Pezeshkian, I'm just saying, this is the perfect pretext to send conventional Iranian troops to Syria. Maybe use the opportunity.

— ❗️🇸🇾/ 🇸🇾 Syrian military journalist regarding the current field situation:

'The battles between the Syrian Arab Army and HTS terrorists have expanded from Western Aleppo city to Southwest of Aleppo, East of Idlib, and Southeast of Idlib in the vicinity of Saraqib, with them launching massive attacks since morning on those fronts.

The terrorists' apparent goal is to threaten the city of Aleppo and reach the Aleppo-Damascus M5 road from Western Aleppo to Southwest of Aleppo and East of Idlib, in the vicinity of Saraqib. They are using tanks, armored vehicles, personnel carriers, rocket launchers, and drones, which are clearly Ukrainian and which they recently obtained.

Currently, the size of the HTS terrorists' attacking manpower is very large compared to the size of the Syrian Arab Army forces defending Eastern Idlib and the Southwest Aleppo axis, but our soldiers are steadfast. However, the terrorists may succeed in achieving breakthroughs at several points due to the need to withdraw to stronger defensive lines in the rear, and to avoid large human casualties.

Currently, the Syrian Arab Army is in the stage of absorbing and weakening the massive attacks on the axes of Western Aleppo, Southwest of Aleppo, Eastern Idlib, Southeast of Idlib, and the vicinity of Saraqib, with the continued flow of massive reinforcements to the army, which requires time to properly organize, deploy, and prepare for a counterattack at a later time.

The army is trying to absorb the waves of attacks, exhaust the terrorists as much as possible, destroy their capabilities, and strike their gatherings, bases, and supply lines. There are very large human losses among the terrorists, a large percentage of whom are foreigners, and the warplanes and helicopters continue their work on all fronts.'

— Some are falsely circulating this video as battles in Aleppo City, but it is a battle in Southwestern Aleppo countryside, south of al-Barqoum in Tal Hadya, as the person in the video mentions.

There are only two options.

1. The SAA planned this and it's some kind of 5D chess 200 IQ move.

2. The SAA was caught woefully off-guard.

I think it's the latter. But there is always a lot of hype surrounding these types of offensives at the start, we have to see what happens in the next few weeks and months.

For now, it seems that the Turkish-backed HTS terrorists have managed to overwhelm the Syrian Army due to sheer numbers in terms of manpower. SAA reinforcements need time to organize and prepare.

Something isn't adding up.

Most of these advances seem to be without any meaningful resistance.
