Siege of Nubl and al-Zahraa

The siege of Nubl and al-Zahraa during the Syrian civil war was laid by rebels to capture two Syrian government-held towns north of Aleppo, after they had seized most of the northern countryside in July 2012. The siege was lifted on 3 February 2016, as a result of a Syrian government offensive.[15]

Aftermath[edit]

The day following the end of the siege Nubl and al-Zahraa, the Syrian government advanced east and captured the town of Mayer[42] as well as reportedly Kafr Naya.[43] Meanwhile, further north, the Kurdish YPG seized two villages from the rebels.[44]
