Syria Live: The Deaths on Easter Sunday
Monday, April 1, 2013 at 6:41 | James Miller in EA Live, EA Middle East and Turkey, Middle East and Iran 1959 GMT: More Rebel Firepower in Aleppo. To drive home the point that the rebels of the Liwaa al Tawid Brigade are deploying a significant amount of firepower, a reader shares a video of either a T-62 or T-72 tank (hard to distinguish between the two from this angle) used against the regime's base in the area of the Jandalla Roundabout, near the Aleppo Central Prison (see update 1932).
It appears that the scope of this offensive is quite large, spanning a stretch or bases and industrial buildings that stretch between the Jandalla Roundabout and the Central Prison to the north. This suggests that this operation was carefully planned, especially since so many heavy vehicles and field guns have been deployed to the area at the same time.
It's unclear if the rebels captured the prison. Still no sign of regime airforce in any of the videos we've seen, however.
