WHAT HAPPENED?

On November 27, clashes had begun between Assad regime forces and anti-regime armed groups in the western countryside of Aleppo province in northern Syria. On November 28, anti-regime armed groups rapidly advanced from the western countryside of Aleppo towards the center, capturing a large part of the center by November 30.

On November 30, armed groups took control of the Khan Shaykhun district, establishing dominance throughout Idlib. They are also continuing their advance by engaging in clashes in Hama province. In the Operation Dawn of Freedom launched by the Syrian National Army against the terrorist organization PKK/YPG in the rural areas of Aleppo on December 1, the district center of Tal Rifaat was liberated from terrorism. Meanwhile, many civilians lost their lives in airstrikes carried out by Russia and the regime under the pretext of intervening against anti-regime groups in Idlib and Aleppo.
