The offensive against Aleppo initiated by Turkish-allied Islamists from Hayat Tahir Al-Sham (a re-branded Al Qaeda that has made common cause with ISIS) and the US-allied Syrian National Army is the consequence of a strategic plan between the Israelis and Turks, backed by the US, to cut off the supply route from Iran to Lebanon for Hezbollah, and threaten to destabilize/topple the Assad government, forcing Russia to divert resources from Ukraine to salvage their position in Syria. Ukraine has provided advisors to the anti-Assad militants on drone warfare. Israel has apparently extended its explosive pager/radio scheme into Syria as well, disrupting Syrian tactical command and control at a critical moment in the fighting.
Syria had largely demobilized, and Hezbollah had mostly returned to Lebanon. Iranian-backed Iraqi militias are ill prepared to contain this assault.
It is highly likely Aleppo will fall to the pro-Turkish Islamist forces. There will most likely be a concerted effort, led by Russia and Iran, to salvage the situation in Syria.
This will take time.
This offensive may threaten the ceasefire in Lebanon.
The biggest loser in all of this is Turkey and its President, Recep Erdogan.
This offensive could not have been carried out without close cooperation and coordination with Israel and the US.
Erdogan’s critical words against Israel have been exposed as empty rhetoric.
Erdogan has once again betrayed Russia.
And his support for Palestine has beed exposed as fraudulent in every way.
Russia and Iran will stabilize Syria.
This will take months.
Syria and its allies will destroy the Islamist stronghold in Idlib.
This will take years.
The Iran-Hezbollah supply line will be restored/maintained.
Israel will be defeated.
And the US will withdraw from Syria, probably in mid-2025.
And Turkey will continue to betray everyone it does business with, because Erdogan stands only for Turkey.

What a coincidence.
Just as a ceasefire begins in Lebanon, Al Qaeda (meaning Israel) spring back to life and launch a major offensive in Aleppo.
Israeli officials have openly admitted to working together with Al Qaeda to destabilize Syria. They want to destroy it bc it is Lebanon's logistical lifeline.

🚨🇸🇾 Update on Aleppo
The situation in Aleppo remains difficult—no illusions there. However, the reports coming from certain media outlets are highly exaggerated.
After speaking with trusted sources on the ground, it’s clear that some militant groups have infiltrated certain neighbourhoods and recorded themselves.
The Syrian military reinforcement en route to Aleppo is substantial, as confirmed by people travelling from Aleppo to Damascus. This indicates that the mission isn't just about recovering recent losses—it’s part of a broader offensive campaign.
These insights come directly from battlefront sources and along the M5 highway.

While documenting the recent Israeli aggression on al-Khiam, just three days after the ceasefire took effect, a Lebanese civilian came under direct fire from Israeli occupation soldiers. The man, who was filming, was shot on the spot.
Since Thursday, "Israel" has repeatedly violated the ceasefire agreement, targeting towns in South Lebanon, including Khiam, Taybeh, Rub al-Thalathin, Marjaayoun, and Aita al-Shaab.
Lebanon's National News Agency also reported that Israeli artillery shelled the hills near Hilta in the Hasbaya district, deliberately targeting civilians on the town's outskirts.
Additionally, an Israeli tank fired two shells at the outskirts of Kfar Chouba, while a Merkava tank struck the town of al-Wazzani.
Israeli reconnaissance aircraft also conducted surveillance over villages in the Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts.

Medical sources have reported that more than 70 Palestinian civilians were killed in two massacres committed by the Israeli occupation when airstrikes targeted residential buildings in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Israeli occupation forces carried out a massacre by targeting a residential building sheltering dozens of displaced Palestinians in Beit Lahia, resulting in the killing of 50 civilians, along with targeting another residential building, which killed more than 20 civilians today.
According to the spokesperson for Civil Defense, dozens of casualties are trapped under the rubble, and rescue teams are unable to reach them or recover their bodies due to the relentless Israeli attacks.

Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
This isn't a ceasefire, it's a smaller zone of operations:
In this regard, the Israeli occupation forces opened fire at a funeral in Khiam, pushing its tanks to the western side of the town.
The Israeli enemy also cut off olive trees and bulldozed roads in Kfar Kila in the context of imposing a new reality on the border region.
The Zionist violations have been accompanied by arrogant media publications which try to impose a new reality that contradicts with the Israeli military failure in face of Hezbollah fighters during the war.
The Lebanese government that signed the agreement is requested today to put an end to these violations before the enemy goes too far, which entails the Lebanese people to move again in face of the Zionist aggression.
This was only a good start:
Israeli media: 2,874 direct hits on Israeli buildings, facilities, and bases since onset of northern war with Hezbollah
Israeli media: Restoration of damages in the northern region is expected to take approximately 8 to 10 years
Nothing has changed in Syria, except the withdrawal of Saudi contributions. In one sense, it is just an execution center for all the "Al Qaeda" children; however, they basically own Idlib and, of course, are capable of barking at master's command. Al Qaeda is American. Americans and Israelis hate Syria and the Arabs; this isn't political or strategical. It's death in the course of armed robbery. That's the only function of those regimes.
Turkey is, in a sense, dealing with its own "Kurdish separatist problem" by attacking them in Syria and Iraq, and this problem is just another gift from the European map-makers, like, well, this whole scenario. In that sense, this whole thing is "working as intended" by those early 1900s experts.
I don't believe it will work, it will just cause a lot of damage.
In order for it to un-work, Iran, and to some extent Russia, have to project influence and possibly power. It has to degrade the temporary entity that occupies Palestine.
There is briefly less "emergency" for the citizens of Lebanon; otherwise, nothing has changed.

Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
I think this belongs on this thread. It's a long and detailed Russia Today article, which may be very helpful for anyone confused or uncertain about what's just started to happen in Syria and why.
The author (Murad Sadigzade, President of the Center for Middle East Studies, HSE University, Moscow) writes: "it is plausible that the current escalation in Idlib was initiated by Israel and the US." However, I'd suggest this may be highly likely rather than merely plausible. :)
Who is behind the new Syria war flare-up?
The interplay of external forces mirrors broader trends of rivalry among major powers, increasing the likelihood of a large-scale conflict.
In recent days, northern Syria has witnessed intense fighting, marking the most violent clashes since March 2020, when a ceasefire was brokered with the involvement of Russia and Turkey. On the morning of November 27, anti-government groups launched an offensive in the Aleppo and Idlib provinces. According to reports, the operation involves Islamist factions, including Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group banned in Russia, as well as armed opposition forces such as the US and Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army.
By the morning of November 28, opposition forces declared the capture of about a dozen settlements, including strategically significant areas such as Urm al-Sughra, Anjara, and Al-Houta, located west of Aleppo. Additionally, they claimed to have seized the 46th Brigade Base, the largest military base of the Syrian army. Rebel sources reported capturing five tanks, an infantry fighting vehicle, and a stockpile of missiles. On the same day, insurgents conducted a precision strike on a helicopter at the An-Nayrab airbase. Reports from Anadolu and CNN indicated that key positions, including Kafr Basma, Urum al-Kubra, and several strategic highlands, fell under rebel control.
On November 28, the group Al-Fateh al-Mubin announced the capture of Khan al-Assal, located just 7 kilometers from Aleppo, along with ten tanks. The rebels claimed that panic and declining morale were spreading among President Bashar Assad’s forces. Meanwhile, the offensive also advanced south and east of Idlib, a rebel stronghold since 2015. The rebels reported taking Dadikh and Kafr Batikh, near the vital M5 highway.
Over the course of three days, militants reportedly captured at least 70 settlements, spanning approximately 400 square kilometers across both provinces. By the evening of November 29, some participants in the operation even declared the capture of Aleppo, Syria’s second-largest city. They stated their mission was to “liberate the city from the cruelty and corruption of the criminal regime,” aiming to restore dignity and justice to its people.
Al-Fateh al-Mubin launched a Telegram channel to document the operation, named “Deterring Aggression.” The channel has been cited by leading international and regional media outlets. According to the militants, their offensive was a response to alleged intensified airstrikes by Russian and Syrian forces on civilian areas in southern Idlib, as well as anticipation of potential Syrian army attacks.
Why has the conflict gained new momentum?
Before the current crisis, the Idlib province had remained the last major stronghold of armed opposition to Assad’s government throughout the Syrian conflict. The region became a focal point of overlapping interests among various local and international powers, creating a volatile and tense environment.
In 2017, as part of the Astana peace process, Russia, Turkey, and Iran agreed to establish de-escalation zones, with Idlib designated as one of them. The purpose of these agreements was to reduce the intensity of hostilities and create conditions for a political resolution. However, the ceasefire was repeatedly violated, and military operations persisted, escalating the conflict. The growing influence of radical Islamist groups, such as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), complicated dialogue between the parties, as many of these organizations were excluded from negotiations and classified as terrorist groups.
Turkey, driven by strategic interests and concerns over a new wave of refugees, increased its military presence in Idlib. It supported certain opposition forces and established a network of observation posts, occasionally leading to direct confrontations with the Syrian army and straining relations with Russia. This added another layer of complexity to an already fraught situation, fueling further clashes.
The humanitarian situation in Idlib continued to deteriorate. Ongoing hostilities triggered a large-scale humanitarian crisis, displacing millions of people, many of whom became refugees in neighboring countries or were displaced internally. A lack of adequate humanitarian aid and worsening living conditions heightened tensions and eroded trust in authorities. This created fertile ground for radicalization, driving recruitment into armed groups.
Idlib’s strategic significance was also a key factor. The province’s location at the intersection of critical transport routes and its border with Turkey gave it both military and economic importance. Control over this territory became a priority for all parties involved, intensifying the struggle and hindering progress toward a peaceful resolution.
The radicalization of the opposition and the presence of extremist elements within its ranks further complicated prospects for peace. These groups had little interest in negotiations and sought to prolong armed conflict, undermining international efforts to stabilize the region. Simultaneously, internal challenges facing the Syrian government, such as economic difficulties, international sanctions, and domestic divisions, weakened its position. This likely prompted the government to pursue more aggressive military action to consolidate control and project strength.
Thus, the current escalation in Idlib stems from a complex interplay of geopolitical interests, internal divisions, opposition radicalization, and severe humanitarian issues. Resolving the crisis requires coordinated international efforts, including active dialogue involving all stakeholders, humanitarian initiatives to alleviate civilian suffering, and a political settlement that considers the interests of various groups and promotes sustainable peace. Without a willingness to compromise and collaborate, the conflict in Idlib risks further escalation, posing a threat to regional stability and international security.
Who is behind the escalation?
While many speculated that Turkey could be a beneficiary of the recent escalation – seeking to pressure Assad into normalizing relations between Ankara and Damascus –Turkey’s official stance remained ambiguous. Statements and comments from Turkish authorities were contradictory: on the one hand, Ankara appeared to provide undeniable support to Assad’s opponents; on the other, it seemed reluctant to take responsibility for the unfolding events and expressed clear frustration with the actions of the Idlib-based “opposition.”
Turkey faced a critical decision: either continue to support the outdated status quo, potentially harming both itself and the region, or, in line with its public declarations of a desire to restore ties with Damascus and its commitments under the Astana process, assist its partners – Russia and Iran – as well as neighboring Syria in resolving the situation in Idlib.
There are also suggestions that the current escalation could have been orchestrated by external actors such as Israel and the US. The flare-up began shortly after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah and a week following reports of Western long-range missiles being used in strikes deep within Russian territory, along with Russia’s retaliatory test of the Oreshnik missile system. It is possible that the US and Israel, leveraging the situation in Ukraine, tensions with Iran, and Ankara’s anti-Israel stance and refusal to join anti-Russian sanctions, instigated unrest in Syria to achieve several objectives.
One such objective might have been to deny Iran and its allies in the Levant a respite, opening a new “front” against Tehran and sowing discord between Tehran and Ankara. Additionally, it could have been aimed at increasing the strain on Russia’s Aerospace Forces supporting Damascus, thereby diverting Russian resources amid its involvement in Ukraine. The West may have sought to further weaken Russia’s position, possibly hoping to open a “second front” against Moscow with the expectation of achieving gains in Syria.
For Damascus, the escalation might have served as a pressure tactic to dissuade its support for Hezbollah and its involvement in the anti-Israel front. It may also have aimed to prevent normalization with Turkey and the formation of a unified anti-Kurdish (and thus anti-American) coalition involving Moscow, Tehran, Ankara, and Damascus east of the Euphrates.
As for Turkey, the situation could have been used to exert pressure by threatening a new wave of refugees, heightened security instability, and worsening economic conditions. This would complicate Ankara’s operations against Kurdish forces in Syria, hinder normalization with Damascus, and strain its relations with Russia and Iran.
Thus, it is plausible that the current escalation in Idlib was initiated by Israel and the US, aiming to further weaken Iran and create rifts in Russia-Turkey relations. This underscores the multilayered nature of the Syrian conflict, where external actors exploit regional tensions to advance their strategic interests. The situation highlights the need for clear political positions and coordinated actions by regional powers to address Syria’s challenges and ensure stability in the region.
The war in Idlib: A harbinger of potential global catastrophe
The escalation in Syria’s Idlib province transcends the bounds of a localized conflict, serving as a stark warning of global instability. The northwest of the country has become a battlefield where the interests of global powers converge, and the intensifying violence reflects the deep fractures in the current world order. The involvement of numerous external players pursuing their own agendas has turned the region into a microcosm of geopolitical contradictions, potentially foreshadowing a broader global crisis.
The resurgence of long-standing conflicts, such as Israel’s military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, amplifies tensions on the international stage. These seemingly dormant or controlled confrontations are reigniting with renewed intensity, posing threats to regional and global stability. The revival of these underscores the inability of existing mechanisms to effectively prevent escalation and address the underlying causes of discord.
Global tensions are nearing a critical tipping point, as many “frozen” conflicts begin to “bleed.” The old world order, built on principles and institutions shaped during the last century, is proving inadequate to meet the challenges of globalization, technological progress, and shifting power dynamics. International organizations and agreements frequently falter in the face of contemporary threats, whether terrorism, cybersecurity, or hybrid warfare.
Constructing a new world order requires a rethinking of existing structures and, perhaps, dismantling outdated approaches. This transition is inherently fraught with conflict, as the shift from the old to the new is rarely smooth. Competing powers and blocs are striving to safeguard their interests, heightening the risk of confrontation unless a common understanding and mutual trust can be established.
The situation in Idlib epitomizes this painful transitional phase. It highlights how regional conflicts can escalate into global crises if left unresolved. The interplay of external forces in Syria mirrors broader trends of rivalry and mistrust among major powers, further increasing the likelihood of a large-scale conflict.
In conclusion, the escalation in Idlib and other global hotspots serves as a warning that the world is on the brink of profound change. To avoid sliding into a global conflict, the international community must work collaboratively to establish a new, more resilient world order capable of addressing modern challenges. This requires dialogue, compromise, and a willingness to overcome old divisions for the sake of a shared future.

Attack on Syria (update)
amarynth
I’ll update further on this thread. This can be classified as meta-data. Even though I sorted out my sources yesterday already, it was necessary for another sort today. There is a reason. I have never seen so much hasbara; it was a wave across all communications channels. Channels and reporters that could be be taken as reliable on Gaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, the Houthi’s were all over the map today, because of this vile Hasbara.
A massive informational promotion to create psychological pressure is taking place and it is a clever promotion. It comes from Turks, Fake Journos, Trolls and grifters of all kinds. There is even a ‘masked man’ reporting. In this Fog of War day, much damage was done and the average reader and interested person was bombarded. Now who does hasbara best? You got it. Who has a dog in this race and hates Bashar al-Assad? The Arab outlets. Together it is the US-NATO version of Islam, ladies and gentlemen.
This attack on Syria was planned and the detail of it was planned and the mass of falsified information to confuse the Syrian population to the nth degree, was planned. No attack of this scale occurs without external backing and a calculated geopolitical motive. Keep it cool though as this is only another step in the larger omni-war. I expect that this escalation will only lead to enhanced coordination between Damascus, Tehran, and Hezbollah.
A short segue to the Lebanon / Israel supposed ceasefire: That ceasefire came into the mix specifically to give cover to the zionists and their handlers for the Syria adventure. The objective is to split the resistance factions and break their unity. It will not be successful. I may remind you that we have not seen the actual agreement yet. Some stabs at it was posted, but give me a ‘bloody’ break. Give me real information!
An example of the hasbara was that the Palestinian resistance factions have joined terrorist groups in Syria – completely false and fabricated. The very many names that the Rent-a-Jihadis go by, is part of the ‘mystique’. There is a Tower of ‘Babble’ among the Rent-a-Jihadis From Uzbeks, Uighurs, Turks, African languages and not a Syrian in sight. Ukrainian and Turkish field commanders are present in the ranks of Rent-a-Jihadis (Tahrir al-Shaam).
These outlets are not reliable for reporting on Syria: Al Jazeera, Reuters, Al Arabiya, Al Hadath, BBC, Fox, CNN, and Times. So let us sort the wheat from the chaff first.
The Syrian Defense Forces are The Syrian Arab Army, i.e, SAA. As we wait for the Russian MoD to confirm any military action, so we wait for the spokespeople of the SAA to confirm or reject issues. They post under: Syrian Ministry of Defense, usually as follows: Statement from the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces.
Here is their earlier statement:
Statement from the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces:
Our armed forces on the Aleppo and Idlib fronts continue to resist a large-scale attack launched by terrorist organizations, particularly the so-called Al-Nusra Front. These groups are employing heavy and medium weapons, drones, and a large number of foreign militants.
• Our forces have inflicted severe losses on the attackers, resulting in hundreds of dead and wounded, and have destroyed dozens of vehicles, armored units, and seventeen drones.
• Additional reinforcements, including equipment and personnel, are being deployed to all axes of engagement to counter violations and repel attacks.
• Several positions breached by terrorists in recent hours have been retaken, and combat operations will continue until the threat is fully neutralized.
Additionally, terrorist organizations are spreading false news and videos to instill fear among citizens. The General Command strongly warns against trusting or sharing such propaganda and urges citizens to rely only on official national media platforms for verified updates.
The second trustworthy source is the Russian Coordination Center in Syria: Their last two statements:
The Russian Air Force is supporting the Syrian Army in anti-terrorist operations in Aleppo and Idlib.
Over the past two days, more than 600 militants have been killed during operations in the rural areas of Aleppo and Idlib.
Fierce battles are happening and the Syrian and Russian warplane pilots are getting a workout. There is a plan of battle and I take that from understanding what the SAA forces are doing. It is certainly not a random mess. The difference from the previous Syrian War before the Russians moved in, is stark. (Some good Russian training!). They are organized, they are trained, they are disciplined and they are killing the Rent-a-Jihadist forces by hundreds. They are also doing maneuvers, like this morning, when they supposedly left certain areas and the Jihadists rejoiced, moved in, published that they have conquered the area, only to be shot to pieces. Stay-behind sleeper Jihadi cells are also a factor.
Aleppo City remains secure amid fabricated reports of an Israeli-led takeover. (An Israeli-led takeover? Who does hasbara best?). This is a feet on the ground report. Reports of an Israeli-led takeover of Aleppo and other regions are fabricated. The battles are ongoing across multiple fronts. According to a soldier from the 25th Brigade, stationed in New Aleppo, videos showing a supposed takeover were fabricated by terrorist sleeper cells already within the city. The 25th Brigade, led by General Saleh Al Abdullah, assures the Syrian people that the few infiltrating terrorists will either be killed or expelled.
It is clear that Syria was caught on the back foot and many questions are being asked. But for now, the temporary collapse in defense was a short-lived, and by everything that I can see, the situation is now under control.
No links as massive crawlers are running searching for ‘the wrong links’ and massive botnets attack ‘the wrong links’.
I promised an update at the end of this day (my day). It is déjà vu and those that passionately followed the Syrian war will recognize it.
Fog of war. This is a small example of what is being reported and we cannot check the veracity of even a little bit of it.
Aleppo Under Lockdown:
All land and air entrances to Aleppo are now closed to civilian traffic and are being secured by the Syrian Armed Forces. Airport is closed, and all flights have been canceled as military operations intensify in the region. – This is accurate.
Syrian sources: Russian SU-34 bombers began operating about 20 minutes ago. A bank of targets for terrorists will be destroyed in conjunction with targeting their movements in the areas they have infiltrated. – This cannot be confirmed now.
Reports indicate that 3 brigades of the Iraqi Army and 2 brigades of the Hashd al-Shaabi have been deployed along the Syrian-Iraq border, signaling a significant uptick in military activity in the region. Additionally, Syrian media reports that a squadron of Russian strike fighters is expected to enter Syria, likely to support ongoing operations in Aleppo and Idlib. – This cannot be confirmed
In parallel, forces affiliated with the IRGC (Iran), including the army of Imam Husayn (A), Fatemiyoun military advisers, and local Syrian Shia defense forces, are reportedly advancing from eastern Syria near the Iraqi border towards Aleppo. – Although rumors abounded all through this day that Iraqi soldiers are mobilizing, this cannot be confirmed.
The Syrian rebel factions ask Russia to stop bombing them, and say they want good relations with Russia – Yeah right
Kremlin: Türkiye violated the Astana and Sochi agreements, and Damascus has the full right to restore security in Aleppo using all types of weapons and methods, and urgently – There is no Kremlin comment of this nature.
And if that is not enough, let me give you an example of what is happening now in the information space. I’ll use myself and AHH. He reported a few things in the comments. My sources say exactly the opposite. This is what is meant by Fog of War. I am only too happy that this can be illustrated.
What this means to me, is that nobody is really qualified to understand the scope of what is happening now. This is what it looked like in 2011.
The only real issue here, is that we have proxy war number 3 raging hot. Everyone on the side of a free world is trying their best, yet, hasbara reigns still at this moment. In the meantime, I got hold of the israeli/Lebanon peace agreement (and its side letter of poison) and will post that up. I have been very suspicious about that, and now my suspicions have a basis. How anyone could have signed that is a mystery.
Please know that we are probably viewing the First BRICS war as an extension of the war in the Middle East-South Asia.
