'They took advantage of Israel’s war with Hezbollah and they have seen the Iranian presence is weaker,' says analyst
'They took advantage of Israel’s war with Hezbollah and they have seen the Iranian presence is weaker,' says analystOpposition factions launched the operation, dubbed “Deterrence of Aggression”, early on Wednesday, piercing government lines in the north-west of the country.The rebels had taken control of 15 villages by Thursday, according to a spokesperson.
The Syrian army said it was confronting the insurgency with the help of allies, amid reports of casualties from Russian air strikes. Ghassan Ibrahim, a Syrian-British journalist and founder of the Global Arab Network news outlet, said rebels could reach Aleppo “in a matter of days”. “Even if the regime is entrenched in power, It’s quite clear that it remains vulnerable and over-stretched across a number of fronts,” he said. “Damascus still doesn’t have the capabilities to maintain firm control over the entire country and is particularly vulnerable in the north-west.”
