Thousands flee Homs as insurgents led by HTS advance on Syria's third-largest city
The move is the latest in a lightning advance spearheaded by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group over the past week which has seen them seize Aleppo and Hama in the face of little resistance by government forces.
Israeli warplanes launched a massive assault on Syria, conducting over 100 airstrikes in a single day, targeting key military and intelligence sites in Damascus, Homs, and Daraa. This aerial offensive follows the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime and comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria null and void, signaling Israel’s intent to occupy the strategic buffer zone near the Golan Heights.
Israeli forces took control of the Mazzeh base on Mount Hermon, while advancing into several towns, including Quneitra and Khan Arnabeh. Israeli military officials issued warnings for residents in areas near the Golan to stay indoors as operations continued.

Syrian rebels have seized full control of Homs, the country's third-largest city and a critical strategic hub, after a swift offensive that left government forces retreating. The fall of Homs marks a significant victory for the insurgents, severing key supply routes between Damascus and Assad's coastal strongholds. Rebels have now entered the capital's suburbs, declaring Damascus "militarily fallen" as reports of gunfire and chaos emerge from the city. President Bashar al-Assad has reportedly fled to an unknown destination, further signaling the regime's crumbling hold on power. This dramatic escalation could mark a turning point in Syria’s 13-year conflict.

Syrian rebels, led by HTS, have made significant advances in northern Syria, capturing Hama and focusing on Homs, which is seen as a crucial step toward Damascus. The escalation, involving Turkish and Russian support, has resulted in more than 280,000 people being displaced.

Israel faces mounting concerns as the militant group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) gains significant ground in Syria, raising fears of a potential spillover into Jerusalem. The rapid territorial advances by HTS have destabilized the region, drawing global attention to the intensifying crisis. The situation is further complicated by allegations of U.S. involvement in shaping the conflict to serve strategic interests. As Syria becomes a focal point of competing ambitions, tensions rise over the potential fallout for neighboring nations, including Israel. With international powers grappling to respond, the unfolding conflict has placed the entire region on edge.

The Syrian city of Deir al-Zawr has fallen under the control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants, marking the third major city to slip from government hands in a week. This dramatic shift follows a series of swift and coordinated HTS offensives, compounded by the withdrawal of U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Simultaneously, Israel has launched an unprecedented military blitz across Syria, targeting 480 strategic sites within 48 hours, including airports, air bases, and suspected chemical weapons facilities. The dual assault has left the Syrian regime’s military infrastructure severely weakened, raising concerns about regional stability and the broader implications of escalating international involvement.

In a shocking turn of events, HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani issued a chilling message targeting Iran, Israel, and the United States, signaling the possibility of all-out war if specific actions are taken. In his statement, Jolani warned of escalating violence and direct conflict if Israel continues its military operations in Syria and if the U.S. maintains its support for Syrian Kurdish forces. He also addressed Iran’s involvement, suggesting that HTS could expand its targets beyond Syria's borders in retaliation for Tehran's military presence in the region

Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) militants have declared their intentions to expand their influence across the Middle East, following their capture of Damascus in December 2024. In a video posted by Althawra Network, they stated that their conquest of Damascus was only the beginning, and that they aim to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, and the Kaaba in Mecca. They called for patience from the people of Gaza, promising to reach Jerusalem soon. HTS's ambitions highlight their growing power in the region, alongside their Salafi ideologies and controversial stance on governance.

In a devastating week-long military campaign, Syrian forces, backed by Russian airstrikes, eliminated 2,500 fighters from the extremist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (H.T.S). This retaliatory strike is a major blow to the terrorist organization as the Syrian regime intensifies its efforts to reclaim control over rebel-held areas. With escalating violence and continued airstrikes, the region faces an uncertain future. Meanwhile, Iran begins evacuating key military personnel and diplomats from Syria amid the growing conflict. The situation is rapidly evolving, and major retaliations are expected in the coming days.

In a stunning development, the Syrian military has withdrawn from the key city of Hama as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants seized control following intense battles. The Syrian government's retreat came after a series of heavy clashes, with the military choosing to prioritize civilian safety over further conflict. Footage shows HTS fighters entering the city, celebrating their victory, and continuing their advance in the region. With this shift in control, the situation for President Bashar al-Assad's forces grows increasingly precarious. The international community watches closely as these developments mark a critical point in Syria's ongoing conflict.
