As soon as the ceasefire in Lebanon was in effect, israel used its proxies in syria to start causing chaos again. This is all about stoping the re-supply route from iran to hezbollah. Assads survival likely depends on the Russian air force and how willing it is to be engaged in the ME
Apparently the city of hama is being routed by the rebels, which is the 4th biggest city. Quite the pace it would seem

The nisba "Al-Julani" in his nom de guerre is a reference to Syria's Golan Heights, partially occupied and annexed by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967.[13] Al-Julani released an audio statement on 28 September 2014, in which he stated he would fight the "United States and its allies" and urged his fighters not to accept help from the West in their battle against ISIL
Furthermore there is no “Israeli controlled country side” its de-facto Israel for the past 57 years

Don't know too much about them but seen several videos in one they execute some captured soldiers, in another they are shouting allahu akbar and in a third you see ISIS type patches on some them. So it quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
Northeastern Syria is in Kurds hands, while large swaths of eastern and oilfields are in US hands. The push is coming from Idlib province in northwest bordering Turkey. Turkey 100% has a hand in supporting these rebels. I wouldn't be surprised if Israel/US also sponsored them. Israel had 3 main enemies surrounding it before the Gaza war. Hamas, Hezbollah and Syrian government. 2 of the 3 have been severely damaged, it would make sense to take the 3rd one out.
Last i heard is portion of Hama fell to rebels but those gains were rapidly reversed by reinforcements. Both Iran and Russia have urged Assad to hold Hama, that would be a critical loss. I've seen some rumors that Iraqi militias are on their way to reinforce the SAA, but idk if it's true tbh, situation is very fluid.
Israel doesnt support HTS, they support the Kurds.
The Syrian border is Israel’s quietest border.

Do these HTS militants/rebels include the (former/present?!) Al Nusra? What is ISIS up to these days? Could they regroup in eastern Syria if a power vacuum forms as the government retreats and the rebels and SDF begin to duke it out in Aleppo?
ISIS have few active cells in the Syrian desert.
