Fierce clashes continue in northern Syria between U.S.-backed Kurdish forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed groups, resulting in around 40 deaths. Despite U.S. efforts to ease tensions, Turkey views the YPG as a PKK-linked terrorist group. The conflict has worsened with foreign militants like HTS involved, and Turkey threatens further action.

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.

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.
