Turns out much more has happened yesterday than previously thought.
Overall pro-Assad have been relatively active
-Pro-Assad rebels launched attacks on HTS positions in Latakia, including on the port, the military academy, the naval command HQ, the Khmeimim air base, the Istamo air base, as well as key positions surrounding the city.
-Pro-Assad rebels launched attacks in Jableh (south of Latakia), with street battles occurring.
-Pro-Assad rebels launched attacks on the Tartus port city and engaged in clashes with HTS forces.
-Pro-Assad rebels ambushed HTS columns on the M4 highway from Aleppo to Latakia.
As a result, massive HTS reinforcements were moved towards Tartus, Latakia and Jableh.
On the one hand, it can appear as a lot coming from the pro-Assad, and fairly so, thus putting into question their actual operational capabilities.
However, on the other hand, these could very well be "firecrackers"; as in lots of small, but noisy, actions with no real consequences.
On the same issue, these could tell us against what the Russian strikes were aimed at considering they still have forces and equipment in some of these places. Forces that are there as part of the small contingency that will remain in Syria, along with the forces currently being evacuated from the country.
-SDF launched a series of unsuccessful attacks on SNA positions in the Manbij direction.
As a result, Turkish Armed Forces moved into Idlib near the Tishreen dam near Manbij to reinforce SNA positions.
-Turkish airstrikes were carried out on a number of positions in northern Syria, including on Aleppo.
-YPG clashed with HTS/SNA in Aleppo, reportedly capturing a series of positions outside of their strongholds in the north of the city.
-ISIS reportedly attempted to infiltrate the HTS-held city of Deir Ezzor.
-The IDF engaged in clashes with the Islamic front of Syria near the town of Suweisa.
