  • During the Syrian civil war, numerous operations were conducted by the Free Syrian Army. Operations were modest following its formation in late July 2011, but gradually expanded. The FSA would grow in size, to about 20,000 by December, and to an estimated 40,000 by June 2012. By October, the FSA would start to receive military support from Turkey, who allowed the rebel army to operate its command and headquarters from the country's southern Hatay province close to the Syrian border, and its field command from inside Syria. The FSA would often launch attacks into Syria’s northern towns and cities, while using the Turkish side of the border as a safe zone and supply route. A year after its formation, the FSA would gain control over many towns close to the Turkish border. FSA fighters would periodically launch attacks across the border at Syria's northern edge. By September 2012, the majority of Syria's northern frontier was under FSA control. As such, the FSA moved its command headquarters from southern Turkey to rebel-controlled territory of northern Syria, where it continued to launch operations against government-controlled towns and bases. The FSA conducted major operations other regions as well, including in and around the cities of Homs and Damascus. By December 2012, the rebels had captured approximately 60 percent of Syria's territory.
