Syrian rebels seize Hama and Aleppo, advancing on Homs, reigniting the civil war.

Syrian rebels, led by HTS, have seized key cities Hama and Aleppo, and are advancing towards Homs, the country's third-largest city. The rebels aim to march on Damascus, President Assad's stronghold. The Syrian government denies withdrawals from Homs and has conducted airstrikes to halt the rebel advance. The conflict has displaced thousands and raised concerns about a potential genocide. Lebanon has closed its land borders with Syria, except for the main Beirut-Damascus route. The offensive has reignited the civil war, which had been mostly dormant.
