A large force of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) reached on November 30 the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, joining the remaining forces of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) as militants led by al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
The militants stormed the western parts of the city and managed to reach its center late on November 29, just two days after launching a large-scale offensive against the SAA.
The SDF, which is backed by the United States, rushed thousands of heavily armed fighters from its areas of control in the eastern Aleppo governorate, through the government-held towns of Deir Haif, to Aleppo International Airport then to the Kurdish-held district of Sheikh Maqsoud in the city and to the town of Tel Rifaat in the northern countryside of the governorate.
It is unclear yet if the force arrived to help the SAA launch a counter-attack, or just to evacuate remaining Kurdish fighters from the city and its northern countryside.
The bold move was clearly coordinated with the Syrian government. It remains unclear if the U.S.-led coalition played any role in the agreement.
While HTS and its allies have not advanced much inside Aleppo since last night, the militants and others from the Syrian National Army made several gains in the northern Aleppo countryside in the morning, capturing the towns of Tadef, Toman, Abu Taltal, al-Shumawiya, Anadan, Hareitan, Kafr Hamra, and Hayyan.
The assault in the northern Aleppo countryside was launched from the direction of the Greater Idlib region, as well as from Turkish-occupied areas in northern Aleppo.
At least 155 militants of HTS, 28 others from Turkey-backed factions and some 79 Syrian troops have been killed since the start of the offensive in Aleppo and neighboring Idlib on November 27, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based pro-opposition monitoring group.

that is pretty sh*tty situation for the syrian army now. the sdf can not be trusted either.
i can’t believe this shit. very funny. the syrain arab army will be saved by the the u.s-led coalition now?
i posted a 3k-word analysis on patreon about [why trump “cannot” end the ukraine war]. those who think he can or will are in for a surprise. you can find the post on patreon. it’s free for all. once on patreon, search for the page “islamic jihad” to find the post. i post geopolitical analysis daily for those who want to read ojective analysis, not propaganda.
the little dwarf from kviv is already talking about ceasefire even before trump enters the white house. no need to pay money for a terrorist group to read some crap you wrote. stop advertising your crap here. go beg israhell to give you money to your terrorist organisation
the 10 reasons in a nutshell
1. the pentagon wonn’t allow it. ukraine is weakening a great military adversary. the pentagon defied trump twice during his first adminstration.
2. allied republican and democrat politicians will frustrate any efforts by trump to end the war. remember how republican mike johnson facilitated the largest aid to ukraine despite trump’s vehement opposition.
3. the u.s. intelligence community won’t let that happen before russia is sufficiently weakened militarily. they’ve been working for decades to break up russia. the ukraine war presents a rare opportunity to achieve that with minimal risks.
4. the military industrial complex is making hundreds of billions from weapons sales due the war frightening european countries to stockpile arms. they won’t let trump stop this easily. they’ve got people in the pentagon and the u.s. congress.
5. european countries will also push back. although they want the war to end due to the pressure of refugees and spillover possibilities, they also don’t want russia walking away with any territorial rewards.
6. the weapons caches. you can bet your last buck there are sufficient weapons caches in europe earmarked for ukraine for kyiv to fight for the next 4 years without new u.s. supplies. the dems made sure of that. just research recent u.s. efforts to store weapons in europe.
7. limitations on missile use was largely lifted. why would ukraine agree to a ceasefire when it now has the freedom to cause a lot more damage to russia? this limitation already caused some serious losses for russia the past few days.
8. the ukraine government. kyiv isn’t going to cede territory without nato membership. it already has enough weapons in europe and european money to continue the fight.
i like turd analysis—425 al nusra turds eliminated past 24 hours—eradicted from 6 villages
i’m surprised the russians, iranians, and assad were seemingly caught offguard. the quick collapse of assad’s forces in allepo suggests they are currently in poor shape. turkiye probably greenlighted or at least didn’t prevent this assaut despite the ceasefire. it’s unlikely that turkiye din’t know about it in advance. having hosted millions of refugees for many years, tried unsuccessfully to talk to assad, turkiye might have decide to turn up the heat.
yes they were busy fighting israhell which is an ally to turkey and its terrorist goones. so much for those so called “sunni” muslims. they backstab other muslims instead of helping their brothers in gaza. but what can you expect from israhell lovers?
caught off guard somehow again. just like when “isis” snuck into palmyra they were caught off guard.
my left-hand puppet and my right-hand puppet will fight each other while my israli friend makes final moves.
the us were behind this invasion from al qaeda so had the sdf organised to rush in to take control of what they could evicting the saa. wouldn’t be surprised if they attack al qaeda so they keep aleppo . israel/us plan to take control of syria.
we are obese autistic morons—genetically inferior autism increase by 1000% in 5 decades
the syrian military is clear the weakest link in the resistance against fakesrael, that’s why nato/fakesrael/and gulf arabs keep attacking them.
kurdio coming to help 😂😂😂 let them. who’s gonna help them?
isis will come soon from deir ez zor too😂😂😂
sure we kurds and assad may have our difference but i would rather see assad as a neighbor than hts or t*rkish backed terrorists. there is a huge population of kurds in aleppo. it is in our both interest to let the city not fall. time to set our differences aside and kick out those extremist scum, like we did in the past.
agree…..i am no fan of sdf for selling out to americans. but sdf are natural partners with syrian govrnment. not america. not turkey.

looks like a car race in philadelphia… the guys meet up to race and film themselves doing it. there are also hillbillies with their guns mounted on their trucks for duck hunting. it will definitely be a nice racing weekend if no one is shooting.
just imagine, this is what ukrainians are wasting their energy on. fighting in syria. it only proves that ukraine needs to be totally dismembered and partitioned up. i wouldn’t be surprised if the trump adiminstration is working with erdogan behind the scenes with this
and as usual, russia is full of shit and just letting it happen.
putin is a bitch of the antichrist.
