I think the next target will more likely be the southern pocket around Daraa. Idlib will probably come after the southern pocket.

And the point of all this remains hatred between shias and sunnis?

In this case, it's mainly Alawites vs Sunni Arabs.

Syria's last generational crisis war was a religious/ethnic civil war
between the Shia Alawites versus the Sunnis. That war climaxed in
February 1982 with the destruction of the town of Hama. There had
been a massive uprising of the 400,000 mostly Sunni citizens of Hama
against Syria's Shia/Alawite president Hafez al-Assad, the current
president's father. He turned the town to rubble and killed or
displaced hundreds of thousands. Hama stands as a defining moment in
the Middle East. It was so shocking that it largely ended the war.
