If Assad takes Aleppo there will be ‘a massacre all over the city’
Residents fear the worst but say they expect the rebels to soldier on and bog Assad down in a house-to-house fight
ALEPPO, Syria - Residents in rebel-held East Aleppo say they fear a city-wide massacre if forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and their Russian allies, manage to crush opposition in the last major urban stronghold held by the rebels.

The Syrian army began a three-pronged military offensive on the rebel-held parts of the city over the weekend, with Russia also stepping up airstrikes that have taken aim at hospitals, markets and water facilities.

According to rebel sources inside the city, more than 300 people, including many women and children, have been killed in just a few days, making this one of the most brutal offensives to happen in Syria since the uprising against the government first broke out more than five years ago.
