LevantThe Levant is the eastern Mediterranean region encompassing Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Its history connects the ancient Land of Israel and Jerusalem with successive empires, modern states, religious communities and regional conflicts.History of the Jews in SyriaJewish communities lived in Syria from antiquity through the modern era, with major centers in Aleppo and Damascus. Their scholarship and religious heritage survived centuries of changing rule, but anti-Jewish violence and Syrian state persecution drove most Syrian Jews into exile during the twentieth century.Ghouta chemical attackOn August 21, 2013, Bashar al-Assad’s regime used sarin against civilians in East Ghouta, killing at least 1,400 people and injuring about 3,600. The massacre brought the United States close to a military strike and led to a chemical disarmament agreement, but attacks continued.Fall of the Assad regimeAn 11-day offensive led by Ahmed al-Sharaa and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham reached Damascus on December 8, 2024, ending 53 years of Assad family rule. The collapse transformed Syria’s government and sharply weakened the Iranian regime’s military corridor to Hezbollah.
