Syrian opposition forces launch large-scale attacks, reigniting concerns about civil war.

Jinshi Data News on November 29th, according to The New York Times, Syrian opposition armed forces launched the largest offensive in years against the government forces, sparking concerns that a war that has been basically frozen for years is reigniting. The "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights," based in the UK, said that anti-government forces began a new offensive in the northwestern Aleppo province of Syria on Wednesday. On Thursday, opposition forces made progress and occupied several new villages. Two days of fierce clashes have resulted in the deaths of more than 150 combatants on both sides. This attack has united various opposition factions. A commander of the opposition armed forces stated that this offensive is "aimed at stopping the attacks of the government forces and their Iranian-supported militia allies." Meanwhile, Syrian official media reported that the government forces are facing "large-scale terror attacks" against villages, towns, and military bases, and are "cooperating with allied forces" to respond, causing significant losses to the rebels, but the media did not specify which allied forces. Analysts believe that although Syria did not directly get involved in the (Gaza) conflict that disrupted the Middle East last year, its territory has long been a battlefield for international powers. For years, Israel has been launching deadly attacks in Syria, claiming to target Iranian-backed armed groups, including the Hezbollah organization in Lebanon.
