Quick Syrian rebel advance catches Assad forces off-guard near Aleppo

In a swift-moving operation Syrian rebel groups pushed through Assad regime defenses in Aleppo: the speed of advance caught many by surprise. The opposition forces didnt just hold their new positions but kept moving forward taking control of more territory

The rebels quick advance toward Hama marked a significant shift in the conflict — government troops (supported by Putins Russia and Iranian allies) seemed to disappear from many areas without much resistance. The opposition groups took advantage of this unexpected development and secured several strategic points along their path

Video evidence shared by anti-government activists showed captured soldiers at multiple locations including an air-base in Idlib province; the footage confirmed rebels success in over-running military installations. The opposition groups managed to secure positions in Syrias biggest city Aleppo and continued their push southward which created a real-time challenge to Assads authority

The fast-paced offensive became one of the most effective operations against government positions in recent memory. Multiple rebel units coordinated their actions well which led to capturing:
* Strategic points in Aleppo region
* Military air base in Idlib area
* Territory on the way to Hama
* Government strongholds between major cities
