A radical Islamist group launched a significant military incursion against Syrian regime forces in northwest Syria, marking the largest attack since 2020. This action prompted Russian and Syrian warplanes to retaliate by bombing the insurgent offensive.

The rebels, led by the U.S.-designated Islamist terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, targeted a dozen towns and villages in northwest Aleppo province, which is under the control of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
