In Syria frontline town, residents 'stuck' between rivals

Tadif, located about 32 kilometres (20 miles) east of Aleppo city, is a quiet front line between regime forces and Ankara-backed rebels in a part of Syria controlled by a patchwork of rival forces.

Khalil Ibrahim lives a few blocks away from his northern Syria home, but a border separating regime and rebel-held territory makes it impossible for him to reach his front door.

"I currently live in a friend's house, only 300-350 metres (985-1150 feet) away from my own home," he told AFP from the town of Tadif, where rebel and regime fighters split control.
