Ruth Sherlock on X:

"A top Syrian opposition militiaman tells me the “political timing” is the key to this lightning advance. Some factors:

- Russia distracted in Ukraine

- Hezbollah/Iran backed groups distracted in Lebanon

- Intense Israeli airstrikes on Iran backed militias in Syria

- Israel escalates in recent weeks rhetoric against Assad (calculation had previously been “better the devil you know” - but now Israeli leaders threatening him publicly to stop allowing Iranian arms transfers to Hezbollah in Lebanon.)

- Turkey (who supports some of the rebel factions in this advance) angry at Assad blowing off its approach for talks.

- UAE still strong relationship with Israel

- Assad regime a problem for Saudi, with captagon drugs flooding into Saudi from Syria

- Syria economy destroyed"

🔗 Clash Report

🇸🇾❌🇸🇾 — A new force called “Southern Syria Operations” declares a state of emergency and announces the following:

➡️A general mobilization and mobilization of all revolutionaries in Hauran to begin military operations.

➡️Calling on officers and members of the regime to defect quickly and granting them security to be in the ranks of the free revolutionary people.

➡️Raising the maximum readiness in Hauran and working within a coordinated practical plan.

➡️Strike with an iron fist and severe force anyone who ignores this warning, which is considered the last by the Assad regime.

➡️We in the southern region, as is the case in the provinces of Idlib, Aleppo and Hama, threaten the Syrian regime that the land of the south will be a graveyard for its officers, non-commissioned officers and members.

🇸🇾 The Southern Syria Operations group are Daraa rebels who accepted the Russian mediated reconciliation agreement in 2018.
