The new crisis in Syria, explained
Syrian government warplanes struck near and inside Aleppo in northwest Syria on Monday, state media and rescue workers said, as President Bashar al-Assad’s government moved to repel rebels who took control of the city in a recent lightning offensive.

Airstrikes also hit residential buildings in the city of Idlib, which has become a refuge for people displaced by the civil war, killing at least five civilians and leaving 30 others injured, according to the White Helmets, an independent rescue organisation.

The opposition offensive poses the most serious challenge to Assad in years, where the civil war between the government and rebel forces has been frozen since 2020. It also presents a quandary for U.S. and Western powers over their policy toward Syria.
