The opponents set fire to Hafez al-Assad's tomb and celebrated on top of it.

On November 27, Wednesday, the opposition in Syria launched an operation that overthrew the 61-year-old Baath regime in just 12 days without engaging in any conflict.

OPPOSITION TARGETS THE TOMB

With the fall of the regime, Bashar al-Assad fled Syria and settled in Russia, while the opposition targeted the tomb of his father, Hafez al-Assad, located in Latakia.

“HE DISPLACED US”

As images emerged of the opposition celebrating while setting fire to the tomb in the village, local residents expressed their reaction to the Assad regime with the words, “The villagers burned and destroyed Hafez al-Assad's tomb. Because he left them hungry, because they hated him. He displaced us, he destroyed us.”
