What Are Terrorists In Syria Trying To Achieve?

For the past few days, foreign-backed terrorists in Syria’s northwest have been attacking Syrian army positions in the Aleppo and Idlib countryside, and shelling civilian districts of Aleppo. While regional media have been giving updates on these attacks and counterattacks by Syria and Russia, what is less clear is what is happening in Aleppo itself. Terrorist-aligned media claim Tahrir al-Sham (al-Qaeda re-branded) and allied terrorists have taken numerous western districts and even the city center. But their proof – short videos showing terrorists in various areas they claim to control – was countered by videos of Syrians walking in key districts, saying things are calm. More on this later.

Terrorist Groups Take Control Over Key Areas In Northwestern Syria

For the past several days, the official Syrian Armed Forces (Syrian Arab Army-SAA) have been engaged in fierce battles with a number of terrorist groups across northwestern Syria. The groups appear to have captured Aleppo in addition to dozens of villages, towns, and military sites in the northwestern Syrian governorates of Aleppo and Idlib after engaging in fierce clashes with the official Syrian Armed Forces and allied forces since Wednesday, November 28. The groups that have reportedly used medium and heavy weapons also have disrupted the key international highway connecting Aleppo with the Syrian capital Damascus, and seized control of the junction.
