(Zaman Al Wasl- Reuters)- Syrian regime warplanes on Sunday have bombed towns in the countryside north of Aleppo, which the Syrian military is seeking to recapture from a mix of insurgent groups, Reuters reported. Last week the Syrian army made a new advance on Aleppo, seizing three villages north of the city and threatening rebel supply lines in a potentially major reversal. Bashar al-Assads army has intensified an offensive in the heavily-populated western areas of Syria as U.S.-led warplanes concentrate on areas in the north and east -- Islamic State areas which Damascus sees as less important. Clashes took place between the Syrian army and Islamic State around Kowaires military airbase in Aleppo, the Syrian Observatory for human Rights said, after Assad’s warplanes carried out raids around it, Reuters reported.
