BREAKING: Syrian Rebels Enter Damascus, President Bashar Al-Assad Flees; Chaos at Damascus Airport
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has reportedly fled Damascus to an undisclosed location as rebel forces entered the capital, marking a dramatic turn in the countryâs 13-year conflict.
The insurgents, fresh off their capture of the key city of Homs, declared Damascus "militarily fallen" amid reports of gunfire and explosions.
Chaos erupted at Damascus airport as it was evacuated, flights were suspended, and passengers scrambled to safety.
Rebels also liberated detainees from the notorious Saydnaya prison.
Assadâs regime appears to be crumbling as opposition fighters make swift advances across strategic regions, cutting off key routes and threatening his stronghold.

Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has issued a stark warning to Israel, accusing it of fueling unrest in Suweida and threatening that further intervention could spark a new regional war. Sharaa declared Syriaâs battle is to unify the country, not divide it, while condemning Israeli strikes in Damascus and southern Syria. The violence, rooted in Druze-Bedouin clashes, has escalated into protests and accusations of sectarian manipulation. As Damascus faces criticism over abuses, Sharaa pledged accountability but vowed to resist Israeli interference at all costs.

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs recent remarks promoting the so-called âGreater Israelâ project, branding it a âdiabolical ideaâ rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regimeâs ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations.
