Syrian Civil War Escalates: Rebels Breach Damascus as Assad Reportedly Flees

Syria is experiencing a major escalation in conflict, with opposition forces making significant advances. On December 7, 2024, rebels from Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) breached Damascus, freeing prisoners from Sednaya Prison and forcing President Bashar al-Assad to reportedly flee. This comes after their capture of Aleppo and Hama, marking the most significant rebel gains since the start of the Syrian Civil War in 2011. These offensives have included cooperation among HTS, the Syrian Democratic Forces, and other opposition groups.

Rebel forces have also advanced toward key cities like Homs and Deir ez-Zor, effectively isolating Assad’s remaining forces. International flights at Damascus Airport have been suspended amid the turmoil. Meanwhile, the Syrian government has faced challenges from internal corruption and decreasing support

This rapidly evolving situation raises concerns about further humanitarian crises and regional instability.
