Update by Rojava Information Center Since yesterday, HTS has consolidated and continued their incursion into Syrian government territories. In the last few hours, Turkish-backed SNA factions have advanced and captured more villages in Shehba, a region under the DAANES’ administration. RIC interviewed Menan Cehfer, a resident of the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Aleppo, who says, “The situation is getting darker. Basic needs such as water, electricity, and bread are running out. We are under siege. It seems the militias are using an indirect approach to make us surrender. However, for us, surrender is not an option.” Clashes are currently taking place on the outskirts of Tal Rifaat. Earlier today, Turkey shelled villages on the border between Shehba and Turkish-occupied territories. More: https://rojavainformationcenter.org/

⚡️ Turkish backed Islamists launch offensive against Rojava According to the latest reports, Islamist militias allied with Turkey have launched an offensive against the democratic self-administration in northern and eastern Syria (Rojava). The Tel Rifaat region south of the Afrin region, which was occupied in 2018, and the Kurdish districts of Aleppo are currently at risk of being surrounded by Islamist forces. A number of advances in the region have also been reported, although the exact extent cannot yet be estimated. The self-administration had already declared a general mobilization at midday in order to protect the region and defend the self-administration. According to estimates, around 200,000 refugees from Afrin live in the region alongside the local population, and the Islamist militias currently invading the region have repeatedly committed atrocities and war crimes against the local population since 2018. @Jugendinfo

⚡️The Autonomous Administration calls for general mobilization against attacks on Syria by Turkish-backed SNA and HTS "We strongly condemn and denounce the attack launched by the Turkish state and its terrorists on Syrian territory, and we salute the historic resistance shown by our people in! Aleppo and Tel-Rifaat." "This attack led by the Turkish state represents a continuation of the plan that Turkey failed to achieve through ISIS and its goal is to occupy Syria and achieve the borders of the "Turkish National Pact" that the Turkish state has repeatedly sought to implement."

📌War in Syria: HTS and SNA – “rebels” or jihadists? Western media reacted with lightning speed to the renewed fighting in Syria: “rebels” or “insurgents” were entering Aleppo, wrote most newspapers such as the BBC, CNN or FAZ. Other newspapers such as Süddeutsche or Le Monde write of “jihadists” or “islamists”. A closer look is necessary. 🗞READ OUR NEW ARTICLE https://www.ronahi.eu/2024/war-in-syria-hts-and-sna-rebels-or-jihadists/ Ronahî - Youth Center for Public Relations.

📢 Alert: People of Sheikh Meqsoud pledge to resist Turkish backed invasion in Aleppo While large parts of the city of Aleppo have already fallen, many civilians have found refuge in the self-governing district of Sheikh Maqsoud. Meanwhile, the self-defense forces in the self-governed districts are preparing for resistance and the population is cleaning their weapons. Shouts of “Biji Berxwedana Sheikh Maqsoud” (Long live the resistance of Sheikh Maqsoud) and “An Serkeftin An Serkeftin” (success and nothing but success) are heard everywhere. Similarly, columns of the YPG and YPJ reached the city on Friday evening and were greeted by applauding people. According to the situation, all democratic and revolutionary forces should get ready just like the people of Sheik Maqsoud and the defense forces of the revolution and be prepared for any eventuality!

A major offensive led by Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) on the city of Aleppo has been underway since the morning of November 29, 2024. The jihadist militia HTS, which emerged from Al-Qaeda, is one of the numerous militias that have established their reign of terror in the occupied areas of northern Syria in recent years. They are under the control of the Turkish state and receive all the necessary support. For example, HTS has taken control of parts of Afrin, which has been occupied since 2018, and numerous frontline areas bordering the Autonomous Administration. It is considered brutal, well trained and well-equipped militarily. The HTS, like other Islamist militais that are part of the offensive, are often portrayed as “rebels” in the Western media. In reality, kidnappings, violence against women and the oppression of ethnic minorities are the order of the day in the areas they occupy. The official authorities of the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) have made it clear that these attacks were initiated by Turkey and are part of a plan to further destabilize Syria and weaken the Autonomous Administration. It is clear that this is not simply an attack by one of the various Islamist groups in Syria, but part of the war that Turkey has been directly waging and planning in the region for years. On Thursday evening, the jihadists had already succeeded in capturing dozens of villages around Syria's largest city, Aleppo, and raising their flags there. On Friday morning, HTS began advancing on the city of Aleppo from several directions. Hundreds of civilians and soldiers of the Syrian regime have already been killed in the initial fighting. Pictures of severed ears, Islamic State patches on HTS uniforms and hoisted Turkish flags are currently flooding the internet. Meanwhile, numerous checkpoints and military stations have been abandoned by Syrian regime soldiers in a hurry. They left behind heavy weapons such as tanks and howitzers, which are now in the hands of the jihadists. At the same time as the advance on Aleppo, the attacks on the self-governing areas further east have visibly intensified. While the jihadist groups on the front line near the occupied city of Mare have begun shelling the areas in the Shehba region with artillery, videos of armored columns preparing to advance into the self-administered areas were published at the same time. The affected self-governing region of Shehba is a refuge for tens of thousands of displaced people from the canton of Afrin, which was occupied in 2018, and is also located on the line connecting the two self-governing districts of Aleppo and the other parts of the self-government. Attacks by Turkey on nearby self-administered areas such as Minbic and Til Rifaat have steadily increased in recent months. In the same breath, the Turkish Foreign Ministry announced through a spokesperson that they would no longer tolerate the alleged recent escalation of attacks on Turkey by the self-defense units. These are the same statements that Turkey had already made before the invasions in 2018 and 2019. While large parts of the city of Aleppo have already fallen, many civilians have found refuge in the self-governing district of Sheikh Maqsoud. Meanwhile, the self-defense forces in the self-governed districts are preparing for resistance and the population is cleaning their weapons. Shouts of “Biji Berxwedana Sheikh Maqsoud” (Long live the resistance of Sheikh Maqsoud) and “An Serkeftin An Serkeftin” (success and nothing but success) are heard everywhere. Similarly, columns of the YPG and YPJ reached the city on Friday evening and were greeted by applauding people. According to the situation, all democratic and revolutionary forces should get ready just like the people of Sheik Maqsoud and the defense forces of the revolution and be prepared for any eventuality!

Escalation in Syria: Islamists Loyal to Turkey Launch Attack on Kurdish Areas Following the outbreak of the heaviest fighting in Syria in several years, Kurdish areas are now under acute threat from attacks by jihadist groups cooperating with Turkey. While the Islamist group Haiat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda formerly known as al-Nusra Front, has been advancing on Aleppo since Wednesday and fighting with the Assad regime’s forces, the Turkish-loyal mercenaries of the so-called Syrian National Army (SNA) are currently preparing a major attack on the Kurdish region of Tal Rifaat in northwestern Syria. The Turkish army is already bombing the region from the air and on the ground. Attacks on the Kurdish town of Ain Issa have also been reported. According to local sources, Turkey has also opened the border to northwestern Syria, allowing more jihadist fighters to enter Syria. Read the full statement

Islamists expand offensive in Syria Islamist militias, such as HTS and SNA, have expanded their offensive in north-western Syria. They are now said to be attacking not only the Syrian army west of the megacity of Aleppo, but also the Shehba region further north, which belongs to the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. Hundreds of thousands of Kurds who were displaced by the occupation of Afrin in 2018 live there. During the night, militias allied with Turkey are said to be firing artillery at positions of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The first battles are said to have already taken place on the ground along the front line. Turkey also carried out air strikes on Tel Rifaat in Shehba and Ain Issa further east. The SDF began to send reinforcements to the Manbij region during the night, although Shehba is an enclave trapped between Turkish-occupied areas and regime areas. @Jugendinfo

Islamist militias launch offensive in north-west Syria In north-western Syria, Islamist militias have launched an offensive on areas of the Syrian regime north of Aleppo. According to local reports, the militias are currently advancing towards the city of millions from the Idlib region. They have already captured several villages and smaller towns. A further advance is reported from the south. At least 60 people are said to have been killed since the morning. The aim of the offensive is still unclear, but the Syrian army has sent reinforcements to the region and launched airstrikes. The north-west of Syria has been held by Islamist military forces, such as the al-Qaeda successor HTS, for years. At the beginning of the civil war, the region was a stronghold of the opposition to Assad. Various actors, such as Turkey, armed the militias to assert their own interests. @Jugendinfo

#Breaking: Protests in Dersim after the removal of elected mayor After the Turkish state appointed trustees and removed the elected mayors in Dersim (Tunceli) and Pulur, the people of Dersim protested against the decision to neglect the peoples will. Despite Turkish police brutally attacking with rubber bullets, gas and water cannons protests continued throughout the night with the slogan: “Kurdistan will be the grave of Fascism” The appointment of so-called trustees and the removal of elected representatives is a common practice of the Turkish occupation in Northern Kurdistan. Following the removal of elected Dem-Partî mayors in Xelfetî, Mardin and Batman around two weeks ago, fierce protests broke out, which continue in Batman to this day.
