Many soldiers, largely conscripts, were unmotivated and unprepared for the prolonged conflict. Facing harsh conditions, a lack of clear purpose, and overwhelming opposition, morale among troops dwindled. This was exacerbated by high desertion rates, as many conscripts either fled the battlefield or defected to opposition groups.

Additionally, the Syrian government found itself increasingly isolated. Key allies were either unable or unwilling to provide consistent and effective support.
