Updates
December 7, 2024: rebels widen assault. Assad rushes forces to protect Homs, Damascus. It will be interesting to see if Assad's troops support him or the rebels. Link here. At time of posting, story was 39 minutes "old."
December 6, 2024: this is a huge story -- Iran is not just evacuating ordinary Iranian citizens, but Iran is pulling their military forces out of Syria. It's hard to believe Assad's days are not numbered. His wife and children have "escaped" to Russia. Wow, as rich as they are, to end up in Moscow. Link here to The WSJ.
December 5, 2024:
Rebels have reached Hama. Syrian's government forces have pulled out of Hama.
Rebels are now on their way to Homs, the last big city before they move to Damascus.
See map below.
Nothing like a good war to learn geography.
