Dr. Ahmed Al-Said: Thank you for having me. The Syrian Army’s recapture of points in both Aleppo and Idlib signifies a critical shift in the balance of power on the ground. This operation reflects a response to the intensified attacks from terrorist organizations, particularly those like Al-Nusra that have been launching heavy assaults using a combination of weapons, including drones. the heavy losses inflicted on these groups may instill a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability among thier ranks.
