Syria Braces for Major Offensive as West 'Enters War': Iraqi Forces Join Fight Against Dayr al-Zawr
Syria is on the brink of a major military escalation as militants backed by Western powers intensify their offensive in the east.
The Syrian military has been put on high alert in response to a growing threat from groups like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other foreign-backed factions.
In a surprising turn, Iraqi forces have pledged to support the Syrian government troops in repelling these militant attacks, signaling a shift in the regional balance of power.
As the West allegedly continues to back these groups, Syria's resilience is being tested on all fronts.
Turkish President Erdogan has threatened military action in Syria to prevent its division and eliminate terrorist groups like the PKK and YPG. Turkey aims to maintain Syria’s unity, improve relations with its new government, and oppose international sanctions. The situation risks escalating regional tensions, particularly with Israel over Iran's influence.

The year 2024 was marked by several pivotal global events. Donald Trump's return to the U.S. presidency shocked the political landscape, following a fiercely contested election where Kamala Harris, despite Biden's endorsement, failed to secure a victory. In Syria, years of civil war culminated in the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, as rebel forces led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, supported by Turkish-backed groups, successfully overthrew his regime. Meanwhile, the world was shaken by multiple deadly plane crashes, including the tragic crashes in Kazakhstan and Jeju Air, which claimed over 200 lives. These events, alongside ongoing conflicts like the Israel-Hamas war and Modi's re-election in India, have defined a tumultuous year that has left lasting impacts on geopolitics and human lives.

On December 26, 2024, violent clashes broke out in Syria between remnants of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants in the Tartous governorate. The violence escalated after 14 HTS militants were killed in an ambush, attributed to former government loyalists. Amid ongoing unrest, protests erupted across Syria, particularly by the Alawite and Christian communities, following incidents like the desecration of an Alawite shrine and the burning of a Christmas tree. The HTS-led authorities imposed curfews in response, and sectarian tensions continued to rise.

A deadly ambush near Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartous resulted in 14 interior ministry personnel killed and 10 injured. The attack was attributed to loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad. It occurred during an operation to apprehend a former officer linked to the notorious Saydnaya prison. Three loyalists also lost their lives in the clash. This comes weeks after rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) ousted Assad, ending decades of family rule. HTS promised to protect minorities but faces global designation as a terrorist group. Tensions continue to rise across the country.

HTS militants have unleashed a terrifying campaign of violence across Syria, with attacks occurring every 10 minutes, primarily targeting minority populations along the coastal regions. Following their rapid takeover on December 8, which ended Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule, the militants have engaged in widespread looting, kidnapping, assassination, and harassment. Areas like Qardaha, Tartous, and Latakia have been hit hardest, with reports of grisly shootings, throat-slashing, and desecration of religious sites. An information blackout has made it difficult to fully document the scale of the devastation, but protests are surging in response to HTS' brutal tactics. This deadly operation has left a nation in fear, with entire communities now living in constant danger.
