The Battle of Aleppo

The Battle of Aleppo was a major conflict during the Syrian Civil War, occurring from 2012 to 2016 in the city of Aleppo, Syria. It involved fierce fighting between Syrian government forces, backed by Russia and Iran, and various opposition groups, including rebel factions and jihadist organizations. The battle was marked by intense urban warfare, significant civilian casualties, and widespread destruction of infrastructure. Ultimately, government forces recaptured Aleppo in December 2016, which shifted the war's balance in favor of the Assad regime and heightened humanitarian crises, with many people displaced or in dire need of assistance.
