Syrian Islamist rebels have launched one of their biggest offensive against President Bashar al-Assad's forces in years, sweeping through government-held towns before taking control of "half of the city of Aleppo". This is the first major challenge to President Assad and his allies-- Russia and Iran-- in four years. Rebels, led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), advanced from the remaining Syrian opposition-held region of Idlib, where front lines have been largely stagnant since Russia and Turkey, which backed the rebels, agreed to a ceasefire in 2020.
