Insurgents have breached Aleppo for the first time since 2016, resulting in intense clashes with government forces and causing residents to flee in fear.
The assault has drawn attention to the weakening Syrian government forces, as reports indicate they failed to mount a significant defense against the insurgents.
Robert Ford, former U.S. ambassador to Syria, noted that the latest rebel gains highlight the extreme weakness of government forces, with suggestions they were almost entirely routed.
This offensive by insurgents marks the largest military action in northwestern Syria in recent years, heralding renewed violence amidst ongoing conflicts in the region.
