• Syrian government forces, backed by Russia and Iran, are mounting a counteroffensive with airstrikes and troop mobilizations in Hama and Aleppo provinces.
• The conflict has resulted in over 600 deaths, including more than 100 civilians, and displaced tens of thousands, with severe disruptions to humanitarian aid and essential services.
