Syria War Live Map 🇸🇾

This Syria war map tracks the security situation in Syria after the fall of the Assad government on 8 December 2024, when an offensive led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) reached Damascus and ended the rule of the Assad family. The war that began in 2011 left the country divided among several armed actors, and the transition under the new authorities in Damascus has been accompanied by fresh waves of violence and continued foreign military activity. The map shows current reports from across Syria, so readers can see where clashes, strikes and security incidents are being reported now rather than relying on outdated front-line maps.

Events cluster in several zones. The north-east, east of the Euphrates, has been held largely by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). In the north, Turkish forces and Turkish-backed Syrian factions operate along the border, with recurring friction around areas such as Manbij and the Tishreen Dam. The south-west, around Quneitra, Daraa and the Golan Heights, has seen Israeli strikes and an expanded Israeli military presence since December 2024, and Sweida province has also seen deadly clashes. ISIS remnants remain active in the central desert. The coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus saw serious violence in 2025.

Plotted events include ground clashes between armed groups, operations by the security forces of the transitional authorities, Israeli airstrikes and incursions, Turkish airstrikes and drone strikes, US and coalition counter-ISIS operations, ISIS attacks, roadside bombs and car bombs, assassinations, sectarian violence, unexploded ordnance incidents and developments at detention camps in the north-east. Each event carries a timestamp, coordinates, a category and a link to its source. Because Syria has changed so much since December 2024, the map focuses on current reports; descriptions of front lines from the Assad era no longer reflect the situation on the ground.

Sources include Syrian media aligned with different sides, statements by the transitional government, Kurdish and SDF-affiliated outlets, Turkish media and Defence Ministry statements, Israeli military statements, US Central Command, monitoring groups, international news agencies and geolocated footage. Many actors have a stake in how events are portrayed, so every claim is shown as reported and labelled with its origin instead of being treated as confirmed. The map groups events in three colours, Syria, Turkey and Iraq, so that activity on the Syrian side can be told apart from activity linked to the Turkish and Iraqi sides of the borders. This grouping is purely technical.

The Syria war map is neutral and factual: it records what was reported, where and when, without taking any position on the legitimacy of the parties. Journalists, analysts, humanitarian organisations, researchers and Syrians inside the country and abroad use it as a single, frequently updated overview of a fragmented security picture. New events are added roughly every five minutes, titles are automatically translated into English, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian, and the free dashboard keeps 30 days of history. Developers can query the same data with an API key at /v1/events?region=syria, and the /livemap/ tracker shows ADS-B air traffic and AIS ship positions off the Syrian coast.
