#1 Videos show perhaps a hundred troops running away with perhaps a dozen vehicles passing them, presumably officers.

Looks to me like Assad's forces are finished in the north. It remains to be seen where they can hold the line.

Reports of Iran supplying 15,000 troops. They will have to arrive by air, which means lightly armed. I doubt Egypt would let them transit the Suez Canal.
