Syria rebels enter Aleppo city, reports say
ALEPPO — Rebel forces have entered parts of Syria’s second-largest city, Aleppo, a monitoring group says, in the biggest offensive against the government in years.
The UK-based group says fighters set off two car bombs before advancing into neighborhoods, without giving further details.
Government forces meanwhile say they have regained control of positions that had been taken by rebels in the Idlib and Aleppo countryside, Syria’s state news agency reported.
The militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied factions said they seized a number of towns and villages in Aleppo and Idlib provinces after launching the offensive on Wednesday.
The monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), which uses a network of sources on the ground in Syria, reported that Syrian and Russian planes carried out 23 air strikes on Aleppo city and the surrounding countryside on Friday.
The SOHR said 255 people, mostly combatants, had been killed in the fighting, the deadliest between rebels and pro-government forces in Syria for years.
It said opposition forces had taken control of more than 50 towns and villages since Wednesday.
Fighting which had raged since the civil war began in Syria in 2011 had largely wound down by 2020, when Turkey and Russia — Syria’s key ally – brokered a ceasefire to halt a push by the government to retake Idlib.
That led to an extended lull in violence, but sporadic clashes, air strikes and shelling continued.
Idlib is the last remaining opposition stronghold and is home to more than four million people, many of whom have been displaced during the conflict and are living in dire conditions. — BBC

Turkish #drones are reportedly getting involved in N. Syria as US-backed PKK/YPG terrorists move in from the East to support Assad’s sectarian Shia forces.
Türkiye has been caring for over 4 MILLION Syrian refugees and aims to create a safe zone for them to relocate to. 🇹🇷🇸🇾

In northern Syria Kurds are fighting Global Jihad and resisting Turkish genocidal expansionism.
Thousands of ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Turkic terrorists have poured into Northern Syria to occupy the region and annex it to Turkey.
The free world must support the Kurds.
Why does the Western mainstream media never mention the American-occupied territories in Syria?
Chief of the General Security Directorate of the Assad regime, Brigadier Hassam Louka is currently leading a coup detat against Assad in #Damascus, capital city of #Syria. He is leading a group of #Syrian Army soldiers who are trying to capture Assad family.

“Just when you thought things couldn’t get any wilder, and when you thought that the pager operation in Lebanon was phenomenal, reports across Syria state that dozens, maybe even hundreds, of pagers and walkie talkies of the Assad Syrian army have mysteriously started exploding.
And of course they’re blaming Israel.”

‘We thank Israel!’
The Zionist regime’s TV officially and brazenly broadcast remarks by one of the commanders of Takfiri terrorists in Syria, who openly says: “We thank Israel for killing the commanders and fighters of Hezbollah and weakening the Axis of Resistance and Iran.”

Erdogan didn’t send a single bullet to Gaza, Lebanon, or the occupied West Bank, but he armed and trained an army of foreign Al-Qaeda affiliated fighters to invade and occupy the Syrian Arab Republic which provides crucial support for the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance.
