The Syrian government's fluid relationships with terrorist groups such as Hizballah and Hamas have been further complicated by the ongoing popular uprising against Bashar al-Assad.

The status of antiregime jihadist elements is also explored, along with broader opposition trends that risk pushing Syria further down the path of civil war.
