Leave Aleppo or face 'inevitable death', warns Syrian army

The Syrian army has ordered rebels in Aleppo to leave the city or face "inevitable death", as a series of air strikes on the neighbouring Idlib province killed at least 50 people, including several children.

Aleppo shook from the sound of explosions throughout the day as pro-government forces, including foreign fighters dispatched from Lebanon, Iraq and Iran, pounded the city's opposition neighbourhoods in the east.
