Live coverage of the dramatic developments in Syria, where rebel forces have launched their most significant offensive in years, capturing most of Aleppo city. The surprise attack, initiated by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied factions, began on Wednesday and rapidly overwhelmed government positions. Syrian military forces offered minimal resistance, with many officials reportedly abandoning the city center. The rebels have seized strategic locations, including the historic Aleppo citadel, marking a major setback for President Bashar al-Assad's regime. Russian and Syrian air forces have responded with airstrikes, attempting to disrupt rebel supply lines. This offensive represents the most intense escalation in the Syrian civil war since 2016, potentially reshaping the conflict's dynamics in the region.
