Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has fled Damascus, with rebels entering the capital and declaring the "end of an era." Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali stated the government is ready for a power handover. Rebels from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham breached the Sednaya prison, symbolizing Assad's regime’s downfall. Hezbollah forces, once loyal to Assad, have withdrawn, while panic spread through Damascus. The rebellion, which began in 2011 as a peaceful protest, has now led to Assad's ousting, with Syrian soldiers fleeing to Iraq amid the ongoing civil war.
