I don't understand the end goal here tbh.

The Alawites are underquipped, lack the necessary manpower, and the majority of Syria is not in the mood for another war.

If it works, it works, but I highly doubt anything useful will come from this.

Thanks Al Jazeera, but I didn't ask.

Also, you lie a lot.

— NOTE: The resistance forces in Syria are not trying to bring Assad back to power.

The uprising is a response to HTS' continued oppression of religious minorities.

It aims to establish a Syrian state for all, not a return to the Baath government.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇵🇸 UPDATE: Hebrew media reports that U.S. officials are concerned that Israel is intentionally sabotaging the prisoner exchange and ceasefire talks by leaking news of the direct meeting between U.S. and Hamas officials

A similar meeting was reportedly planned a week ago but was thwarted by Israel.

Israeli officials are unhappy about not being included in the discussions and worry about a direct communication line between the U.S. and Hamas.

After the news leaked, Trump first threatened Hamas and then asserted a few hours ago that the talks aimed to 'help Israel.'

Guys, I have been helping some good friends of mine with their recently founded news website.

They have a liveblog on the events in Syria right now. Their content is honestly great. Check them out!

Okay. I think I may know what their plan is, although I'm not entirely sure yet.

Capture Latakia port, and a narrow strip of land along the coast, including Tartous, stretching towards the Lebanese border.

Boom. You now have a weapons supply corridor for Hezbollah.
