Russian-backed troops have lost control of a key Syrian city
Syrian opposition forces entered Syria's second largest city, Aleppo, for the first time in eight years. The fighting on the approaches to the city lasted about two days. The Associated Press reports this.
The SkyNews Arabia TV channel clarifies that fighters from the Islamic group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham have entered Aleppo. This is the first attack by opposition forces on the city, which has been under government control since 2016. Eight years ago, the rebels were driven out of Aleppo by Syrian troops backed by troops from Russia and Iran.

Reuters claims that Russian and Syrian warplanes are striking regions in northwestern Syria that are under the control of rebel groups. The opposition said their military campaign was a response to increased attacks on southern Idlib by Syrian and Russian air forces.
Meanwhile, armed groups opposed to the regime of current President Bashar al-Assad are gradually seizing more and more territory. The Turkish Anadolu Agency reported that as of the morning of November 29, opposition forces had taken control of an area of 550 square kilometers on the front lines in Idlib and Aleppo. Over three days of fighting, armed rebels occupied a total of 70 towns and villages.
According to Anadolu, armed groups seized the Scientific Research Center located in one of the suburbs of Aleppo. It is alleged that chemical weapons are produced here. It is also known about the death of General Kiumars Pourhashemi of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Iranian served in Syria as a senior military adviser.

“The goal of the operation is to liberate our occupied territories from the criminal regime and Iranian militias, and to create a safe environment for the return of displaced people to their cities and towns,” their spokesman Hassan Abdulghani explained the rebels’ actions.
Iran and Russia have been sending soldiers to Syria for more than a decade (including troops from the Wagner private military company) and supplying weapons to government forces to help Bashar al-Assad remain in power. In turn, the rebel groups were supported by Türkiye. The Iranian-backed Hezbollah group was one of the main forces helping the Syrian army, but it became embroiled in a war with Israel in southern Lebanon.
