Rebels capture Damascus; Assad flees. US responds with airstrikes against ISIS. Biden deems Assad's fall risky yet hopeful. Trump's non-intervention stance may shift US role.

Damascus Falls, US Strikes ISIS in Syria

Damascus seized by rebels; US hits ISIS camps as Assad flees. Biden calls for cautious optimism, while Trump advocates for minimal US involvement, marking a potential policy shift.

Rebels capture Damascus; Assad flees. US responds with airstrikes against ISIS. Biden deems Assad's fall risky yet hopeful. Trump's non-intervention stance may shift US role.

In a dramatic turn of events in the Middle East, Syria&rsquo;s capital, Damascus, has fallen to rebel forces, forcing President Bashar al-Assad to flee after ruling the country for 24 years. This major shift in power has prompted immediate military intervention from the United States, which carried out a series of airstrikes targeting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) in Syria.&nbsp; &nbsp;
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the strikes, executed the day following the insurgents' capture of Damascus. In an official statement, CENTCOM disclosed that over 75 targets were struck, including ISIS leaders, operatives, and training camps. The urgency of the strikes reflects the US strategy to prevent armed groups from exploiting the power vacuum following Assad's departure.
"On December 8, US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted dozens of precision airstrikes targeting known ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria," the statement read. "The mission's aim is clear: disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS. We cannot afford for ISIS to regroup or enable the terrorist group to conduct operations outside Syria, particularly in the wake of Assad's ousting."
The action was underscored by assertions from CENTCOM Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla, who emphasized the critical risk of an ISIS resurgence. "There should be no doubt &ndash; ISIS will not be allowed to reconstitute and exploit the current situation in Syria," he stated. Moreover, he warned all factions in Syria against any form of collaboration with ISIS, stressing accountability.
In tandem with the military activities, political overtures came from the White House, where President Joe Biden defined Assad's fall as both a "moment of risk" and a "historic opportunity." In a televised address, Biden articulated the dual nature of this transition&mdash;highlighting the potential for Syria's populace to aspire for a more hopeful future, while cautioning about the inherent uncertainty that comes with a power vacuum.&nbsp;
Biden attributed Assad's downfall primarily to dwindling support from key allies such as Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah. "For years, Assad relied on Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia. But in recent weeks, their support faltered dramatically, revealing their weakened state since I took office," Biden noted. Despite this, he reiterated America's commitment to assisting Syrian stakeholders in forestalling further instability.
As the US administration manages this geopolitical shift, a significant change in US foreign policy approach looms with the upcoming presidency of Donald Trump. Known for his 'America First' ethos, Trump has expressed a starkly divergent stance. In response to Assad's toppling, Trump declared that the United States should steer clear of the Syrian conflict, labeling it as a "mess."
His non-interventionist viewpoint suggests a potential recalibration of US involvement in Middle Eastern affairs. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan mirrored this sentiment by maintaining that US priorities should focus on preventing an ISIS resurgence and averting a humanitarian crisis, rather than direct involvement in the conflict.
Thus, as Syria enters a new chapter, the United States finds itself at a crossroads, navigating between current commitments to regional stability under President Biden's leadership and the forthcoming strategic re-evaluations anticipated under the Trump administration. The evolving dynamics in Syria pose complex challenges and opportunities for the international community, highlighting the intricate tapestry of geopolitics that continue to shape this pivotal region.

Turkey has invaded northern Syria three times since 2016 and already controls some territories in the north. Earlier this year, Erdogan threatened another military operation in the border area.

A week after Istanbul bombing, Turkey strikes in northern Syria

Turkey has invaded northern Syria three times since 2016 and already controls some territories in the north. Earlier this year, Erdogan threatened another military operation in the border area.

Turkey launched deadly airstrikes over northern regions of Syria and Iraq targeting Kurdish groups that Ankara holds responsible for last week's bomb attack in Istanbul.
The Turkish Defense Ministry, in a statement, said it was targeting areas &ldquo;used as a base by terrorists&rdquo;.
The ministry cited Turkey's right to self-defence under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter while launching an operation which it called Claw-Sword.
The airstrikes came after a bomb rocked a bustling avenue in the heart of Istanbul on November 13, killing six people and wounding over 80 others.

Israeli jets pounded militant targets in Gaza early Saturday as rockets rained on southern Israel, hours after a wave of Israeli airstrikes on the coastal enclave killed at least 10 people, including a senior militant and a 5-year-old girl.


Israel and Gaza militants exchange fire after deadly strikes

The fighting that began Friday with Israel's dramatic targeted killing of a senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad continued throughout the night, drawing the sides closer to an all-out war.

But the territory's Hamas rulers appeared to stay on the sidelines of the conflict, keeping its intensity somewhat contained, for now. Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers have fought four wars and several smaller battles over the last 15 years at a staggering cost to the territory's 2 million Palestinian residents.
The latest round of Israel-Gaza violence was sparked by the arrest this week of a senior Islamic Jihad leader in the West Bank, part of a month-long Israeli military operation in the territory. Citing a security threat, Israel then for days sealed roads around the Gaza Strip and on Friday took out the militant leader in a targeted strike.&nbsp;

An Israeli strike hit Damascus International Airport and other areas of the Syrian capital, killing five soldiers, state media reported on Saturday.
The state-run SANA News Agency said the strike hit around 12.45 am.
It said there had been some “material losses”, without elaborating.
Israel hasn't directly acknowledged the strikes, but it comes amid a wider shadow war between the country and Iran.
It has struck the Damascus airport, as well as the airport in Aleppo, over fears it was being used to funnel Iranian weaponry into the country to support President Bashar Assad and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
