Summary
Syrian troops withdrew from southern provinces of Daraa and Sweida to reinforce Homs, a key city under threat from insurgents.
The rapid advances by opposition fighters, led by the jihadi Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, aim to overthrow Assad’s government and threaten Syria’s territorial integrity.
The situation is further complicated by the withdrawal of Iran’s military advisers and fighters, leaving Assad’s government with limited access to the outside world.
Homs has already fallen, I know the fog of war is thick and moving insanely fast bur there already in Damascus.
Do you have a source for this?

Seen lots of posts but figured this is recent from a reporter?
From what I can tell rebel advances from the south have arrived to the outskirts of Damascus. I don’t see concrete evidence that Homs has fallen. The group advancing southward from the north isn’t the same as the one moving northward from the south.

Edit: Reuters reporting Homs has fallen to the rebels
liveuamap.com is relatively well known in Ukriane, I often check them.
Never really thought of clicking on “Сирія” in the top toolbar. Did not know they were covering Syria as well.
They have one for the Isreal-Gaza war and even one for notable news stories in the US.
If there’s one thing that libs love, it’s gotta be “moderate rebels” (aka religious extremists that serve this empire).
It’s a one bad guy taking area from 3 other bad guys.
If anyone is funding it is Turkey.
While I’m glad Russia and Iran are losing grip I’m not excited about the replacement either. I’m glad that it is hurting their power though.
We’re cautiously hopeful about HTS because the reports from the Christian minority is that they are being tolerant of them.
The advances in the past week were among the largest in recent years by opposition factions, led by a group that has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the United Nations.
RTFA. Care to shadowbox some more?
