Syria's HTS Militants Conquer Deir Al-Zawr: Third City Falls As Israel Unleashes 480 Blitz in Hrs

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. #SyriaCrisis #HTSControl #DeirAlZawr #SyrianCivilWar #IsraelAirstrikes #SyriaUnderSiege #MiddleEastConflict #SyrianRebels #IsraelBlitz #HTSOffensive #SyrianRegimeCollapse #SDFWithdrawal #ChemicalWeaponsStrikes #GolanHeights #RegionalInstability Also Read America's Closest Ally in Syria Confronts New Challenges as Sunni Arab Rebels Gain Ground :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/americas-closest-ally-in-syria-faces-challenges-011-4013049.html?ref=DMDesc Sednaya Prison Falls, Damascus Celebrates: Syrians Turn the Page on 13 Years of Tyranny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/sednaya-prison-falls-damascus-celebrates-syrians-turn-the-page-on-13-years-of-tyranny-4012031.html?ref=DMDesc Assad Overthrown: Who Controls Syria Now? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/assad-overthrown-who-controls-syria-now-4011775.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.334~
