SYRIA - CONFLICT - REBELS
Rebel fighters run during a battle against Syrian government soldiers in Handarat, on the northern outskirts of Aleppo, on October 20, 2014. Syrian troops backed by fighters from Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah, took Handarat, four kilometres (2.5 miles) north of the ring road around Aleppo, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. But the Observatory said rebels had sent reinforcements to Handarat, and that fierce clashes had broken out for control of a hill by the same name that overlooks the main supply route from Turkey into Aleppo.
