Aleppo becomes a battleground once again as jihadist insurgents launch a massive offensive, marking the deadliest clashes in northern Syria since 2020. The surge led to Russia replacing Sergei Kisel, the general in charge of its Syrian operations, following heavy criticism of his leadership. As...
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin are at odds over the escalating conflict in Syria. Erdogan has issued a bold statement predicting victory for Syrian rebels, including jihadist factions, against the Russian-backed government of Bashar al-Assad. The comments come amid renewed violence in key regions such as Idlib, Aleppo, and Homs, where Russian airstrikes and Assad's forces are battling rebel offensives.
Erdogan accused Moscow of fueling the crisis by supporting Assad's regime, while reaffirming Turkey’s commitment to protecting Syria’s territorial integrity and addressing the “legitimate demands” of the opposition. The remarks have heightened tensions between Ankara and Moscow, both of which have vested interests in the Syrian war.

Iraqi fighters, backed by Iran, have crossed into Syria to join forces with Syrian and Russian military units in a fight against Turkey-backed jihadist rebels. The deployment comes after the jihadists seized Aleppo, marking a significant blow to the Syrian government's control. These reinforcements, primarily from Iraq's Badr and Nujabaa groups, are expected to focus on defending key Shiite shrines and supporting Assad’s forces on the frontlines.
However, Lebanon's Hezbollah, a key ally of Syria and Iran, has decided to stay out of this latest conflict. Despite Hezbollah's earlier role in supporting Syrian forces, particularly in the fight against rebels, it is not ready to commit forces in the current escalation, reportedly due to the strain from its ongoing war with Israel.

The Syrian military, supported by Russian allies, has launched a devastating offensive against Takfiri militants in the northern regions of Hama, Aleppo, and Idlib, delivering a crushing blow to terrorist networks. The operation resulted in the elimination of approximately 320 jihadists, including top leaders of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, and the destruction of 12 terrorist bases and ammunition depots. In a significant development, Syrian forces successfully retook the strategic highway linking Mahardeh and Suqaylabiyah near Hama, alongside surrounding towns and villages. The offensive comes as a response to the escalation of militant activity, signaling a major victory for Damascus in its ongoing counterterrorism efforts.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged that Ukraine's army lacks the strength to fully recapture territories lost to Russia since 2014, including Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye. In a recent interview, Zelensky emphasized the need for diplomacy, stating that Ukraine cannot achieve its territorial goals through military means alone. He also highlighted that any diplomatic solution would only be possible when Ukraine is strong enough to prevent further Russian offensives. Despite this, Zelensky remains firm in his stance that Ukraine will not capitulate, signaling that NATO membership remains a key objective in negotiations.
