Syrian troops press rebels in fierce airport clashes
Syrian army troops are advancing on rebel-held positions surrounding three military airports near the city of Aleppo in northern Syria, Al Mayadeen TV reported. Several militant groups attempted to take control of the airports and destroy their runways to undermine the Syrian army’s air superiority. Fierce fighting for the Aleppo international airport and the neighboring military air base have been reported. Government forces earlier said they repelled the rebels from two other air bases in the area, days after rebels seized the Al-Jarrah airport and the military Base 80.
