SOHR: Airstrikes resumed over Aleppo

Airstrikes resumed on rebel-held areas in Aleppo countryside for the first time since the evacuation of armed opposition and civilians from the city.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), the strikes targeted the south-west and south of the city that has been recaptured by the regime forces in a major victory for Syrian President Bashar al Assad. 

At least six people, including two children were killed by the airstrikes, SOHR added. 

Meanwhile, rebels bombarded Aleppo and killed at least three people as Assad and his allies said that the withdrawal of opposition fighters could pave the way toward a political solution in the conflict-torn country. 

The last fighter left the city on Thursday to the western Aleppo countryside, under an agreed upon ceasefire deal.

The deal allowed the 35,000 people, mostly civilians, to leave Aleppo, said the International Committee of the Red Cross.
