On Nov 27, 2024, a militant alliance led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group waged a major offensive from northern Syria. Following territorial gains, including the capture of the capital Damascus, the alliance declared the end of President Bashar al-Assad's rule on Dec 8.
Airports in Damascus, Aleppo and other places in Syria temporarily suspended operations due to the conflict. On Dec 18, domestic flights resumed at the Damascus International Airport.
