In the complex Syrian conflict, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has evolved from the Nusra Front into a powerful player, influencing both military and governance aspects in opposition areas, despite its controversial origins and connections to Al-Qaeda. #Syria #HTS #MiddleEast

The ongoing Syrian conflict, ignited in 2011, has seen various
factions emerge, with the Islamist militant group Hay'at Tahrir
al-Sham (HTS) becoming one of the most significant. Formerly
affiliated with Al-Qaeda, HTS evolved from its origins as the Nusra
Front. Over the years, it has positioned itself as both a formidable
military force and a governance authority in opposition-held areas.
Despite its controversial ties and shifting allegiances, HTS's role
has grown amidst a fragmented resistance landscape. Today, it remains
pivotal in the struggle against the Syrian government, navigating
alliances and rivalries that shape the course of the conflict.
