After the opposition overthrew the regime, Bashar al-Assad fled to Moscow with his family. A video of Assad, to whom Russia offered asylum, has started to be shared again. The footage, claimed to be the first time Assad was captured on camera in Russia, turned out to be from a hospital visit in Aleppo in February 2023.
The era of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has come to an end. The operation launched by the opposition on November 27 removed Assad from his seat in just 12 days. Armed opposition groups, which captured critical cities one after another, finally reached the capital, Damascus. The opposition announced that they had overthrown the 61-year-old Ba'ath regime after quickly taking control of Damascus as well.
BASHAR AL-ASSAD REACHED MOSCOW
It was revealed that Assad, who lost Damascus, was in Russia. Russia also offered asylum to Assad, who reached Moscow with his family.
OLD FOOTAGE SHARED
While news of Assad being seen in Russia spread on social media, the reality turned out to be completely different. It was revealed that the footage belonged to a hospital visit in Aleppo affected by the Kahramanmaraş earthquake in February 2023.
DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIA
On November 27, clashes intensified between regime-opposing armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups gained superiority in the largest cities such as Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs between November 30 and December 7. As the groups began to enter the capital, Damascus, on December 7, the regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions with the support of mass crowds.
As the 61-year rule of the Ba'ath Party came to an end, regime leader Assad fled the capital. The Syrian National Army also targeted the terrorists holed up in Manbij after liberating Tel Rifaat, which was under the occupation of the terrorist organization PKK/YPG near the Turkish border.
