Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
ai generated text
Rebel groups, backed by HTS, have launched a major offensive in north and northwestern Syria, capturing over 50 towns and villages. The fighting has resulted in the deaths of at least 255 people, including 24 civilians. The rebels have employed car bombs, with at least two detonated on the outskirts of Aleppo. Government forces have regained some positions, but the rebels have made significant gains, with fighters entering the city of Aleppo for the first time in years. The offensive is seen as the most intense fighting in the region since 2020, with reports of armored vehicles and armed militants on the streets.
The Russian air force is carrying out rocket-bomb attacks on... control points, warehouses and artillery positions of terrorists.
We are in favour of the Syrian authorities bringing order to the area and restoring constitutional order as soon as possible.
The large numbers of terrorists and the multiplicity of battlefronts prompted our armed forces to carry out a redeployment operation aimed at strengthening the defence lines in order to absorb the attack, preserve the lives of civilians and soldiers, and prepare for a counterattack.
It is of utmost importance for Turkiye that yet another and greater instability is avoided and that civilians are not harmed.
Russian air strikes on the Aleppo countryside killed 19 civilians on Thursday.
It is strange to see regime forces being dealt such big blows despite Russian air cover and early signs that HTS was going to launch this operation.
I think the regime didn't expect such a quick move, the operation started just a few days ago.
No one expected Aleppo to be taken, which means there were no real defensive lines within the city. Once they got there it seems like it was all open.
The regime's lines of defence have crumbled, I think they were taken aback. No one anticipated how fast the rebels would reach towards the edge of Aleppo.
The drones have certainly played a big role but what's more important is that the opposition has integrated them into their overall military manoeuvres. This reflects a broader trend: they are focusing on professionalising their military units, allowing for more effective deployment.
