Syrian rebels oust President.-Assad's position in 2024...By 2024, the situation in syria had worsened. Rebel groups had rapidly strengthened their position across the country, including groups like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which was linked to al-Qaeda. The rebels launched a major offensive in november 2023, and by december they reached the capital Damascus. Meanwhile, the cities occupied by Assad's government were constantly facing rebel attacks. This major offensive by rebel forces shook Assad's regime.The increasing attacks by rebels against Bashar al-Assad in syria weakened his position. The rebels first captured big cities like Homs and then strengthened their hold in the areas around Damascus. In 2024, the rebels began to completely siege the capital Damascus, making it difficult for Assad to maintain his power. The rebels benefited from the weakening of the forces supporting AssadWhile on one hand the pressure of the rebels was increasing against Assad, on the other hand, his main allies russia and iran were also not able to fully support him.In fact, since 2011, Assad has been getting the most support from russia and Iran. russia provided military assistance to save Assad in the Syrian civil war, while iran and Hezbollah also supported him. But by 2024 all these forces were no longer able to help Assad. russia has been entangled for the last two years due to the Russia-Ukraine war, while iran and Hezbollah were also facing problems due to their limited resources.The Syrian government was very important for HezbollahThe Syrian government, especially Bashar al-Assad, was very important for iran and Hezbollah. Supporting Assad's regime gave iran regional influence, especially in the Middle East. syria served as a strategic route for iran, through which iran was able to send arms and resources to its supporters, such as Hezbollah. Hezbollah also considered Syria to be an important ally, as it provided a way to increase its power and influence.
