Nearly a month after the fall of the Assad regime, the situation in Syria remains unstable due to multiple internal and external factors.
Tensions between Turkey and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are still building up in the northeast of the country.
On January 1, two Turkish drone strikes hit the SDF in the eastern countryside of Aleppo. The first strike targeted a post of the group, which is backed by the United States, close to the Kara Cossack Bridge, killing three fighters and wounding several others.
Another drone strike targeted a sugar factory controlled by the SDF close to the town of Deir Hafer. No casualties were reported there.
The Turkish military also suffered losses, with a Bayraktar TB2 combat drone being shot down by the SDF over the Kara Cossack Bridge.

In the days leading to the drone strikes, heavy clashes between the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) and the SDF were reported in the eastern Aleppo countryside. The clashes saw heavy use of FPV suicide drones by the SDF, which resulted in the destruction of Turkish military equiptment including radar and electronic warfare stations.
Despite the tensions with Turkey, the SDF remains open to dialogue with the new Syrian government, which is led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.
On December 30, a meeting between HTS leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohamad al-Julani, and a delegation of the SDF was held in an air base close to the capital, Damascus. The meeting was reported positive. No details were revealed by either side.
While HTS is making some progress with the SDF, the group control over the southeastern region, mainly over the governorate of al-Suwayda, which is controlled by local Druze armed factions, remains weak.
Over the night of December 30 and January 1, a convoy of HTS’ security forces attempted to enter al-Suwayda in order to take control of government buildings there. However, the convoy was blocked by local Druze fighters and forced to retreat.
Commenting on the incident, the spiritual leader of the Druze community, Hekmat al-Hijri, said that the convoy was forced to retreat because it was sent without coordination.
Besides the situation in al-Suwayda, HTS has been also facing public pressure over Israel’s continuous military operations in the southern region.
On December 31, a unit of the Israeli Defense Forces entered Ba’ath City in the governorate of al-Qunitra. Israeli troops stormed several government buildings, including the Supply Directorate, the Real Estate Bank, and the automated bakery, under the pretext of conducting inspections.
All in all, Syria is facing serious internal and external challenges. The country may be heading towards a new war, one that would be far more complex than what we saw before.

american senator openly warned turkey, americans will replace turkey with israel, america will put e rdogan in front of the door of nato. america shows middle finger to e rdogan and not selling any weapon to turkey since 2 years
it looks like assad was sold out by his allies. and some kind of deal between turkey russia and israel took place. russian bases are left alone. russian influence decreased. israel expanding their land grab against syria. turkey doing a neo ottoman land grab in the north kurds are created to help israel with its greater israel up to the eupthrates vision.
the syrians are the real loosers of this deal. as jihadists have now taken over and pogroms are taking place against christians alawites and kurds. the army basically stood down or was bribed they barely fought for aleppo and damascus there was almost no real fighting. no army falls this quick in such large cities it were perfectly defendable positions. more like a full transitioning from assad to hts terrorists. with assad fleeying to russia by his il76
im sure either there was a deal between russia turkey and israel and assad was stabbed in the back or the army was bribed and stabbed assad in the back. know jews are the commondenominators this was their creating and they run both putin and erdogan. and their shabbos goy aliyev who is now soon to ship oil to israel through syria. by a to be build pipeline.
assad was direct flown by russians away. he probably has every single penny (and more). he never actually ran syria himself but was obviously on the satanic kike payroll from the beginning, keeping in mind all of the whacked iranians and hezbollah liaisons in syria. the former syrian intel guy playing the role of some random prisoner in assad’s prison on cnn, all to vilify syria they are probably planning on doing more serious ops in syria after regrouping, as ever.

1 person is 1 person. he’s not representative of anyone but himself so is a fraud as a senator .unless he’s conducted a poll of all of his electorate and found that they believe that then he’s abusing his position of trust and acting as the servant who claims to be above his masters .imo he’s effectively enslaving them as his servants subject to his will .
guess who convinced them that the people elected them because of the rubbish campaign promises they made? to then make it that tge people are psychivs who elected him because they expect him to think for them as of he’s clairvoyant .by magic guess who ?
you won’t guess cause you don’t know the basics so i’ll tell you who the boss of the temple bar in the inns of the city from consultation with his circle and set .where they have the temple church .think.about what that is ,but don’t bother to google it you’ll get nothing out of them .
here’s a clue ” i’m.not a christian and i’m not a jew ,and i just realised that nothing is what it seems ” madonna .
another clue the inns are the only privately owned real estate in the city .that is, alodial titles. the catholic knights templar own owned them .they who created ss land aka switzerland it’s from isis .

the goal is control, and they are inveterate liars; literally trained since childhood. they have been doing this for centuries. syria is just that latest, and not the last.
surprise, same old same old .
basic russian presence in syria, big upgrade with libya.
that is right.
the false leader whose only job was to be a controlled demolotion of syria went away and the resulting chaos is surprising?
