The Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria was overthrown in just 12 days due to the successful operations of opposition armed groups. The deposed leader Assad, who fled the capital Damascus, was granted asylum by Russia, one of his biggest supporters.

According to a report by the Russian news agency TASS, which is based on sources in Turkey, Assad provided the coordinates of military targets in Syria to Israel before fleeing the country.
