"It is forbidden to harm anyone or encroach upon their property, even if they are from any sect, not just Muslims, but everyone else, whether Christians or Armenians or from any sect present in Aleppo."
Syrian rebel group Ahrar al-Sham's leader Ahmed al-Dalati spoke at Aleppo's al-Rawdah mosque, urging inclusivity, dignity and respect for all Syrians, regardless of their religion or sect.
Syrian rebels flooded into the north-western city of Aleppo on Friday, in a shock offensive that has handed President Bashar al-Assad his largest setback in years.
Since breaking out of opposition-held territory at dawn on Wednesday, rebels have charged through the Aleppo countryside, seizing around 50 towns and villages as well as a section of the strategic M5 highway, cutting off supply routes from Damascus.
Rebels took control of most of the city, government centres and prisons without meeting great resistance.
