"Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS; Arabic: هيئة تحرير الشام, romanized: Hayʼat Taḥrīr aš-Šām[54], lit. 'Organization for the Liberation of the Levant' or 'Levant Liberation Committee'),[51] commonly referred to as Tahrir al-Sham, is a Sunni Islamist[55]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahrir_al-Sham not so sure but Sunni are the more radical islamic religious group?
The vast majority of Muslims are members of the Sunni branch, like 90%. Its differentiating factor is not being more radical, but mostly about the succession of Muhammad, especially compared to the Shia branch.
Sunni is just a branch, there are two main branches Sunni and shia, neither are particularly more radical than the other. Kind of like Catholic and protestant christians
did u know there are WAY more branches of Islam: Alawite being the most moderate (?) one https://sh.itjust.works/post/29207324
Confusion and fear have swept through Bashar al-Assad's Alawite sect and other loyalist communities since his fall, with many questioning how the collapse was so rapid after so many of their members had died to keep him in power. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/assad-loyalists-shaken-by-his-fall-some-relieved-by-lack-violence-2024-12-08/

Too soon to know much for sure, but this could be fucking wild if it's really at face value.
