After nearly five years of being written off as a frozen conflict, a new and unprecedented chapter was written over the weekend in Syria’s 13-year civil war. On Wednesday, rebels in the north of the country launched a lightning ground offensive against regime forces and managed, within 72 hours, to take over the major metropolis of Aleppo.
A day later, rebels captured Tal Rifaat, the last major stronghold in northwest Syria that had been held by a third group, the Kurdish-dominated and U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
