Fighting rages across northern Syria with Turkish-backed forces clashing with Kurdish units at the Euphrates River while sectarian battles erupt in the south. All this comes as the new regime led by a former al-Qaeda commander struggles to unify the country.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “It is our assessment that, frankly, the transitional authorities, given the challenges they’re facing, are maybe weeks, not many months, away from potential collapse and a full-scale civil war of epic proportions.”
CBN News recently visited the Tishreen Dam which has been in the news as the scene of some heavy fighting between the Turkish-backed forces and HTS and the Kurds. Now the Kurds hold the dam, and there’s a ceasefire that just recently came into effect, which they’re hoping will hold.

Mohammad Ahmed of the Free Burma Rangers said, “Daytime and nighttime… we hear the airstrikes destroyed all this building. They never stop.”
Syrian Democratic Forces respond by fortifying cities across the region—digging tunnels, building barriers, and erecting camouflaged walkways to evade drone strikes.
