🚨 EXCLUSIVE SOURCE FROM DAMASCUS

🇸🇾 Syrian Source: the recent terrorist attack in the Aleppo countryside, coupled with the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, is no mere coincidence. Several international and regional actors, including Israel, Turkey, the United States, France, and other Western nations, are working toward achieving broader political objectives. These countries are seeking to involve Syria in advancing their agenda concerning Lebanon, which primarily aims to limit the influence of Hezbollah and weaken its military and political capabilities by exerting pressure on its support base.

🇸🇾 Syrian Source: anyone familiar with President Assad’s political history understands that he does not yield to short-term political bargaining or external pressures. His approach is grounded in long-term strategies, rather than reactive or opportunistic decisions. This strategic vision is what sets Syria apart in its dealings with both regional and international issues.

🇸🇾 Syrian Source: The assault in the Aleppo countryside will not go unanswered. Syria will respond decisively and the aggressors will be defeated.

🇸🇾 Aleppo is among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with a history spanning over 7,000 years. Archaeological evidence of human settlement in Aleppo dates back to the 6th millennium BC, making it a living testament to the resilience of civilization through centuries of change and conflict.

In 1915, my grandparents fled the horrors of the Armenian Genocide and found safety in Aleppo. The city offered them a refuge, a place to rebuild their lives away from the persecution that devastated their homeland. This history is deeply personal for me because Aleppo was also where I was born and raised. I studied in its schools, wandered its historic streets, and absorbed its rich culture. Walking through Aleppo feels like stepping into a historic film. Its ancient walls and vibrant spirit breathe life into its remarkable story.

However, the Aleppo I know has often been misrepresented. Much of what you hear about the war in Syria—especially regarding Aleppo—has been shaped by manipulative narratives designed to manufacture consent for foreign intervention. Since 2011, NATO countries and their allies have engaged in a concerted effort to destabilize Syria under the guise of promoting democracy and human rights. But the real motivations behind their actions tell a different story.

In 2011, following the NATO-led intervention in Libya that resulted in the toppling of Muammar Qaddafi, Syria became the next target. Libya’s descent into chaos, including the emergence of an open-air slave market, revealed the devastating consequences of such interventions. With Syria, the goals were strategic and multifaceted. The U.S. and its allies aimed to remove Bashar al-Assad to achieve several objectives:

🚨 Disrupt the “axis of resistance,” in which Syria plays a crucial role.
🚨 Dislodge Russia’s presence in the Mediterranean by expelling its fleet.
🚨 Block China’s Belt and Road Initiative from extending to the eastern Mediterranean.
🚨 Install a government in Damascus favourable to U.S. and Israeli interests while weakening Hezbollah.
🚨 Facilitate a Qatari pipeline through Syria to Turkey, undermining Russia’s Nord Stream projects and securing Europe’s energy supply.

To achieve these ends, NATO, along with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, funnelled military support to radical groups in Syria. Operations were coordinated through two joint military rooms—MOK in Jordan and MOM in Turkey. Tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons was supplied to extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Nusra Front, the same groups often labelled as global threats to peace.

But Aleppo resisted. Unlike other regions, its people largely rejected joining the war against the government. The lessons of Iraq and Libya were fresh in their minds, and the residents of Aleppo recognized the foreign interference driving the conflict. They also had a reason to value stability: under Assad’s leadership, Aleppo had seen significant investment, particularly in advanced industrial cities that transformed the region into an economic powerhouse. This progress posed a threat to Turkey’s ambitions, and in response, Erdogan’s government opened the borders, allowing tens of thousands of foreign fighters to flood into northern Syria, including Aleppo.

In mid-2012, terrorists launched a major offensive on Aleppo. They occupied its suburbs before advancing into the city. During the years of occupation from 2012 to 2016, these groups dismantled Aleppo’s industrial infrastructure, smuggling entire factories into Turkey. In 2014, I personally witnessed the devastation in one of Aleppo’s industrial zones. The terrorists also imposed a brutal siege on the city’s western neighbourhoods, cutting off food, medicine, and even essentials for newborns. Their actions caused immense suffering, leaving families like mine to endure starvation and daily shelling. Funerals became a routine occurrence, as mortars, sniper fire, and “hell cannons” claimed countless lives.

In 2016, the tide turned. The Syrian Army, supported by the Russian Air Force, Hezbollah, and Iranian commanders, broke the siege and liberated Aleppo. However, Western media portrayed this liberation as an “occupation by Assad’s militias” and framed the defeat of the extremist rebels as a loss for “democratic forces.” Such narratives ignored the realities on the ground and the genuine relief felt by Aleppo’s people.

After the city’s liberation, reconstruction efforts began, and Aleppo experienced a period of peace. However, new threats have emerged. On November 27, militants in Idlib launched a massive offensive against western Aleppo, coinciding with a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. The timing of the attack, just hours after Netanyahu’s warning to Assad about “playing with fire” for supporting Palestinian and Lebanese armed struggle, suggests a broader geopolitical strategy at play.

The goal of this offensive appears to be twofold: to overstretch Syrian forces geographically and pave the way for a potential Israeli incursion from the Golan Heights. In recent weeks, Israel has fortified its positions along the Syrian border, installing surveillance technology and mobilizing troops and tanks. While an outright invasion is uncertain, the pressure on Assad is clear. The demands are familiar: distance Syria from Iran, abandon Hezbollah, align with “moderate Arab” states, and normalize relations with Israel.

Despite these challenges, one thing remains certain: Aleppo will not fall again. The resilience of its people and the strength of its defenders ensure that the city will withstand whatever comes next. Aleppo’s history is one of survival, and its future will be no different.

🇸🇾 The Syrian Army’s Response to Terrorist Attacks

🚨 Phase One
The first phase involves absorbing the massive attack launched by terrorists. This occasionally requires temporarily evacuating certain positions and villages for a short period. Breaches may occur during this phase due to the sheer size of the enemy’s attacking force, particularly as they rely heavily on infiltrators and show little concern for their own human losses.

🚨 Phase Two
Following the absorption of the attack, the focus shifts to turning the breach zones into kill zones and operational theatres aimed at destroying the attacking waves and formations. This phase can take time, with its primary objective being to exhaust the terrorists both in manpower and equipment. It also includes targeting supply lines, bases, and ammunition depots to continuously weaken them until they are fully depleted.

🚨 Phase Three
This phase runs parallel to Phase Two and involves mobilizing forces in the rear to prepare for a wide-scale counteroffensive. Simultaneously, efforts to destroy the waves of terrorist attacks and deplete their manpower and logistical capacities continue. Once sufficient depletion is achieved, the counteroffensive is launched, with forces advancing into enemy-held areas.

🚨 Launching the Counteroffensive
The counteroffensive launch may take anywhere from hours to days or even weeks, depending on the size of the enemy’s attacking force and the extent of depletion achieved. This strategy has been implemented many times before, often resulting in successfully liberating new areas previously under terrorist control.

🚨 The Decisive Outcome
While the terrorists may feel temporarily victorious for hours, days, or even weeks, potentially bolstered by external support from adversaries like Israel through anticipated attacks, the ultimate outcome will be decisive. The counteroffensive may evolve into a wide-scale military operation aimed at reclaiming villages and towns along the M4 highway, thus restoring control and shifting the balance in favour of the Syrian Army.
