A blow to Assad from an unexpected place: Hezbollah turned its back.

The Hezbollah Movement, which has suffered significant losses in Israel's attacks on Lebanon, is not intending to send reinforcements to Syria to support the Bashar al-Assad regime.

On the day the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon came into effect, the Syrian National Army (SNA), led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), launched a large-scale operation towards Aleppo. The developments that occurred on November 28 were surprising for the world.

HEZBOLLAH TURNS ITS BACK ON ASSAD

After the SNA achieved significant gains in just five days, the Assad regime, which found itself in a difficult situation and was continuously retreating, sought help from its allies. Iran-aligned Shia militias entered Syria from Iraq to support Assad's forces, which were clashing with the opposition. However, Hezbollah, which has a strong presence in Syria, turned its back on the Assad regime. A senior source from Hezbollah, speaking to Reuters, stated that they have no intention of sending reinforcements to Syria to support Assad.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On November 28, clashes broke out between the Assad regime forces and anti-regime armed groups in the western countryside of Aleppo province in northern Syria. On the same day, anti-regime armed groups rapidly advanced from the western countryside of Aleppo towards the center, and from the second day of the clashes, they also captured numerous areas in the Idlib countryside. On November 29, the armed groups entered the city center of Aleppo and today have taken control of a large part of the center.
