Syrians celebrate as terror/rebel defences collapse in Aleppo

The Syrian army and its allies said they were poised to declare victory in Aleppo after terror/rebel defences collapsed on Monday, leaving insurgents in a tiny, heavily bombarded pocket of ground.


Reporters in the government-held zone said the bombardment of terror/rebel areas of the city had continued non-stop on Monday, and a civilian trapped there described the situation as resembling "Doomsday".

"The battle in eastern Aleppo should end quickly. They [the terror/rebels] don't have much time. They either have to surrender or die," Lieutenant General Zaid al-Saleh, head of the government's Aleppo security committee, told reporters in the recaptured Sheikh Saeed district of the city.
