Syria's military announced a \"temporary troop withdrawal\" from Aleppo on Saturday, calling it a strategic move to regroup forces ahead of a major counteroffensive against insurgents. 🔄 The decision follows intense clashes in Aleppo and Idlib, where dozens of soldiers were reportedly killed or injured this week. 💥
Military officials stated that reinforcements are en route to the region, aiming to \"rebalance the battlefield\" and reclaim key areas. 🛡️ Analysts suggest this could signal a pivotal moment in Syria's decade-long conflict, with both sides scrambling for territorial advantages.
Local residents describe Aleppo as a \"pressure cooker\" of tensions, with humanitarian groups raising alarms about disrupted aid routes. 🏙️ The city, once Syria’s economic hub, has been a focal point of clashes since 2016.
