Clashes in Syria's Aleppo after army warning

Syrian regime forces clashed with opposition fighters on the outskirts of eastern Aleppo city on Sunday (November 13th), AFP reported.

Clashes broke out in the Karam al-Turab neighbourhood and the village of al-Aziza just outside the city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The fighting came as residents in east Aleppo received text messages warning opposition fighters to leave the city within 24 hours.

"Gunmen in east Aleppo, you have 24 hours only to take the decision to leave," the message said.

"Those who want to save their lives must put down their weapons and their safety will be guaranteed. After the end of this period, the planned strategic offensive will begin," it added.

Syria's regime and army have regularly sent opposition fighters and residents in eastern Aleppo text messages warning them to leave the besieged sector.

Rockets fired into regime-held western Aleppo killed four people in the Halab al-Jadida district on Sunday, the Observatory said, while seven people were killed in regime rocket fire into Salhine district in east Aleppo.
