Militants led by al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) reached the western outskirts of the city of Aleppo on November 29 as a part of their large-scale offensive against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), codenamed Operation Deterrence of Aggression.
Moving in small, highly-mobile formations, the militants captured an abandoned military research facility right to the east of the New Aleppo suburb in the western outskirts of Aleppo. The facility is located some three kilometers away from the western entrance of the city.
The militants also continued to advance to the south of the city, reportedly capturing the strategic al-Eis hill which overlook vast parts of the governroate’s western and southern countryside. There were also claims of several twins to the east of the hill falling into the hands of the militants.
While advancing, the militants began to shell residential areas in Aleppo city to spread chaos. An indirect fire attack on the student housing at the city’s university left four civilians dead and at least six other wounded, according to Syrian state TV.
Meanwhile in the southern Idlib countryside, the militants also continued to pressure the SAA. Unverified reports said that the town of Khan al-Subul was captured by them.
Russian and Syrian warplanes continue to target the militants of HTS and its allies between Aleppo and Idlib. Meanwhile, the SAA is amassing a large force and preparing a counter-attack which will reportedly be led by the elite 25th Special Mission Forces Division.
At least 114 militants of HTS, 21 others from Turkey-backed factions and some 62 Syrian troops have been killed since the start of the offensive on November 27, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based pro-opposition monitoring group.

hts only 1 ally amerikuntistan
and turkey and saudi arabia and the emirates and formerly quatar as well.
this always happens when there is armed enemy presence nearby. that is why ukraine has to become a dmz🤫🫶👊
urkainian experts went to idlib months ago remember. this was what they were planning. ukraine quite simply has to be destroyed for good. they are like the jews, unable to run a country like normal people. using their country as a staging pad for sub human behavior
look at the names of the ukrainians running the show. you can cut the “like the” out of your sentence regarding the ukrainian elites.
it can be because they are not jews, but germans. nazi germany was not normal. it was financed and used by “us” for sub human behavior. when it had payed of, “us” occupy europe.
the americ*nts never forget and never forgives and assad must go . thus the americ*nts team up with the terrorists in idlib and go on the offensive, against e g aleppo. the jewish/americ*nts wet dream of a greater israel is alive and let the jews take the entire middle east while the c*nts take the oil including iran’s oil. so far iran has been the party blocking any such attempts by the jews but once the americ*nts turned up and threatened iran with nuclear bombs iran fell eerily silent!
the us reigniting their attempt to get rid of assad so israel can control syria. wasn’t there talk of ukrainian advisors in idlib a few months back and with netanyahus surrender speech the other day he said they were going to concentrate on syria and iran… ukraine is lost, israel lost in lebanon so the evil empire is busy in syria again.
obviously erdoğan made a deal with the zionists and his usa nato partner who would allow him to annex syria using a front organization. but nato can not trust him either he wants his own empire.
cacciate shoigu e gerasimov le hanno combinate di tutto incapaci e non tutelano il popolo russo e siriano e dell’iran.
