—❗️🇸🇾 BREAKING: It is now confirmed by reliable local sources that HTS forces have suddenly withdrawn from the Western Syria coastal region, including Latakia and Tartous, for unknown reasons – gunfire is now audible in several places @Middle_East_Spectator
— 🇸🇾 UPDATE: The news of HTS withdrawing yesterday seems to be false, here's what really happened:
Two days ago, news started spreading on X that Maher Al-Assad had returned to Western Syria. This rumor was apparently sparked by the fact that a famous Syrian actor who played Maher Al-Assad in a movie, had returned to Latakia after years abroad. Pro-Assad outlets quickly spread the news, thinking it was the real guy.
As a result of this, former SAA factions and pro-Assad loyalists believed the news, and started gathering in some areas of Latakia and Tartous. Some sleeper cells shot into the sky to 'celebrate Maher Al-Assad's return'.
This led to some HTS units temporarily leaving their positions, in order to evaluate the situation. They thought they might be dealing with an organized uprising. Then, they called in reinforcements, and consolidated their positions. They combed Latakia and Tartous for sleeper cells, and various individuals were arrested.

— ❗️🇺🇸/🇪🇬/🇯🇴/🇵🇸 NEW: Donald Trump says he wants Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations to accept more Palestinian refugees from Gaza
'I’d like Egypt to take people. You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, you know, it’s over.' He said.
He also told the Jordanian king, 'I’d love for you to take on more. The Gaza Strip is a real mess.'
Trump noted that resettling could be either temporary or long-term: 'Something has to happen. It's literally a demolition site, almost everything is destroyed, and people are dying. I’d prefer to work with Arab nations to build housing elsewhere, so they can live in peace.'
