Nicht das ich wüsste, es gibt zwar Berichte von intensivierten Kämpfen aber von einer großen Offensive kann eigentlich garnicht die Rede sein. Jedenfalls nicht direkt in Aleppo.
Es wurden aber einige Dörfer/Städte in der Umgebung erobert.

Operation Northern Storm
On 9 June, the Army announced the start of operation "Northern Storm", in an attempt to recapture territory in and around Aleppo, although other sources said that the operation would yet begin in the coming hours or days.[17] In preparation for the assault the Army reinforced the Shiite villages of Al-Nubbul and Zahra which the government intends to use to advance into Aleppo. Rebel defenses in Salamiyeh, which is south of Aleppo, were strengthened to prevent tanks from moving on Aleppo from that direction.[467]
Between 7 and 14 June, Army troops, government militiamen, and reportedly Hezbollah fighters, launched operations in the province of Aleppo. Over a one-week period, government forces had advanced both in Aleppo city and the countryside around the city, pushing back the rebels. However, on 14 June, according to an opposition activist, the tide had started reversing, after rebels managed to halt an armoured reinforcement column from Aleppo city for the two Shiite villages northwest of the city. As of 16 June, the rebels had been holding back the column for two days. Rebels claimed of being able to destroy one tank and kill 20 government soldiers northwest of the town of Maaret al-Arteek.[468] Before the column was stopped, government forces had captured the high ground at Maaret al-Arteek, threatening rebel positions. Rebels defending the town were boosted after receiving at least 50 Russian-made Konkurs anti-tank missiles in the previous few days from Saudi Arabia.[469] During the fighting in Aleppo city itself, on 13 June, government forces managed to temporarily advance into the rebel-held Sakhour district from two directions, al-Sheikh Khudur and Shurket al-Kahraba,[470] but were soon repelled.[471] Some described it as just simply another skirmish or possibly a probing attack and not a full assault.[472]
On 12 June, FSA fighters claimed to have killed 40 Hezbollah and Syrian army soldiers, who were traveling in buses, in an ambush between the villages of al-Bouz and al-Khanasir.[473]
On 17 June, a car-bomb hit an Army facility in al-Douwairinah district, east of the international airport. Jabhat al-Nusra claimed responsibility for the attack. Some opposition activists claimed the attack killed at least 60 troops.[474] However, according to SOHR, only six soldiers were killed and 15 wounded.[475]
On 21 June, in a statement the FSA said that 13 rebel brigades, amongst them the large Liwa al-Tawhid and the Farouq units, have launched a new offensive in Aleppo. One of the targets attacked is the military research facility in the Rashidin area of New Aleppo, rebel mortars having set it on fire. The rebels claim that they are moving forward in Rashidin with the aim of removing military targets including areas used by the army to shell rebel areas.[476]
On 23 June, 12 government soldiers were killed by a car bomb while 6 rebels from the Islamist Al-Farouq Brigade were killed in fighting in Aleppo.[477][478]
On 24 June, rebels claim to have repulsed a loyalist attack crediting their victory on newly arrived anti-tank weapons. The leader of the Aleppo military council Colonel Abduljabar al-Oqaidi claimed that "The regime pushed forward in the north of the city, but the Free Syrian Army caused a lot of casualties and they went back to their bases."[479] The renew offensive is called “The Battle of Qadisiyah”, a reference to a battle, from 636 AD, in which an Arab army defeated a Persian (now Iranian) army.[480] According to one rebel fighter, the rebels were launching counterattacks in the north east and west of the city, advancing into the agricultural research center.[481]
On 25 June, rebels advancing in western Aleppo were reportedly engaging in "tit for tat" operations against the army in Rashidin and Ashrafiyeh according to SOHR.[482]
