The Rise of Syrian Rebel Forces

The situation in Syria is rapidly evolving, marked by significant developments such as the Syrian rebels' capture of the capital, Damascus. The leader of the prominent rebel group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), heralds the fall of President Bashar al-Assad as a triumph for the Islamic world. This group, which originated from an Al-Qaeda affiliate, has faced designation as a terrorist organization by the United States. The complexity of the conflict, with various factions and external influences, keeps the future of Syria uncertain as the transition from Assad's regime unfolds.
