For the previous few days, foreign-backed terrorists in Syria’s northwest have been attacking Syrian military positions within the Aleppo and Idlib countryside, and shelling civilian districts of Aleppo.

Whereas regional media have been giving updates on these assaults and counterattacks by Syria and Russia, what’s much less clear is what is going on in Aleppo itself. Terrorist-aligned media declare Tahrir al-Sham (al-Qaeda re-branded) and allied terrorists have taken quite a few western districts and even the town middle.

However their proof – quick movies exhibiting terrorists in numerous areas they declare to manage – was countered by movies of Syrians strolling in key districts, saying issues are calm. Extra on this later.

The next is what is thought in abstract in regards to the assaults.

On Wednesday, November 27, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and Turkish-backed Nationwide Military factions launched assaults within the Idlib and Aleppo countryside, in what they dubbed “Operation Deterrence of Aggression.”

Based on Al-Mayadeen, as associated by Syrian journalist Wassim Issa, convoys of militants, gear and ammunition entered from the Bab al-Salam crossing with Türkiye and headed to the combating fronts within the western Aleppo and southern Idlib countryside.

Al Mayadeen reported Tahrir al-Sham used new weapons and gear, together with Ukrainian drones, “reportedly acquired from Kiev’s intelligence companies.”

Since Thursday night, terrorists have been shelling Aleppo College dormitories, in addition to districts of western Aleppo. On Friday, terrorist shelling killed 4 college students and injured dozens.

By Friday, the Syrian Arab Military had re-taken many factors breached by terrorists, Al Mayadeen reported, noting that intense combating continues on two fronts in rural Aleppo, and that on the Idlib entrance, “armed teams are trying to open a brand new axis after their failure to advance additional towards the M5 worldwide freeway for all site visitors from the south to Aleppo, by Hama and SE Idlib.”

The Normal Command of the Military and Armed Forces issued the next assertion:

“Our armed forces have been in a position to inflict heavy losses on the attacking organizations, inflicting a whole lot of lifeless and wounded amongst their ranks, destroying dozens of automobiles and armored automobiles, and have been in a position to shoot down and destroy seventeen drones.

…In a associated context, terrorist organizations, by their platforms, publish deceptive info, information and video clips aimed toward terrorizing residents. The Normal Command of the Military and Armed Forces warns our fellow residents to not settle for this information and misinformation, and to obtain what’s issued by the nationwide media and its official platforms.”

As of late Friday, citing the Russian Coordination Middle in Syria, Al Mayadeen reported that greater than 600 terrorists had been killed. This replace went on to element Syrian and Russian airstrikes on terrorists within the northern Aleppo and Idlib countryside.

These assaults, apparently supported by Türkiye, the US, and Israel, mark the most recent effort to destabilize Syria and weaken the ‘Axis of Resistance’ towards Israel. It’s in fact notable that these assaults commenced simply after the so-called ceasefire between the Lebanese Resistance, Hezbollah, and Israel (which started violating the ceasefire virtually instantly, as Israel has completed with nearly each ceasefire previously).

One potential cause for Türkiye’s involvement could possibly be to stress Syrian President Bashar Assad into reconsidering his stance on normalization talks with Ankara. Assad beforehand rejected any such talks whereas Turkish forces stay in Syria, and in response to some analysts. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may have helped escalate army motion to coerce Assad to alter his thoughts.

One other motivation for the assault could possibly be to chop Lebanese Hezbollah off from provide strains in the course of the ceasefire with Israel. From Damascus, British journalist Vanessa Beeley wrote: “This assault has been spoken about and deliberate for for the reason that starting of the Israeli aggression towards Lebanon… Now Syria would be the goal to destroy weapons provide strains and manufacturing amenities that might rearm Hezbollah in the course of the ceasefire. There shall be makes an attempt to destroy the land bridge infrastructure that brings supplies from Iran, by Iraq and Syria to Lebanon. This contains important humanitarian aid provide strains. Syria is the beating coronary heart of the Resistance and have to be protected in any respect prices.”

Makes an attempt to resuscitate the Syrian ‘revolution’

Unsurprisingly, there are calls on social media for President Assad to be eliminated; the identical calls heard in the course of the Western-orchestrated media psyop which noticed ignorant individuals all over the world supporting a really bloody “revolution” in 2011.

It was by no means a revolution, and it was by no means (for Syrians) about Assad (who’s overwhelmingly supported). What sort of revolution destroys its personal tradition, heritage and civilians, and companions with the US and Israel, amongst others?

On one in all my 4 journeys to Aleppo in 2016 alone, in November, earlier than Aleppo was liberated from terrorist forces, the top of forensic medication at an area hospital, Dr. Zaher Hajo, instructed me that for the reason that occupation of Aleppo in 2012, 10,750 civilians had been killed by terrorists, 40% of whom have been ladies and kids.

On that very same go to, I met three distinguished Sunni leaders who, in response to the priest who launched us, have been thought-about ‘infidels’ by al-Nusra and firm as a result of they didn’t observe their distorted terrorist ideology. Certainly one of them, Dr. Kukeh stated: “Those that are killing the Sunnis are the identical who declare that they’re defending the Sunnis. The shells that hit us every day are despatched by them.”

Dr. Kukeh, who stated he named his oldest son after Hezbollah chief, Hassan Nasrallah, “as a result of I really like that man,” defined that in 2012 he was dwelling in jap Aleppo when terrorists started to occupy districts there. He was focused for assassination as a result of he didn’t agree with the terrorists’ ideology.

The Aleppo college dorms which have been focused not too long ago have been likewise routinely focused in 2016. On the time, they’d for 4 years been housing effectively over 10,000 internally displaced Syrians from areas of Aleppo and its countryside, together with from areas occupied by the terrorists.

In subsequent visits in 2017 and years after, I noticed the remnants of the terrorists’ occupation of jap areas of Aleppo (underground prisons with solitary confinement cells), took testimonies of Syrian civilians on life below terrorist rule, and later, noticed the town start to rebuild and flourish, with companies reopening, historic markets being restored, life bustling across the well-known citadel (in the course of the reign of the terrorists, strolling close to it meant virtually actually being sniped lifeless) and atop the citadel.

Town that Western and Gulf company media claimed “fell” when it was liberated from al-Qaeda, ISIS and their co-terrorists got here again to life below the rule of the Syrian authorities.

Present chaos: Aleppo occupied?

All through the combating, there have been conflicting experiences of terrorists taking elements of Aleppo.  As I wrote at the start, pictures and movies which appeared to indicate a terrorist presence in western Aleppo neighborhoods and even the town middle aren’t proof of terrorists having taken districts.

It isn’t tough for sleeper cell terrorists to pop up, take these pictures and movies, and go away. Time will present which of their claims are true and that are a part of psychological warfare to demoralize Syrians and switch them towards their military and even towards Russia.

Recall the Normal Command of the Military’s warning concerning misinformation. Making definitive declarations in regards to the situation of Aleppo and surrounding area, with out proof, is irresponsible and unhelpful. In a clickbait age the place everybody needs to be the primary to submit “BREAKING” adopted by some unverified soundbite, discerning the reality is sophisticated.

If the unthinkable occurs and elements of Aleppo are re-occupied by terrorists no completely different from and even together with ISIS, they are going to finally be defeated by Syria, Russia, and their allies, simply as they have been earlier than.
