The areas recaptured included the Weaponry College and the Air Force Technical College in the Ramousah area on the city's southwestern outskirts. Rebels captured those areas last month in an assault that broke through a government siege on Aleppo's opposition-held eastern sector. Zakaria Malahifji of the Fastaqim rebel group confirmed reports that the two colleges had been recaptured by government forces. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the war, said later that government forces had also recaptured the Artillery College. Moscow's intervention last year turned the war in Assad's favor in many areas, but rebels have made some gains including in Aleppo and in Hama province, further south.
