Deep Dive

Chapters
The recent capture of Aleppo by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebels marks a significant escalation in Syria's civil war, a conflict that has been largely dormant in recent years. This chapter explores the background of the conflict, the identity of HTS, and the complexities of the rebel group's composition.
  • Aleppo, previously held by government forces, was retaken by opposition forces in a matter of days.
  • Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), initially a splinter group from al-Qaeda, has undergone a rebranding but maintains an Islamist ideology.
  • The rebel force is not entirely homogenous, comprising various groups with varying degrees of affiliation with HTS.
