As the battle rages for control of Aleppo's airport (see yesterday's post), this report suggests that there is fighting going on inside the city. If the Syrian military hit targets in the district, killing over 30 people, there must have been active rebels in the vicinity. And the photo that accompanies the story shows a badly damaged urban landscape, suggesting that the fighting has been going on for some time.
One can only wonder how much damage has been done to the Syrian infrastructure. I've seen estimates over $10 billion. But I think that it is obvious that when this civil war ends, Syria is going to be a mess physically, politically, and socially.
