Shortly after the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, a gruesome battle started to rage in the ancient city of Aleppo.
Government and rebel forces dug in various neighbourhoods, waging a war of attrition, often using sharp shooters.
Especially government snipers west of the old town were terrorising the citizens, turning their every day movements into a lethal game.
These are short fragments of that time.
