War in Syria: rebels approaching Russian base, Assad arrives in Moscow

There has been a serious intensification of hostilities in Syria. For the first time in 5 years, the rebels launched a large-scale offensive against Assad’s army and the Russian contingent, as reported by The Jerusalem Post, UNN reports. Syrian rebels launched an attack on areas controlled by government forces, sparking clashes for a second day and seizing territory in western Aleppo. The reason for the attack, the rebels said, was the frequency of attacks on civilian targets from areas of Aleppo. On November 26, an attack occurred that killed three children and injured 14 civilians.

The offensive is aimed at the provincial capital, Aleppo. The city was considered a powerful industrial and cultural center in northern Syria before its destruction by Russian aircraft. The situation is apparently critical, since Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made an unscheduled visit to the Russian Federation, who is in Kazakhstan for the CSTO summit. Official Russian media do not report this from the Halab Today channel. While President Putin is away, it is unknown who Assad is meeting with.

Israel struck Damascus and a military site near Homs, killing one Syrian soldier and wounding seven. The attacks targeted the Kafr Sus area and a military installation, which caused material damage.
