However, analysts believe that Russian success today is not guaranteed with the same ease, in light of Moscow’s preoccupation with other international files, such as the war in… Ukraine.
Different views on escalation
Asaad Al-Zoubi, a military expert, believes that “the reduction of Iranian and Russian support, due to their regional priorities, has led to weakness Syrian forces which has been heavily dependent on external support since 2014.
He adds: “A number of armed factions, such as… Hai’at Tahrir al-Sham “Jaish al-Izza has managed to strengthen its positions in light of these retreats.”
External interventions and their repercussions
Experts point out that external interference is a key factor in the complexity of the Syrian crisis.

As the fighting continues and the escalation intensifies in northern Syria, fears are emerging that this escalation will complicate the humanitarian situation and increase political and military divisions. In light of these challenges, the question remains: can the Syrian army, with the support of its allies, regain the initiative or will the dynamics of war impose a new reality?
