Following years of military stalemate, significant territorial gains have been made by rebel groups against the Syrian government, particularly by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
Assad's forces, once reliant on Russian and Iranian support, are exhibiting significant weaknesses, particularly with Hezbollah's decline due to external pressures and shifts in military assets.
The recent success of HTS in capturing Aleppo reveals a potential shift in the 13-year civil war's dynamics, challenging previous assumptions about Assad's enduring control.
Experts note that while Assad's forces can inflict casualties, there are increasing signs of their fragility, particularly with resource reallocations from Russia and setbacks with Iranian militias.
