The rapid advance of Syrian rebel forces in the Aleppo, Idlib and Hama regions is sweeping the "silent" majority.
In various regions of Syria, opponents of the Assad regime are beginning to "wake up" and rise up against the regime, even though the rebel forces have not yet reached them.
Supporters of the Shiite axis call them "sleeper cells," but the truth is that there are many opponents of the regime throughout Syria who, once they are convinced that the regime is already weak enough, will rise up against it regardless of the movement of forces.
For example, this is currently happening in Talbisa, which is south of Hama and north of Homs - an area that the rebels have not yet reached, where clashes with the regime are taking place.
In addition, there were demonstrations of joy in Syrian villages near the Israeli border.
Demonstrations of joy and support for the rebels in the village of Angel in the Daraa district (20 km from the border with Israel) during which the Syrian security forces fired over the heads of the celebrants - no casualties.
Unverified reports from Syrian opposition sources were told about the escape of Syrian army personnel and their families from the Quneitra, Daraa and Sawida area after rumors spread that the rebels would later reach the Damascus area and southern Syria.
