Syrian rebels achieve swift victory over Assad regime in just 13 days
Syrian rebels have achieved a rapid victory over President Bashar al-Assad's regime, which took 13 years of conflict to challenge but fell in just 13 days. The regime's collapse was aided by its weakened allies and internal issues. Turkey's role remains unclear, with officials denying direct involvement. However, rebels reportedly communicated their plans to Ankara, which has historically supported the opposition. The offensive was led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a group with a controversial past. Israel has also benefited from the regime change, as it disrupts Iran's supply routes to Hezbollah. Israeli airstrikes have targeted Syrian sites to prevent weapons from reaching the rebels. The situation has led to a new dynamic in the region.
