current	11:06, 16 December 2025	4,509 × 3,449 (2.1 MB)	BlueHypercane761	Matching the colors to those of the SVG version of the map. Also, this map is in terrible need of an update, after the 2024 Syrian Opposition Offensive, but I don't have the time to do that right now.

	15:10, 24 May 2020	4,509 × 3,449 (2.21 MB)	Wiz9999	Updating Revolutionary Commando Army & US presence colour to teal.

	00:25, 6 February 2020	4,509 × 3,449 (2.51 MB)	TheHatingNerdino666	Big update as the Syrian Army continues the push towards Idlib.
