Syrian Troops Supported by Russia Eliminate Over 400 Militants in Recent Strikes

The Syrian General Command announced that more than 400 militants, including foreign mercenaries, were killed in coordinated strikes conducted by Syrian forces with the assistance of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

The precision attacks targeted militants positions and supply routes in the Aleppo and Idlib provinces.

Syrian forces destroyed five headquarters and seven ammunition and drone depots during the operation. The strikes followed a large-scale offensive launched by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a militant group, which breached a de-escalation agreement and captured key areas, including the city of Aleppo and its international airport, for the first time since 2011.

The militants attempted further advances into Hama province and Kurdish-controlled territories in Tel Rifaat. However, the Syrian army countered the offensive, halting their progress in Hama and regaining control of several settlements.

Syrian Rebels Capture Assad's Palace in Aleppo Regime Loses City Control for First Time Since 2011

Syrian rebels announced on Sunday that they had captured President Bashar Assad's palace in Aleppo, a dramatic milestone in the civil war that has raged since 2011. This marks the first time Assad’s regime has lost control of Syria’s second-largest city, a blow to its authority.

Grainy footage released by the insurgents revealed jihadist fighters inside the palace, navigating dark hallways and ascending its marble staircase.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed that Aleppo is now mostly under rebel control, with only a few Kurdish-held neighborhoods remaining in Assad's grasp.
