Militants advance in Aleppo. 11/28/2024

[ColonelCassad] The SAA is not doing well in Aleppo yet. Despite the fact that the enemy's offensive was stopped in a number of areas with losses for the militants, in others it is still far from stabilization. Moreover, the militants have reached the M-5 highway, which the SAA unblocked back in 2020 during the battle for Saraqib and southern Idlib.

The enemy's offensive cannot be stopped by airstrikes by the RRF Aerospace Forces and the Syrian Air Force alone. Additional SAA reserves are currently being transferred to Aleppo, but it will take some time for them to enter the battle. The task now is to slow down the enemy's offensive and buy time to stabilize the situation after reinforcements arrive and then launch a counteroffensive (see the battle in Northern Hama in 2017, which developed according to a similar scenario).

If the SAA, with the support of its allies, succeeds, then in the future, this failure to break through the front may turn out to be an excellent pretext for transferring the offensive to the militant-controlled part of Idlib, which remained with them following the battles of 2020. But this is still a long way off.

Syrian militants launch offensive in Aleppo region
Syrian rebels have launched an offensive on government positions near Aleppo province. This was reported by CNN.

“According to a statement issued by opposition factions on Wednesday, the rebels captured 13 villages, including the strategic towns of Urm al-Sughra and Anjara, as well as Base 46, the largest base of the Syrian government forces in western Aleppo,” the report dated November 27 said.

The report also said that 37 government troops and allied units were killed during the offensive.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier the Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria reported that the Jabhat al-Nusra group (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) is preparing a provocation with the staging of the use of toxic substances in the area of populated areas in the southern part of the Idlib de-escalation zone in order to accuse Syrian government forces of allegedly indiscriminate strikes and the use of toxic substances against the population.

In Aleppo countryside, the opposition turns the tables on the Syrian regime
[Ynet] The Aleppo countryside in Syria is witnessing a new military development as Syrian opposition factions and allied groups launched a surprise attack on positions held by Iranian forces and Syrian regime troops.

The battles mark the first significant military operations between the opposition and the regime in northern Syria since the March 2020 cease-fire.

In the early hours of Wednesday, opposition factions including the Sunni Islamist group Tahrir al-Sham launched the battles, ultimately capturing multiple villages and towns in the western Aleppo countryside. Among the spoils was the Syrian Army’s 46th Regiment military base, which had been subjected to near-daily shelling since the regime captured it in February 2020.

At the time of this report, the factions are still engaged in battle.
I kinda hoped for Lebanese factions ganging on Shiites, but - anything that harms Iran is good.
