VIDEO| Syrian Rebels Fire Celebratory Gunshots in Damascus, Declare Capital Free From ‘Tyrant’ Assad
Syrian rebels have celebrated their victory in Damascus, firing celebratory gunshots as they declared the capital "free from the tyrant Assad." The dramatic moment follows the fall of Damascus to opposition forces, with rebels claiming the city's capture and the end of President Bashar al-Assad's rule.
The announcement came after gunfire was heard around key military barracks in Al-Midan Square, and tracer rounds were seen in the sky above the Old City.
As the rebels took control of the capital, they called on Syrians abroad to return to a "free Syria."

Israeli forces have reportedly taken control of Mount Hermon’s peak, establishing a new military position overlooking Damascus' southwestern countryside. According to local sources cited by Al Mayadeen, the IDF has been combing the entire peak, seizing military equipment and the wreckage of an Israeli helicopter downed during the 1973 October War. Simultaneously, Israeli tanks and armored patrols have advanced into Syria’s Quneitra countryside, infiltrating the al-Hamidiyah axis toward al-Baath. Reports indicate that Israeli forces have targeted homes and farms in central Quneitra villages while indiscriminately firing on the al-Hamidiyah and al-Hurriya forests.
