Just to clarify, the distance between Aleppo and Damascus is 350km, which I’d say is a pretty big gap. The two cities are pretty much on the opposite sides of the country.

Amd just to clarify one thing:

The "Rebels" are a comglomerate of mostly wannabe-fighter groups, under the control and leadership of ISIS.

The last thing you want is ISIS controlling Syria. (Aleppo was sort-of "captured" by the Kurds when they saw Assad's troups running away and ISIS not moving in - so they took the opportunity. They don't really have a chance holding Aleppo once ISIS realises their blunder).
