Syrian forces advance on eastern Aleppo

Описание: (4 Dec 2016) Syrian government forces continued their push on Sunday to drive out opposition fighters from rebel-held areas in eastern Aleppo.
They have retaken the Karam al-Tarrab area as part of their offensive to take back neighbourhoods in the city the rebels have held since 2012.
The country's army has ordered rebels in Aleppo to leave the city or face "inevitable death."
Army spokesman Brig. Gen. Samir Suleiman told The Associated Press that the army has already retaken more than half the neighbourhoods in eastern Aleppo, and that special forces would lead the battle in the narrow streets of the city's historic district.
It comes as a series of airstrikes on an opposition-held town elsewhere in the country killed 21 people, including three children.
