Syrian rebels took Palmyra, which Russia took twice

Syrian rebels, supported by Turkey, the United States and other NATO countries, have launched military operations against government forces in Palmyra. Anadolu reports this. They have seized control of the territory, moving from the al-Tanf military base towards the Jordanian-Iraqi border and are fighting in the south of Palmyra.

Al Jazeera reports that Bashar al-Assad's army is withdrawing troops from Palmyra, Sukhna and Furclus in Homs province. They also began to withdraw from the T-4 airbase east of Palmyra. The rebels have already seized a weapons depot, including a large Syrian army missile and artillery depot. Russian aviation is trying to stop the enemy's advance in Homs. The Syrian Air Force al-Tala airbase also came under rebel control in Suwayda.

Rebel forces say they have taken control of the town of Quneitra, near the Israeli border. The rebel command claims that they have approached the Syrian capital Damascus within 20 km and have begun encircling the city. Let us recall that in May 2015, Palmyra was captured by Islamic State terrorists.

In March 2016, Assad's army, the Russian army and the Wagner PMC liberated the city from ISIS. ISIS recaptured Palmyra in December 2016, but Russian special forces and air forces drove the terrorists out of the city again in March 2017.

On December 7, Syrian rebels took control of the city of Daraa.
