>The commander of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Abu Mohammed al-Julani, says all state institutions will remain under the supervision of al-Assad’s prime minister until they are handed over officially.

Pretty unusual for a terrorist group

Also a few more statements from the "terrorists":

- It is strictly forbidden to fire bullets into the air under any circumstances, as it causes panic among civilians and endangers the lives of the innocent.

- It is forbidden to tamper with public institutions and property, as they are the rightful property of the people. It is our duty to protect and preserve them and help develop them.

- It is forbidden to encroach upon or harm any private property in any form

I haven't seen any indication that Israel plans on invading Syria, nor can I see a particular reason for them doing so.

Hmm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golan_Heights ? [Not that I'd take this as having any new impact on the current situation, but...]

The Golan is firmly under Israeli control already and has been for half a century, they don't need to "invade" it anymore.

Yes, they annexed that after the last war with Syria. Do you think the US is going to abandon the southwest US back to Mexican cartels, or the UK will abandon Wales, or any of these other countries will abandon territory they won in war long ago?

I think that perhaps the takeaway should be that things are more complicated than what terms like "terrorist" imply.

Terrorist is what the media calls them when they’re bad. But once they start receiving US funding again they become rebels.

The U.S. has funded terrorist organizations since forever. You think this is novel?
