Grad missiles: Syria's Aleppo witnesses most violent military showdown

Syria's northern city of Aleppo is witnessing the most intense shelling and clashes since the conflict began there four years ago, following a major offensive the "rebels" had waged on Friday, a monitor group reported on Sunday.



Hundreds of rockets and unspecified shells targeted government-controlled areas in western Aleppo, as part of the rebels' battle of "Greater Epic of Aleppo," according to the "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights".

The London-based watchdog group said the rebels of Jaish al-Fateh, or the Army of Conquest, one of 12 rebel groups waging the offensive in Aleppo, have received new advanced Grad missile and heavy bombs, whose kind is still unknown.

It said the rebels were heavily using the Grad missiles in their attacks on western Aleppo.
