Who is behind the successful jihadist attack in Syria?
The rapid offensive by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has reshaped the Syrian conflict, culminating in the collapse of the Assad regime. Backed by Turkey’s logistical and economic support, Ukraine’s drone expertise, and indirect U.S. cooperation, HTS leveraged advanced tactics to seize Damascus. This highlights the critical role of foreign actors in the region’s shifting power dynamics, with Syrian civilians paying the heaviest price.
