The fighting is a significant escalation since rebels launched a surprise offensive earlier this week, seizing towns and villages as they cut a path toward Syria’s second-largest city.

Summary

Syrian insurgents, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), breached Aleppo on Friday after detonating two car bombs, marking the first rebel siege of the city since 2016.

The attack is part of a broader offensive launched Wednesday, with rebels seizing towns and villages en route to Syria’s second-largest city.

Fierce clashes with regime forces have killed at least 121 people, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Residents are fleeing western Aleppo amid missile fire, while state media reported insurgent attacks on Aleppo University that killed four, including two students.

    You can tell it’s imperial news by the use of terms like “insurgent” and “rebels” instead of “terrorist” or “extremist”.

    Bonus points for describing syrian government as “regime” and blaming iran/russia. Zero mention of zio/usa involvement.

    Who can take this wacky propaganda seriously?

      How am I supposed to take this seriously when it leads with “followed the Israeli regime’s defeats against resistance in … the Palestinian territories”? The only Israeli defeats I’ve been hearing about in Gaza are against their PR department.
