Rebel forces, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, have launched a surprise offensive, seizing control of large parts of Aleppo, marking a pivotal moment in the Syrian war.
Following a temporary troop withdrawal, Syria's military is preparing for counterattacks, indicating potential escalation in a conflict that’s been ongoing for 13 years.
Four main groups are competing for territory in Syria, including Syrian government forces, Syrian Democratic Forces, HTS and allied rebels, and Turkish-aligned forces.
HTS's recent offensive is described as retaliation against Syrian government assaults in Idlib, illustrating the insurgency's continuation despite prior ceasefire agreements.
