The rebel group in Syria has captured the country's second largest city Aleppo and more than half of the area of Idlib. According to the New York Times, the rebel group includes Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its affiliated organizations. They have the support of Al Qaeda.
In 2016, the Syrian Army had driven out the rebels. This is happening again after 8 years when rebel groups are going to capture Aleppo. HTS attacked on November 27 and entered the city and captured several military positions.
The Syrian government on Saturday closed Aleppo airport, hospital and all roads connected to the city.
Meanwhile, Russia has started helping the Syrian government. According to the Moscow Times, Russian forces carried out a deadly bombardment of the rebels and their weapons warehouses on Friday. The Russian army has claimed that in the last 24 hours it has attacked 23 rebel positions and killed more than 200 rebels.
The attack by rebels in Syria, which started 3 days ago, has become a major challenge for the Bashar al-Assad government. More than 250 people from both sides have been killed in the clashes so far.

Russia sent aid, Iran can also help According to the report, President Assad's three biggest allies, Iran, Hezbollah and Russia, are embroiled in domestic matters. Russia is fighting a war with Ukraine, while Iran and Hezbollah are at war with Israel. All three played an important role in helping the Assad government deal with the civil war.
Syria is important for Iran because Iran uses Syria to supply weapons to Hezbollah and Hamas. In such a situation, Iran may soon provide weapons to Syria. According to the report, pro-Iranian Iraqi militias may go to Syria. These militias include Kata'ib Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al Haq, Harakat al Nujbah.
Civil war started in Syria in 2011 The civil war in Syria started with the Arab Spring in 2011. The people of Syria started protests against the Bashar al-Assad government, which has been in power for 10 years. After this a rebel group was formed by the name of 'Free Syrian Army'.
With the formation of the rebel group, the civil war in Syria started. This conflict increased further after America, Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia joined it. Meanwhile, the terrorist organization ISIS had also spread its wings in Syria.
After the ceasefire agreement of 2020, only sporadic clashes have taken place here. According to the United Nations report, more than 3 lakh people were killed in the decade-long civil war. Apart from this, lakhs of people had to be displaced.
The Syrian civil war is the second most destructive war of the 21st century.
Aleppo city destroyed in Syrian civil war The city of Aleppo, which received UNESCO World Heritage status in 1986 and is one of the oldest cities in the world, had become an important site of the Syrian civil war by 2012. Syria's Aleppo city was not only a world heritage but also the center of the country's economy, this city decorated with beautiful mosques and artefacts was destroyed in no time by its own people.
By July 2012, Aleppo was divided into two parts, one part of which was under the control of the Free Syrian Army and the other under the control of Bashar al-Assad. The countries that helped the government included Russia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Pakistan.
At the same time, the rebels were getting help from America, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. All the beautiful artefacts, mosques and cultural heritage for which the city was known were lost in government air strikes.
