Here's the map from 5 December, also from @thomasvlinge.bsky.social:

A map entitled "The situation in Syria" dated 5 December 2024. It's a map of Syria colored according to which military forces control which areas. Assad loyalists control the southern half, including Damascus. Rebel forces control the northwest, including Aleppo. Federation forces control the northeast.
