Fall of Bashar al-Assad’s Regime in Syria After Islamist Offensive

The longstanding dynastic rule in Syria ended on December 8, following a swift offensive by the Islamist rebels of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). With the regime’s collapse, many Syrians, including refugees in Turkey, are hopeful for a return home. Celebrations erupt as prisoners previously tortured under Assad are released. The Syrian military, demoralized and underfed, largely surrendered, allowing Bashar al-Assad to flee to Moscow with his family, where they reportedly sought asylum.
