Part 2/10:
In a span of one week, the armed group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has launched a series of successful attacks against Syrian military positions, claiming key cities previously held by the government. The recapture of Hama—a historical stronghold of opposition against the Assads—has energized these fighters and rekindled hopes for a larger uprising. Despite facing significant resistance bolstered by Iranian and Russian military support, the opposition's rapid advances highlight a new phase of conflict that could redefine control within Syria.
