The terrorist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group, together with a number of armed organizations that are part of the so-called Syrian armed opposition, launched a large-scale operation on November 29, moving from the north of Idlib to the cities of Aleppo.
A day later, on November 30, the terrorists took control of Syria's second largest city and its surroundings, including the international airport and Quwayris military airport.
