Syrian Rebels Take Control Over Most of Aleppo City

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in Britain says that jihadist rebels have taken control of the majority of Aleppo City. Furthermore, they assert that armed insurgents caused the death of four students when they fired missiles at a university in the middle of Aleppo city.

The insurgents did surprise attack which they have managed to do this week. The conflict has remained unchanged for many years and a few villages were able to escape since it moved out of the city leaving everything inside it in ruins.

The Skirmish Over Aleppo In spite of there being cessation of hostilities for almost a year, an unexpected offensive launched by Syrian rebels and their allies has penetrated Aleppo city for the very first time since 2016. The push describes the largest shift in relations between opposition factions and the regime run by president Bashar al-Assad, who, with some assistance from Russia and Iran, has virtually been in charge.

In the course of the fighting, the rebels’ main gains included capturing a military academy and a school, both of which were located near Aleppo, thereby cutting off any form of supplies from reaching the garrisons within the lovely city. Thousands Displaced After Rebels Attacks Aleppo City They then went ahead and captured the Umayyad Mosque’s minaret, which stood at a staggering 1,000 years old and had been the city’s supporters of the regime’s stronghold. The White Helmets, the all-volunteer civil organization dedicated to providing rescue services in times of crisis, claimed that the attack has displaced millions of civilians.

Rebels in the region are led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a jihadist group composed of remnants of Al-Qaeda’s Syria cell as well as some other moderate democratically inclined groups that had been funded by the U.S. Members of Turkey and Iran’s militias have also joined. The Aleppo and Idlib regions experienced an increase in the number of captured towns previously held by the jihadists and their allies during the conflict, as reported by the British-based Syrian Observational War and Human Rights monitor.

Assads’s military did not put up much of the defense the people of the encircled city have described them to be, and most of the public and private institutions were said to have been closed down. The battered regime suffered a further blow as the advanced rebels totally severed the highway connecting the capital Syrian city with the Aleppo while at the same time secured the all important M5-M4 junction which lay just north of Latakia.

The Umayyad Mosque: The Battle for its Control

The Battle brought into Aleppo will not be easily regarded as any other battle, as it has been an enormous game changing event for the 13 year long Syrian conflict. It was the fiercest clash ever witnessed since the beginning of the civil war, which was largely fought between President Bashar al-Assad and the reformed opposition forces which were supported by IRAN and rather surprising RUSSIA.

The attack came eight years after the campaign aided by the Soviet Union east of assad prison where rebels were slowly cleared of the state while hezbollah forces and Russia backed Syria regime forces stepped in. It led to the complete blockade of the region and triggered the already eight year long conflict further that has resulted in millions of displaced persons and even more chaos in the area as a whole.

According to rebels, the Umayyad Mosque that is located a little northwest from the city center has been under their control recently. The unusually quiet signs everywhere have led to suspicions, but civilians have also reported some fighting and gunfire. However, no government or army forces were seen recapturing any areas. In addition, a spokesperson for the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, also said that the rebels have occupied a number of city council offices, police stations and even intelligence offices, but the military does not endorse that.

However, Saturday was much quieter in Aleppo as some of the city’s local inhabitants stayed in their houses. However, the rebel group spokesman confirmed the rumors that some teachers, students and shop vendors all went on a silent protest and businesses were closed. However, van trucks used by the militants to assist combat operations were able to get bread. Aleppo’s spokesman urged everyone to “take part in the fight and assist in the northern provinces’ military operations.” Other residents expressed support for the soldiers by waving banners and hugging them.

The Battle for the Citadel

Led by jihadists from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the offensive by rebels against the government is the most effective within a span of several years. the attack has dealt a big blow to the president’s Russian and Iranian sponsors.

The Syrian military believes that it has not lost any ground in the fight while regular bombardment on the city is carried on. An advancing opposition force including a separate component consisting of United States backed Kurdish-led fighters claimed that they were in control of large parts of Aleppo but stated that they have captured the objective completely instead.

According to a monitoring group and activists, White Helmets, an organization that strives to assist civilians caught up in conflict, atleast 15 civilians were killed and around 36 were injured. Mattresses made at War production people received a outpouring of devastation and destruction creating a louder noise through fractured buildings.

In response to their fighters being against the edge of fire without uniformity, air strikes have greatly countered them as the army stated. The militia along with foreign liaisons actively supports the rebels attempting to launch an offensive on abroad, showcasing the sonorous effect of sheer reinforcement.

An Ortega reported on the civil war: Glancing at the rebels over the air, they appeared in many of the major targets after major neighborhoods lost their prime locations including central Aleppo, when authorities held control over almost every aspect of the revolting districts by Saturday. The streets which are still filled will an active campaign for one fight and one goal of taking as many of the opposition targets, were bombarded with visual comprehension of anti Assad rebels.

The Siege of the Ancient City

The struggle for control of Aleppo has developed given that jihadists captured its last strongholds. Nonetheless, the capture of the remaining parts of Aleppo was likely to be extremely difficult as well. While declaring that they were not committing to unconditional surrender, the Russian leaders welcomed the rebuilding of Aleppo and other projects.

This breach took place exactly one week ago. Everything began with the conquest of towns and villages, where people were forced to leave their places of living, according to a war monitor and rebels. Taking into account the situation, many of the people would have fled in suspended, demolished structures and buildings, no longer fit for human habitation.

As reported by state media, a project struck a university shelter for students in Aleppo’s advanced drive, resulting in 4 fatalities. The fatalities included the two students that were sheltered in the university._insur And Britain-based Syrian observatory for human rights rebels on the media reported that rebels shot a munitions depot containing Syrian security forces which led to an explosion.

However, it was not clear whether the regime would retaliate with an all out offensive against the insurans who were getting support from Hezbollah militia in Iran and the Russian backed Hezbollah militia. Bombing campaigns were witnessed in several suburbs and outskirts of the cities where the civil strife was most profound.

The advancements made by the allied rebels alongside the Kurdish-led forces raised threats of the reconstruction of years of brutal fights within a once commercial city of the nation. A large share of people living within the towns still say that they greatly dread being overrun by a confusing array of rebel groups since that would also mean more airstrikes. The foreign minister of Iran posted on Telegram Saturday that he talked over the phone with his Syrian counterpart about the situation and said the group expressed serious concern and emphasized the need to coordinate their actions.
