HTŞ leader Colani instructs women to "Cover your head."

On November 27, armed opposition groups, led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), began armed operations, advancing to the capital Damascus in just 12 days and bringing an end to the 61-year Ba'ath regime. Following these developments, Bashar al-Assad and his family fled to Russia.

There is curiosity about how HTS leader Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, who is referred to as the figure closing the Assad era, will govern in Syria. While claims that HTS has liberalized have been prominent recently, discussions continue about whether Syria will be governed by Sharia law.

INSTRUCTION TO "COVER YOUR HEAD" FOR WOMEN

In a video that has surfaced on social media, the timing of which is unknown, HTS leader Jolani's request for a Syrian woman, who wanted to take a photo with him, to cover her head drew attention. In the footage, it was seen that the woman covered her head with the hood of her jacket.

While there is curiosity about whether Taliban-like practices will be implemented in Syria, the images shared from the region continue to be a topic of discussion.

DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIA

On November 27, clashes intensified between regime-opposing armed groups led by HTS and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups gained dominance in major cities such as Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs between November 30 and December 7.

As the groups began to enter the capital Damascus on December 7, the regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions with the support of the masses. The 61-year rule of the Ba'ath Party came to an end, and regime leader Assad fled the capital.

On the other hand, the Syrian National Army had also liberated the center of the Tel Rifaat district from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG on the first day of the Operation Dawn of Freedom launched in December.

With the liberation of the Manbij district during the operation, the region, which had turned into the largest terrorist stronghold west of the Euphrates River, was cleared of PKK/YPG.
