War 2018 - Karmouz

The Karmouz War specifically was rooted in the efforts of the Syrian government to regain control over areas still under rebel control. The government, backed by its allies, particularly Russia and Iran, launched operations to reclaim territories that had been held by opposition forces. The Karmouz neighborhood, due to its significance and the presence of rebel factions, became a target for these efforts. The military operation in Karmouz in 2018 was characterized by intense bombardment and ground offensives. The Syrian government forces, supported by Russian airstrikes and Iranian-backed militias, aimed to flush out rebel groups from the area. The operation was marked by significant military engagement, with both sides suffering casualties.
