Syrian rebels capture key city Daraa, marking a significant loss for Assad's government.

Syrian rebels have seized control of Daraa, a key city in Syria's civil war, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Local armed groups now control over 90% of the province, following the loss of Aleppo and Hama to an Islamist-led rebel alliance. The rapid series of losses marks a significant setback for President Bashar al-Assad's government. The conflict has already led to over 500,000 deaths and displaced half the population since 2011. Talks between Russia, Iran, and Turkey are scheduled this weekend to address the shifting political landscape in Syria.
