Shocking footage has emerged showing jihadist gunmen roaming the halls of Syrian President Bashar Assad's palace in Aleppo, as insurgents from the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group and allied militias launched a surprise offensive.
The video, filmed by the militants, shows them exploring the palace's darkened rooms and climbing its marble staircase.
This bold attack came after HTS and allied groups stormed government-controlled areas in northern Syria, briefly capturing parts of Aleppo.
Despite heavy losses, the Syrian military, supported by Russian airstrikes, successfully thwarted the insurgents’ advance.
Syrian forces are now regrouping for a counteroffensive with support from Iranian military advisors.
The attack on the palace highlights the ongoing instability in the region and the relentless efforts by jihadist groups to challenge Assad’s rule

IDF Reserve Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi credited President-elect Donald Trump’s stern warning as a pivotal factor in securing the Israel-Hamas cease-fire after a 15-month conflict. Avivi highlighted that Hamas, initially resistant to the deal since May, reconsidered under pressure, citing Trump’s statement that “all Hell will break out” if hostages weren’t returned by Jan. 20. Avivi also acknowledged Israel’s strategic victories over Hezbollah and Syria’s weakened stance as contributing factors. The agreement, brokered with Trump’s team, is set to take effect just before his inauguration.

The year 2024 was marked by several pivotal global events. Donald Trump's return to the U.S. presidency shocked the political landscape, following a fiercely contested election where Kamala Harris, despite Biden's endorsement, failed to secure a victory. In Syria, years of civil war culminated in the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, as rebel forces led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, supported by Turkish-backed groups, successfully overthrew his regime. Meanwhile, the world was shaken by multiple deadly plane crashes, including the tragic crashes in Kazakhstan and Jeju Air, which claimed over 200 lives. These events, alongside ongoing conflicts like the Israel-Hamas war and Modi's re-election in India, have defined a tumultuous year that has left lasting impacts on geopolitics and human lives.

A deadly ambush near Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartous resulted in 14 interior ministry personnel killed and 10 injured. The attack was attributed to loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad. It occurred during an operation to apprehend a former officer linked to the notorious Saydnaya prison. Three loyalists also lost their lives in the clash. This comes weeks after rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) ousted Assad, ending decades of family rule. HTS promised to protect minorities but faces global designation as a terrorist group. Tensions continue to rise across the country.

The Yemeni Houthi group has escalated tensions with a series of bold military operations, targeting both the United States and Israel amid ongoing regional conflicts. In their seventh attack on the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, the Houthis deployed advanced drones and missiles in the northern Red Sea, demonstrating their growing military capabilities.
Simultaneously, a massive barrage of missiles and drones struck Israel, targeting vital locations in Eilat, Tel Aviv, and Ashkelon. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea announced that the attacks were carried out in response to the recent Gaza violence and vowed to continue retaliation if ceasefire agreements are violated or escalations occur.
