Nuclear Test, Zelensky Demands NATO Entry, Biden Furious Putin; Shock Collapse Aleppo (Alexander Mercouris)

The jihadist army in Syria is a proxy of the West and Turkey. The attack here is intended to draw in Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon and possibly Russian resources from Ukraine. The Iranians may also be drawn in - and you can expect the Israelis to bomb them. The success of the jihadists is a massive intelligence failure when it comes to the Syrian Government. Hard fighting is undoubtedly on the way.
