Once again there is huge turmoil in the Syrian city of Aleppo. The rebel group led by the Islamic organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has reached the center of the city and captured many areas. After this, the Syrian administration closed Aleppo airport and all roads connected to the city on Saturday. After driving rebels from Aleppo nearly a decade ago, President Bashar al-Assad and his allies had established control over the city, but this week rebels suddenly returned and pushed deep into the city. The attack, which started on Wednesday, engulfed many areas of Aleppo by Friday.
Army’s ‘safe return’ order
According to military sources, the army has been ordered to safely withdraw from the areas where the rebels have reached. Russia, a strong ally of Assad, has promised additional military aid to Syria to stop the rebels. It is being said that heavy weapons and military equipment will be delivered in the next 72 hours.
Local people and the intentions of the rebels
This crisis has brought an atmosphere of fear and insecurity for the local people. The rebels launched this attack in response to Russian and Syrian airstrikes in Idlib in recent weeks. He says that this operation is also to stop possible attacks by the Syrian Army. According to sources, Türkiye, which supports these rebels, has indirectly approved this attack. However, Turkey has publicly said not to create more instability in the region. Aleppo, which was once the cultural and economic capital of Syria, has now once again become a battlefield. This situation is worrying not only for Syria, but for the entire Middle East.
