• What I think should be changed:

In the info-box under Territorial changes, remove:

−

Israel occupies Quneitra Governorate

+

• Why it should be changed:

This is part of the 2024 Israeli invasion of Syria which started immediately after the topic of this page.

• References supporting the possible change:

None as this is a matter of dating. But if necessary - . Guy Haddad 1 (talk) 08:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: I don't see a very good reason as to why this change would be beneficial. If you disagree, please feel free to explain, as I may see this differently. (3OpenEyes' communication receptacle) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 14:17, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

@3OpenEyes Sure. The 'Territorial changes' section should describe territorial changes that occurred as part of this conflict. The Israeli occupation of Quneitra Governorate wasn't a part of this conflict but rather the "Territorial changes" of the 2024-2025 Israeli invasion of Syria.

That's a fair point. What I was coming from is the view that that serves as a good segue of sorts. (3OpenEyes' communication receptacle) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 12:16, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

@3OpenEyes Sorry for the delayed response. I'm not sure I understand you. What do you think about my suggestion? Guy Haddad 1 (talk) 13:02, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Uncited claim about Russian soldier killed in rebel ambush

In the first paragraph of the Opening advances sub-section, the article contains a sentence about Russian special forces being ambushed by then-rebel forces and subsequent photography showing that at least one Russian soldier was killed. This information is reflected in the infobox. However, the sentence/infobox is uncited; none of the sources in the sentence preceding the claim or the two sentences following the claim make any references to Russian special forces being ambushed. I also performed a quick Google search, but found no sources. The Russian Armed Forces casualties in Syria article also fails to mention any Russian soldiers being killed in November or December 2024. I'm not seeing any evidence of Russia suffering fatalities during the 2024 rebel offensives. Am I missing anything here? Spirit of Eagle (talk) 00:21, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

These are the ones I could find right now. If I remember correctly there are at least 2 bodies visible so "Several killed" would be best. TedKekmeister (talk) 22:41, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Operation Deterrence of Aggression should have its own page

The HTS lead offensive into Aleppo, Homs, Hama, and Latakia deserve a page simply due to the fact the southern offensive and SNA operations have their own, and it would do a great service to distinguish the various fronts better. And it wouldn’t include the battle for Damascus as well seeing as hts showed up when the battle was essentially over. (Bedandbreakfast118 (talk) 22:27, 27 January 2025 (UTC))

I agree. David O. Johnson (talk) 06:16, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Absolutely agree. I’d make it but I don’t really know

how to make pages. I’d assume it would include Aleppo, Hama, Homs, and a final section on the offensives into the Tartus and Latakia Governorates that ended the conflict on the 8th of December. Bedandbreakfast118 (talk) 20:00, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

I have converted Northwestern Syria offensive (2024) redirect to a article. Feel free to improve that page. RealStanger43286 (Let's talk!) 14:58, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I love you so much platonically for that. I shall begin trimming the fat Bedandbreakfast118 (talk) 15:39, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Dubious - Infobox

Recently repaired the bare URL in edit 1300437055, but I'm not sure it supports Jaysh al-Ahrar being involved. The arabic source states that more explicitly, so I've left the WAPO one in place in case there's something I don't understand about the conflict. Corsaka (talk) 09:41, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Also it would be better if SNA and SSG factions were separated so the Turkish and Ukrainian involvement mentioned could be attributed properly. The fact the SNA joined so late after HTS commenced the offensive is not a minor detail. Daseyn (talk) 21:43, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Reliability of SOHR

SOHR has a proven record of just making up information. It is mostly done by 1 individual. Please only site SNHR and other credible sources, as academics do. Example: Daseyn (talk) 21:36, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
