#Syria - Russian jets hit back at rebels as hundreds flee Aleppo | Middle East conflict: Sky News

2024 November 2024

The Syrian army has withdrawn from the city of Aleppo after a lightning offensive by rebels. The military said it was preparing a counteroffensive following sweeping gains by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al Sham. Groups opposed to Bashar al Assad's regime were forced out of the city in 2016 during the country's brutal civil war. Iran-backed Hezbollah and Russia were key players in restoring Assad's power to much of the country. However, Hezbollah's resources have been degraded by a war with Israel, while Russia is embroiled in a conflict with Ukraine.
