Part 2/7:

The last eight days have seen a flurry of activity as rebel forces have advanced with remarkable speed. Their offensive has reportedly overrun several positions held by the Syrian Army with relative ease, leading to a significant shift in control. Eyewitness accounts suggest that government troops vacated their quarters in haste, leaving behind valuable equipment and supplies. One rebel fighter expressed a sense of divine victory, remarking that their return to families was accomplished with "honor and respect," and casting disdain on President Bashar al-Assad, whom they refer to derogatorily.
