The ongoing violence in Aleppo has reignited tensions in Syria, as rebel forces launch an offensive against President Assad’s regime. Led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and Turkish-backed factions, the assault aims to reclaim territory and protect civilians from ongoing airstrikes. With regional powers like Iran, Russia, and Turkey involved, the offensive risks further destabilising the Middle East. The situation continues to escalate, with devastating consequences for Syrian civilians.
