The situation in Syria is spiraling: In the most simple terms, we are seeing Erdogan-backed Sunni jihadists routing Khamenei and Putin-backed Assad loyalists.
Islamic jihad group unleashed its biggest military incursion against Syrian regime forces since 2020 in the northwest of the war-ravaged Syrian Arab Republic, triggering Russian and Syrian warplanes on Thursday to bomb the insurgent offensive.
There are no good guys here. Savage vs savage.

The Syrian military said on Saturday that rebels had entered large parts of Aleppo city during an offensive in which dozens of soldiers had been killed, forcing the army to redeploy – the biggest challenge to President Bashar al-Assad in years.
The surprise attack led by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has jolted the frontlines of the Syrian civil war that have largely been frozen since 2020, reviving fighting in a corner of the fractured country near the Turkish border. The army said it was preparing a counteroffensive to restore state authority.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any wilder, and when you thought that the pager operation in Lebanon was phenomenal, reports across Syria state that dozens, maybe even hundreds, of pagers and walkie talkies of the Assad Syrian army have mysteriously started exploding.… pic.twitter.com/yDS2js1QD6

A rebel commander said a fall in Iran-backed manpower created an opening this week’s assault. Iran’s ally Hezbollah has suffered big losses to Israel.
Syrian rebels opposed to President Bashar al-Assad said on Friday they had reached the heart of the northern city of Aleppo, after a surprise sweep through government-held towns and nearly a decade after having been forced out of the city.
The opposition fighters, led by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, launched an incursion on Wednesday into a dozen towns and villages in the northern province of Aleppo, which was controlled by Assad’s government, backed by both Iran and Russia.
They made quick progress and by late Friday. An operations room representing the offensive said rebels were sweeping through various neighborhoods of the city.

I don't give two shits about what's going on in the hellhole called Syria.
As far as I am concerned, they're savages fighting savages.
It just shows how Israel is the only free and advanced country in the Middle East by far, with a civilized and unparalleled population.

Russia and Syria bomb Syrian Islamist rebels after surprise incursion
Syrian dictator Assad could use ‘chemical weapons’ against rebels, says ex-US intel expert
By Benjamin Weinthal, Fox News, November 28, 2024:
JERUSALEM – A radical Islamist group unleashed its biggest military incursion against Syrian regime forces since 2020 in the northwest of the war-ravaged Syrian Arab Republic, triggering Russian and Syrian warplanes on Thursday to bomb the insurgent offensive.
Rebels led by the U.S-designated Islamist terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham stormed a dozen towns and villages in northwest Aleppo province, which is controlled by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces.
The Syrian Islamist offensive started on the same day that Assad’s ally, the Lebanese-based terrorist organization, Hezbollah, reached a ceasefire agreement with Israel to end over 14 months of warfare.
The battle unfolding in Syria involves a motley crew of U.S.-classified state-sponsors of terrorism — Assad’s regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran — against a Turkey-backed Islamist terrorist movement. Vladimir Putin’s Russian regime has faced accusations of war crimes during its invasion of Ukraine.
Former U.S. defense intel officer Rebekah Koffler, who is an expert on Putin, told Fox News Digital, “This is classic Putin’s Playbook, what’s going on in Syria, on Thanksgiving Day. He is doing what’s called lateral escalation in Syria, in response to Biden’s giving authorization to [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky to use U.S. ATACMs to strike deep into Russia, and Zelensky taking Biden up on his offer. Russia and the United States are on the opposite sides of the war in Syria. So Putin is ratcheting up support of Assad, which is counter to U.S. policy, signaling to Biden that he will be countering U.S. interests across multiple geographic areas.”

Koffler added, “Putin is signaling pressure on Biden to withdraw authorization from Zelensky to use ATACMs against Russia. The doctrine is ‘escalate to de-escalate.’ With the recent strike of hypersonic missile Oreshnik on Ukraine, Putin climbed several rungs on the escalation ladder. With Russian air forces joining Syrian airfare bombing rebel-held northwestern Syria, he is also moving laterally on the escalation ladder, to out escalate the United States, unbalance Biden, and create as much negotiating leverage on Ukraine for himself before President Trump begins his second term. I would not be surprised if Assad strikes the rebel-held territories with chemical weapons again.”
Alex Grinberg, an Israeli expert on Russia, told Fox News Digital that the rest of Assad’s army cannot fight against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham without Russian air power.
He said this is “usually what the Russians do” in Syria.
Iranian regime-controlled state media said that Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Kioumars Pourhashemi was killed in Aleppo during the incursion. Pourhashemi was a senior IRGC military adviser in Syria.
