Rebels Destroy Assad Tomb, Marking End of Rule
Rebel fighters have torched the tomb of former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, the father of ousted leader Bashar al-Assad, in the family's hometown of Qardaha, as part of a sweeping offensive that ended the Assad family's 54-year rule. The mausoleum, located in the Latakia region, a stronghold of the Alawite community, was set ablaze, with footage showing rebels and civilians observing the destruction. This act symbolizes the end of the Assad dynasty, which was known for its brutal governance, including Hafez's notorious Hama massacre in 1982. Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia after the rebels, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), captured key cities, including Damascus. The rebel victory is seen as the culmination of a long and deadly civil war, impacting over half a million lives. Despite the regime's fall, tensions remain, as Israel has targeted Syrian naval facilities, and Russia is reportedly withdrawing its forces.
