After suspension of airstrikes for nearly eight years | Fighter jets attack Aleppo neighbourhoods and “Deterrence of Aggression” forces advance into majority of neighbourhoods (www.syriahr.com)
 

The airstrikes, ground bombardment and limited resistance by regime forces left 20 members of HTS dead.

Meanwhile, HTS and factions participating in “Deterrence of aggression” operation advanced into neighbourhoods of Aleppo city and took control of the majority of the city, government centres and prisons.

Yesterday, a Russian fighter jet launched an airstrike with three missiles on military headquarters that included a group of members of the “Joint Forces” of the Turkish-backed “National Army”, on the outskirts of Marae’ City in northern Aleppo countryside, where four members were killed and several military cars and the headquarters were destroyed.

As Syrian rebels sweep into Aleppo, army closes airport and roads, sources say (www.reuters.com)
 

The opposition fighters have said the campaign was in response to stepped-up strikes in recent weeks against civilians by the Russian and Syrian air force on areas in rebel-held Idlib, and to preempt any attacks by the Syrian army.

Opposition sources in touch with Turkish intelligence said Turkey, which supports the rebels, had given a green light to the offensive.

...they were chased by “Arab youths” who shouted “free Palestine” and ‘f---ing Jews” before threatening them with knives and sticks.

Earlier in November, a fan of Makkabi Berlin who was wearing the club’s scarf had to be taken to hospital after a man in a café asked him whether he was Jewish and then punched him in the face.

Interesting stuff.
I deleted it since I started doubting what I wrote and didn't really have the time to look into it.

I agree it's more complicated, but it doesn't change what I wrote.
A weaker Iran means a weaker Russia and vice versa.
If both are weakened, Assad is weakened.
But I guess it's not as clear cut with Turkey. Although the Kurds will have an easier time when they won't have to fight Iranian, Syrian and Russian forces along with Turkish ones. And a weakening of Iran will also weaken Iranian-affiliated Iraqi militias that are also attacking Kurds.

Russia didn't let Israel, one of their bases were shot at for 40 minutes straight as a warning.
They also got a bunch of other warnings before and after. Russia won't waste their time on this when they're already losing so much in the war with Ukraine.

Both Russia and Iran helped Assad in the civil war.

Israel is allied with Azerbaijan because of their border with Iran.

Turkey was already assisting Hamas even before. They'll keep trade with Israel behind the scenes for economic reasons like they've always done.
And at the moment Russia is assisting Turkey in bombing the Kurds.

The dentals match. They compared it to the xrays they had of when he was treated in an Israeli prison.
But I guess they want to be 100% sure with the DNA test.

Nope, he was always in Gaza.
Mousa abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal are the ones in Qatar (and previously, Haniyeh).

Hopefully we will also see their ally Russia dismantled in the coming year.
All which might cause the weakening of Turkish forces in Syria and the demise of Assad.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Iran fired 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles.

In Reuters they reported the following:

Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder:
...
Iran's attack was about twice the scope of Tehran's attack on Israel on April 14

There are reports about this being coordinated by Iran, which has been recruiting for a while now for this attack and possibly more.
But not from known sources, so we'll have to wait for other ones.

Probably similar to the way they tried recruiting several months ago https://archive.md/OC1fk (Haaretz)
