On November 29, 2025, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa marked one year since his opposition alliance captured Aleppo, a pivotal moment that led to the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

The offensive, which began November 27, 2024, swiftly overran government forces, culminating in the fall of Damascus on December 8.
Aleppo had been divided since 2012, with heavy fighting and destruction on both sides, and Russia’s 2015 intervention had helped Assad reclaim the city in 2016.
Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, ten Palestinians were injured in clashes near Bethlehem on November 28, including one shot with live fire, amid ongoing violence following Hamas’s October 2023 attack.
Israeli forces imposed a military closure, and violence has continued despite a recent truce, with over 1,000 Palestinians killed since then.
