— According to most reports, the SAA 25th SMF was one of the only Syrian Arab Army units to actually put up resistance against HTS during the first few days, especially in Hama, alongside a small contingent of Iranian-backed fighters.

When Homs was about to be assaulted, Hezbollah allegedly sent a few thousand fighters to the city in the depth of night. For some reason, instructions from the SAA High Command were quickly given to them, to hand over all of their positions to the SAA, and for Hezbollah to move to the rear together with the SAA’s 25th SMF. They were confused why, but of course they obeyed the order. When their positions were given to the regular units of the SAA, they abandoned them instantly, and retreated, under orders.

This is when things became clear, Hezbollah and the SAA’s 25th SMF realized it was a rigged game, there was no intention to fight, obviously due to some higher up decision, so the 25th SMF was demobilized and they scattered into the outskirts of various regions in Syria, especially in the Western coastal region and the Lebanese border, and Hezbollah also went back to Lebanon.
