Syria's Rebel Forces Resurge Amid Renewed Conflict
TL;DR Summary
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a Syrian rebel group with roots in the 2011 uprising, has seized control of Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, marking a significant shift in the country's civil war dynamics. Originally linked to Al-Qaida, HTS has evolved into a more nationalistic entity, cooperating with other rebel factions and international organizations. Despite their recent gains, HTS faces challenges in maintaining control and governance as Syrian government forces, backed by Russia and Iran, prepare to counterattack.
