What just happened in Syria and who's in charge?

[4thIDvet]

The Assad family ruled Syria for more than 50 years with an iron fist. Now that has come to an end.
Bashar al-Assad became president after the death in 2000 of his father Hafez, who had ruled for almost three decades.

Thirteen days ago, the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied rebel factions launched a major offensive in north-western Syria.

Good summary.

I thought I saw Israel was making a made dash into Syria in a land grab.

Just like the US...no one is in charge. Joe is sleeping it off and the Ho is vacationing and getting drunk while the world goes to Hell.

The Assad family ran Syria for 50+ years. Now that he is hiding out in Russia with his pal Putin, various moon-howler fundie groups will fight for power. The entire ME is a clusterfuck and will continue to be so.
