🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾🇱🇧🇱🇧 - The combination of the Israeli war on Lebanon and the HTS takeover of Syria is the beginning of the end for traditional Palestinian nationalist militant groups outside of Syria. These groups were all backed by the Assad regime and have lost all their power after the HTS takeover, leaving them powerless in face of the Lebanese army.
Independent Syrian jihadists and even the HTS administration do not possess the same power the Assad regime had over Lebanon to control these Syrian-backed Palestinian groups in the refugee camps.
However, what will happen to Hezbollah-backed Al Qassam and Saraya al Quds? What about the Palestinian jihadi factions like Fatah al-Islam? What about Lebanese and Syrian Sunni jihadi factions? Will Joseph Aoun become president, strengthening the military in the face of Hezbollah and all other factions? Time will tell.
It's important to note that the Lebanese Islamic Group (Muslim Brotherhood) has backed both Hezbollah in its war against Israel as well as the Syrian rebels against the Assad regime. HTS and Lebanese Sunni prime minister Mikati (an anti-Christian force, infamously spreading the lie that Christians are 19% of the country) joining forces is also extremely dangerous for Christians. We are dealing with wild cards.

Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe. But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. Anastasia Vlasova/Getty Images
