Details
Syrian rebels have launched a major assault on areas controlled by government forces, sparking fierce clashes for a second day and seizing territory in western Aleppo. They take advantage of the fact that Israel defeated the Hezbollah group, and Russia sent most of its troops from Syria to Ukraine.
The reason for the intensification of military operations, as stated by the rebels, is the increase in the frequency of attacks on civilian objects from the districts of Aleppo. The last attack took place on November 26, as a result of which three children were killed and 14 civilians were injured.
The offensive is being conducted in the direction of Aleppo – the capital of the province of the same name. Before the destruction of the city by Russian aircraft, it was considered a powerful, rich industrial and cultural center in northern Syria. Russia and Assad turned it into ruins.
The situation, apparently, has become critical because Bashar Assad, who has been the president of Syria since 2000, arrived in the Russian Federation unplanned. Russian President Vladimir Putin is currently in Kazakhstan, where the CSTO summit is taking place.
It is interesting that the official Russian mass media do not report on Bashar Assad’s visit to the Russian Federation. This became known from a report by the Halab Today channel
It is not known who Assad is meeting while the Russian president and his ally are away.
We will remind
As a result of Israeli strikes on Damascus and a military facility near Homs, one Syrian soldier was killed and seven were wounded. The attacks were directed at the Kafr Susa area and a military facility, causing material damage.
