How did the Syrian regime fall?

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and armed factions announced their entry into Damascus and the overthrow of the president who had ruled the country for nearly a quarter of a century.

This comes after an attack launched by the factions from Idlib to Aleppo, Homs and Damascus, and this coincided with the president's escape to Moscow.
