The Syrian Army released an official statement outlining the current conditions in Aleppo and Idlib

The General Command of the Syrian Army has released a statement outlining the current developments in Aleppo and Idlib, where intense terrorist attacks are ongoing. According to the statement, Syrian forces are engaged in fierce clashes with militant groups linked to Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly known as al-Nusra Front. These groups are reportedly supported by mercenaries and are utilizing heavy artillery and drones in their offensive.

Syrian forces have launched intensive defensive maneuvers over a 100-kilometer stretch amidst a coordinated multi-front offensive, leading to reported casualties on both sides, according to an official statement.

The Army announced that it has strategically repositioned its forces in response to the extensive nature of the assaults and the critical strategic significance of the regions involved. This tactical redeployment aims to strengthen defensive positions and withstand the offensive, while simultaneously setting the stage for a counteroffensive operation.

The Syrian military issued a statement underscoring its dedication to safeguarding civilians and reestablishing control over cities currently held by terrorist factions. The statement highlighted that the actions being implemented are temporary, forming part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at restoring full government authority over the regions of Aleppo and Idlib.
