Syria regime prepares for ‘biggest military operation’ of war in Aleppo

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Military and militia forces under the command of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad are reportedly preparing to launch a major offensive against Syria's largest city, Aleppo.

A Syrian security source told AFP that, "Through its operations, the army is trying to broaden its security zone around the city," which has long been fought over by the regime and the various armed groups opposed to it.

Another field commander claimed that, "This will be the biggest military operation in Syria since the beginning of the war."

As fighters in the city dig-in and try to consolidate their positions, those fighting on the regime’s side are cutting off supply lines along seven fronts in a bid to cut-off the eastern part of the city, ahead of the upcoming offensive.

The Syrian military and its allied militias have once again started offensive operations after Russia intervened late last September on their side and began providing air support.
