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.
“Assad regime bolstered by arms from Russia”
A lot of Russian military were in Syria propping up Assad too.
A good time for the rebels to attack as a lot of the Russians have probably gone home to fight the Ukrainians.
From the sound of it, they have half the city. And Russia is MIA. A real sign of weakness.
They have the entire city now, which never previously happened at the peak of the war
Maybe Assad can buy some north Korean troops too.
Russia looks like it’s going to have an Afghanistan 2
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?

cope and mald over another authoritarian regime toppled by domestic freedom fighters.
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.
