A brief spotlight on (possibly) Syria’s new leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani, and the organization he heads—Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), “The Authority for the Liberation of the Levant”:

Al-Julani was born in Saudi Arabia to Syrian parents originally from the Golan Heights (hence his name, al-Julani, “The Golani”). He grew up in Damascus and, in a 2021 interview, shared that he was inspired by the Second Palestinian Intifada in 2000. He later became a jihadist in Iraq following the U.S. invasion in 2003. Over the years, he kept his identity hidden by covering his face in public appearances. In 2011, he returned to Syria from Iraq to establish al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch.

Sham is the Arabic term for “Greater Syria”—a region that encompasses modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel (as shown on the map). It’s the Arabic equivalent of the term “Greater Land of Israel,” an ancient concept tied to territorial aspirations, including the “liberation” of Jerusalem, not just Syria’s current borders.

If this term sounds familiar, it’s because ISIS also used it. The Arabic acronym for ISIS, Daesh, stands for “al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham” (The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant). Here too, “Sham” reflects a broader territorial ambition.

While al-Julani projects a moderate image outwardly and speaks the language of moderation, the name of his organization encapsulates far more extreme intentions. @Doron_Kadosh

Syrians have entered the home of Bashar’s younger brother, Major General Maher al-Assad, the commander of the Syrian Army's elite 4th Armoured Division.

They found huge tunnels under his home.

The Turkish-backed rebels have entered the city of Tartus where the Russian Navy has its only naval base outside of Russia.

Airstrikes, possibly by Israel, have hit the Syrian Scientific Research Centre (SSRC) in Damascus where Assad ran chemical weapon and ballistic missile programs

An Arms Depot at Mezzeh Air Base in the Syrian Capital of Damascus, which held Strategic Weapons of the Syrian Armed Forces, has been targeted and destroyed by an Israeli Airstrike.

The Israeli Air Force has launched additional Strikes on the Syrian Capital of Damascus, following last night’s Collapse of the Assad Regime; with Mezzeh Air Base being targeted once again, as well as the Syrian Intelligence Headquarters where a Massive Fire is now burning.

Immigration and passport building in Damascus.

Vene laevad ei saa Türgi väinadest läbi, ilmselt sõidavad Peterburi või Königsbergi.

See kõik on seal alles kodusõja uus algus! Assad oli kodusõja esimene vaatus! Kui Assadi enam ei ole, läheb omavaheliseks arvete klaarimiseks.

Russia has requested support from Türkiye to ensure the safe withdrawal of Russian forces in Syria, according to Russian sources speaking to Clash Report.

Look at what the Syrian rebels found in the Russian army's headquarters in Deir ez-Zor.
ISIS was just a scapegoat, a creation of theirs to commit terrorist massacres in its name.
