Rebels, led by Hayat Tahrir al Sham, launched a surprise attack and seized most of Aleppo, Syria’s second-largest city. The offensive, which began on Wednesday, has caused widespread destruction, with at least 327 people killed. Syrian and Russian jets have carried out airstrikes on rebel positions, but civilians have been caught in the crossfire, with 12 killed at a hospital. President Bashar al Assad vowed to defeat the rebels, claiming Syria will protect its stability. Thousands have been displaced, and the situation remains tense, raising concerns over the war’s intensifying violence.
