Rebels with the group Hay’et Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have seized control of large parts of Aleppo, one of Syria’s largest cities, after a surprise offensive this week.
The renewed fighting in Aleppo marks a new phase in Syria’s long-running civil war, which began in 2011 during the Arab Spring protests.
The forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had previously held Aleppo, with the support of allies in Iran, Russia and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Russia has responded to the rebel offensive with air strikes, though its military resources are expected to be stretched thin due to its continuing war in Ukraine.
