In a significant counterterrorism operation, the Syrian military, backed by Russian forces, has eliminated approximately 2,000 foreign-backed Takfiri jihadists in northern Syria over the past week. The strikes targeted key terrorist positions, gathering points, and supply routes, dealing a crushing blow to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters.
The campaign saw heavy clashes northwest of Hama, where the Syrian army expanded its security perimeter by 20 kilometers, killing 300 jihadists and destroying 25 drones. Missile strikes in Idlib inflicted further casualties, leaving hospitals overwhelmed with wounded fighters.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin are at odds over the escalating conflict in Syria. Erdogan has issued a bold statement predicting victory for Syrian rebels, including jihadist factions, against the Russian-backed government of Bashar al-Assad. The comments come amid renewed violence in key regions such as Idlib, Aleppo, and Homs, where Russian airstrikes and Assad's forces are battling rebel offensives.
Erdogan accused Moscow of fueling the crisis by supporting Assad's regime, while reaffirming Turkey’s commitment to protecting Syria’s territorial integrity and addressing the “legitimate demands” of the opposition. The remarks have heightened tensions between Ankara and Moscow, both of which have vested interests in the Syrian war.

The Syrian military, supported by Russian allies, has launched a devastating offensive against Takfiri militants in the northern regions of Hama, Aleppo, and Idlib, delivering a crushing blow to terrorist networks. The operation resulted in the elimination of approximately 320 jihadists, including top leaders of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, and the destruction of 12 terrorist bases and ammunition depots. In a significant development, Syrian forces successfully retook the strategic highway linking Mahardeh and Suqaylabiyah near Hama, alongside surrounding towns and villages. The offensive comes as a response to the escalation of militant activity, signaling a major victory for Damascus in its ongoing counterterrorism efforts.

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.

Israeli officials have warned of a growing threat from Turkey's increasing support for Syrian factions, especially following Turkey’s strategic ambitions in the Middle East. The Nagel Commission report emphasizes that this could become an even greater risk to Israel than the ongoing concerns with Iran. Israel’s defense strategy is shifting, with recommendations to boost offensive military capabilities and allocate a larger defense budget. This evolving situation reflects broader regional instability, exacerbated by Turkey’s involvement and recent developments in Syria.
