Egypt to send ground troops to Syria in support of Assad: report

Egypt will send ground troops to Syria in support of the embattled President Bashar al-Assad, Iran's independent Tasnim news agency reported on Thursday.


The two countries restored their diplomatic ties after Egypt's previous leader, the Muslim Brotherhood-based Mohammed Morsi, was ousted in a military coup that saw army chief Abdel Fatah el-Sisi ascend to the post.

Earlier in the day Syrian rebels renewed their bid to break a government siege of eastern Aleppo, shelling regime-held parts of the city hours before a brief Russian-declared ceasefire was due to begin.

State media said at least 12 people had been killed in rebel rocket and gunfire on regime-controlled neighbourhoods, after an assault that began with a double car bomb attack.
