The advances in the past week are by far the largest in recent years by opposition factions, led by a group that has its origins in al-Qaeda and is considered a terrorist organisation by the US and the United Nations.
Iran has issued a strong challenge to Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its leader, Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, as Major General Hossein Salami, the IRGC chief, vows that Syrian youth will reclaim their homeland. Echoing Ayatollah Khamenei’s remarks, Salami emphasized Syria’s inevitable liberation from foreign occupation and militant forces. He condemned the foreign powers tearing Syria apart, specifically criticizing Israel’s intrusive actions in Damascus. Salami reaffirmed Iran's commitment to preserving Syria's dignity without pursuing territorial ambitions. His remarks underscore Iran's support for Syria’s sovereignty, signaling a significant challenge to groups like HTS and external players influencing the conflict.

Israeli tanks and armored vehicles have advanced into multiple towns in Syria’s Quneitra province, causing widespread destruction.

In the town of al-Hamidiyah, Israeli forces further demolished trees along roads and power poles, intensifying the impact of their occupation. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes targeted missile warehouses and launchers near Damascus, escalating the ongoing conflict in the region.

CNN is facing widespread criticism after a Syrian prisoner freed in a high-profile rescue effort led by journalist Clarissa Ward was revealed to be Salama Mohammad Salama, a notorious torturer for the Assad regime.

Tensions at the United Nations have escalated as Israel and Russia clashed over the ongoing Gaza conflict, with Iran strongly condemning the U.S. for rejecting a proposed ceasefire. The UN General Assembly has called for an immediate ceasefire to address the worsening humanitarian crisis, but the U.S. vetoed the measure, citing security concerns and ongoing threats from Hamas. Iran has accused the U.S. of enabling violence by siding with Israel. Meanwhile, Israel criticized the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), alleging that dozens of its 13,000 workers in Gaza participated in Hamas attacks, further complicating relations with the UN. These developments highlight deep divisions among global powers, leaving the path to resolving the Gaza conflict uncertain.
