Jihadists in Syria, led by the Islamist group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), have made significant gains by advancing towards Homs, capturing surrounding areas including Talbiseh and Rastan. The situation is critical for Hezbollah due to its supply routes from Iran. As clashes intensify, the majority of Homs’ pro-Assad residents have fled, while the Iranian regime plans to send more military support. Concurrently, the Islamic State has regained control over regions in eastern Syria amidst the chaos, further complicating the conflict.
