Russia promises help to Assad in Syria – Reuters

Syrian rebels have reached Aleppo. Syrian authorities closed the airport and all roads leading into the city after rebels said they had reached the center of Aleppo. This information is reported by Reuters with reference to three military sources.

Opposition militants led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham carried out a surprise operation in government-controlled cities and are back in Aleppo after a decade. Russia has promised to provide additional military assistance to Assad to fight the rebels, with new equipment due to arrive within 72 hours.

The Syrian army was ordered to retreat from rebel-held areas of Aleppo. Their offensive began in the middle of the week, and by Friday they were able to capture several areas of the city. Rebels are returning to Aleppo for the first time since 2016, when the city was retaken by Assad's army, Russia, Iran and Shiite militias. Their actions were made possible by the weakening of Iranian-backed forces in the region, which suffered from Israeli strikes.

In response to Russian and Syrian airstrikes on rebel-held civilian areas, the latter launched an offensive against towns and villages in the northwestern province of Aleppo. Türkiye supports this operation, although it seeks to avoid further instability in the region. The attacks killed at least 27 civilians. Russia condemned the actions of the rebels, considering their actions a violation of Syrian sovereignty.

Israel fired on Iranian-backed forces in the region, allowing the rebels to return to Aleppo. The conflict in the region is becoming increasingly tense, and the parties involved are taking active steps to protect their interests. Putin, Putin, Putin has pledged to provide support to Assad to help him deal with the rebels.
