Reports indicate a resurgent rebel force has launched a major offensive in Aleppo, raising tensions amidst governmental regaining of strategic positions.
Rebel forces have initiated a significant offensive in Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, according to a monitoring organization. This marks the most substantial stride against government control in several years. Initial reports from the UK-based group included details of two car bombs detonated by the fighters prior to their advance into various neighborhoods. In contrast, state media reported that government troops have successfully regained territory previously lost to the insurgents in the neighboring Idlib and Aleppo regions. The militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its allies declared the capture of multiple towns and villages across Aleppo and Idlib provinces following the commencement of their offensive on Wednesday. The conflict, now deeply entrenched, continues to evolve as the dynamics shift on the ground in the Middle East.
