Hello and welcome to Middle East Eye's Syria live blog.
Events are happening at breakneck speed. On Saturday alone, rebel forces have taken control of various areas of Damascus' southern suburbs, including Daraya and Moamadhia, towns that were besieged by Bashar al-Assad's army for years before surrendering in 2016.
Syrian troops also withdrew from Quneitra, the province and ghost town on Syria's border with Israel and the occupied Golan Heights.
And in the Syrian desert, rebels seized Palmyra, an oasis town also known as Tadmur that is famous for its Roman ruins and notorious prison.
To the north, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham's advance on Homs, Syria's third-largest city, continues.
Stay with us to watch it all unfold.
