AMMAN, July 22 (Reuters) – Syrian rebel forces on Sunday
seized the army’s infantry school in the town of Musalmiyeh, 16
km (ten miles) north of the city of Aleppo, a senior military
defector based in Turkey and rebel sources inside Syria said.
“This is of big strategic and symbolic importance. The
school has ammunition depots and armoured formations and it
protects the northern gate to Aleppo,” Brigadier General Mustafa
al-Sheikh told Reuters by phone from the town of Apayden on the
border with Syria.
