#1 Qalamoun is a sideshow. The Rebels are coming from the north and east.

I don't think Assad has long left. If he doesn't suffer an unfortunate accident, a Russian ship in Tartus would appear his best bet.

The T4 airbase appears the next domino to fall.

#3 The Hizb's fate will be "interesting" if Pencil neck bug off...Their Iraqi "friends" are pretty much useless...Iran is a long way out...unless Pooty Poot decide to wade on in...which is a possibility but not a probability...

#4 If the rebels win, they aint going to stop at the Lebanese border. Scores will be settled.

Note the Nusra statement that Allawites will be safe, as long as they convert to being Sunni, of course.
