The Syria theater tracks conflict activity physically located in Syria: Israeli airstrikes on targets inside Syria, fighting involving government and opposition forces, Turkish and SDF operations in the north and east, US/coalition strikes, and Iran-aligned militia activity on Syrian soil. Events whose location is in Syria are tracked here; the same Israel–Iran exchange's strikes that land in Lebanon, Iran, or Israel are tracked under the Iran or Israel/Palestine theaters by location.

Coverage spans the western coast and north (Latakia, Tartus, Aleppo, Idlib, Homs), the interior and south (Damascus, Daraa, Palmyra), and the eastern Euphrates valley (Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa). As elsewhere, events are presented as discrete, geolocated facts with confidence levels reflecting the corroboration we have, not editorial attributions.
