombs and other similar weapons are used. However, amateur videos of alleged bombing by a "Mig fighter" the rebel forces uploaded on the internet actually showed a plane identified by aviation experts as an Aero L-39 Albatros trainer jet. It could theoretically be fitted with ground attack weapons, but is more likely to be used for reconnaissance missions. Many Aleppo residents left their homes located in the neighborhoods, which saw the worst fighting over recent days. Governmental forces had many of the refugees sheltered in non-affected areas, including the campus of Aleppo University. Apart from the continued violence, the city's biggest problem now is the lack of fuel, people on the ground say. The clashes in Aleppo <b>...</b>

Syrian Army helicopters fired on neighborhoods in the embattled city of Aleppo on Friday morning, activists said, killing at least a dozen people amid increased international alarm about the prospects of bloody siege by the government. Residents reported dwindling supplies of fuel and bread, and a tightening ring of military control. A senior rebel commander said that he had seen about 80 Syrian government tanks on the city's southern outskirts on Friday. They are preparing to reoccupy neighborhoods taken over by the rebels, said the commander, Lt. Malek al-Kurdi, reached by telephone in Syria.They need a huge force Also on Friday, the top United Nations human rights official, Navi Pillay, warning of an imminent confrontation in Aleppo, said she had received unconfirmed reports of atrocities as the fighting escalated and she called on the government and its opponents to protect civilians.

Syria crisis: Fresh clashes rock Damascus and Aleppo
Fierce fighting is reported in Syria's two biggest cities - Damascus and Aleppo - as government forces seek to regain control of rebel-held areas. The army's elite fourth division, backed by helicopters, has reportedly launched an assault on the capital's north-eastern suburb of Barzeh. Troops were also said to have deployed in the western suburb of Mezzeh. Fighting also continued for a third day in Aleppo, where activists said a building had collapsed under tankfire. The violence follows a week in which rebels made major advances, taking control of several parts of Damascus, seizing border crossings and claiming an attack that killed four top security officials, including the defence minister and President Bashar al-Assad's brother-in-law. Meanwhile, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has reported that at least 19106 people had been killed since March 2011. They included 13296 civilians, including those who had taken up arms, as well as 4861 security personnel and 949 army defectors, it said. The UN said in May that at least 10000 people had been killed, while in June the Syrian government reported that 6947 Syrians had died, including at least 3211 civilians and 2566 security forces personnel. Firepower The BBC's Jim Muir in Damascus says government forces seem determined to drive the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) completely out of Damascus and are setting about it quite systematically.

Rebels battle Syrian forces in Damascus - 6-9-2012 (my response)
(my response) Bullets and shrapnel shells smashed into homes in the Syrian capital overnight, as troops battled rebels in the streets, in the heaviest fighting yet in Damascus. The violence marked an increased boldness among rebels in taking their fight against the regime of President Bashar Assad to the center of his power. For nearly 12 hours of fighting that lasted into the early hours Saturday, rebels armed mainly with assault rifles fought Syrian forces. UN observers said rebels fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the local power plant, damaging parts of it and charring six buses, according to video the observers took of the scene. Syrian forces showed the regime's willingness to unleash elevated force in the capital: at least three tank shells slammed into residential areas in the central Damascus neighborhood of Qaboun, an activist said. Intense exchanges of assault-rifle fire marked the clash, according to residents and amateur videos. At least 42 civilians were killed in violence around the country outside Damascus on Saturday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based activist group. Among them were 20, including nine women and children, who died in heavy, pre-dawn shelling in the southern city of Daraa, where the uprising against Assad began in March 2011. The group's figures could not be independently confirmed. In a Daraa mosque, a father stood over his son killed in the shelling, swaddled in a blanket. "I will become a suicide <b>...</b>

Syrian government forces pounded parts of central Homs province Sunday in a renewed push to regain control of rebel-held territories, and activists said at least 38 people were killed by shelling there over the past 24 hours. The main opposition group in exile, the Syrian National Council, elected a Kurdish dissident as its new leader in hopes of overcoming the disorganization and infighting that has hobbled the opposition since the popular revolt against President Bashar Assad began in March 2011. The government assault focused on the town of Qusair, near the border with Lebanon, where activists reported at least six people died on Sunday. Three others were killed in in shelling of the town of Talbiseh, north of the city of Homs, according to the Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. "The mortars came down on Qusair by the dozens," said Abu al-Hoda, a Qusair-based activist. He said women and children have been huddled for days in basements of apartment buildings, too fearful to come out. On Saturday, 29 people died in violence across Homs province, according to activists. Regime forces also unleashed a new round of heavy shelling and sent reinforcements to a <b>...</b>
