Map of Syrian Civil War (Syria control map): Fighting and territorial control in Syria in August 2018 (Free Syrian Army rebels, Kurdish YPG, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS / Al-Nusra Front), Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), and others). Includes US deconfliction zone, plus recent locations of conflict and territorial control changes, such as Quneitra, Tasil, Al Safa, Al Kara'a, and more. Colorblind accessible. Since late July, Syria's Assad government and allies have completely eliminated both rebel and so-called "Islamic State" (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL) control of the southwestern border area next to Israel and Jordan. IS has also lost territory elsewhere in the southwest and in Syria's far eastern desert regions.

Includes Russia-Turkey-Iran agreed de-escalation zones and US deconfliction zone, plus recent locations of conflict and territorial control changes, such as Daraa, the Golan Heights, Busra, Nawa, Fuaa, and more. Colorblind accessible. Since late June, a rapid government offensive has completely driven rebels out of southwestern Syria's Daraa province, which they had controlled about half of. 

Meanwhile, the government has surrendered an enclave of control within rebel-held northwestern Syria, and the so-called "Islamic State" (ISIS/ISIL) is struggling to hold onto pockets of territory both east and west.
