Rebel Forces Seize Aleppo Amid Syria's Ongoing Conflict
TL;DR Summary
A coalition of Syrian rebel groups, led by Hayʼat Tahrir ash-Sham and backed by Turkey, launched a significant offensive last week, reclaiming nearly all of Aleppo and other areas in Northwest Syria. This marks the most substantial gains by opposition forces in years, highlighting the vulnerability of President Bashar al-Assad's regime, especially as its main backers, Russia and Iran, are preoccupied with other conflicts. The offensive has intensified battles around Hama, with government forces attempting to counterattack amid ongoing airstrikes by Russian and Syrian forces.
