After fighting resumed in Syria's Aleppo province, the situation on the ground is far from clear. If the occupation of the western part of the city of Aleppo by the extremist forces is well established where several videos showed the taking of the military engineer Assad's school, the hospital, the "New Aleppo" police station and the Al Mosque Iman. It also seems certain that the "3000 apartments project" area will fall into the hands of the perimeter of the military artillery school. Several shots inside the city, i.e. within the perimeter of streets 214 and 5, appear to be more the work of isolated groups entering the city or sleeper cells rather than a real advance of organized troops. It would instead be in the hands of Tahrir al-Sham, the citadel of the old city even if there are videos that deny this takeover. The arrival in the western area of the city of the 25th special forces division of the Syrian regular army, also known as Tiger Force, is reported. The Syrian Air Force and Russian Aerospace Forces bombed several positions and places of regrouping of extremist forces, and the arrival of IL-76 planes from Zhukosovki airport to Hmeimim airport in Syria is also reported. The closure of Aleppo International Airport was also announced. As previously stated, the situation reported here is not 100% accurate as there are major discrepancies according to sources. This is the situation of the Syrian war, which is abusively called civil, given the direct and indirect participation of regional and non-regional foreign forces. The Syrian theater is not to be considered as an isolated theater but as an integral part of conflicts currently underway in the Middle East and Eastern Europe involving the United States, Russia, Israel, Iran, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Turkey, NATO member countries and Ukraine.
The only thing that is almost certain is that the Christmas celebration will hardly be celebrated publicly in Aleppo as it happened way back on December 25, 2016 after 4 years of occupation and fighting.
