Rebels have discovered a collection of luxury cars in the palace of ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Videos show high-end vehicles, including Ferraris and Porsches, in a garage, along with SUVs and motorcycles. Looters also took furniture and valuables. The rebels stormed the palace after a rapid offensive, capturing several cities, including Aleppo. Assad reportedly fled to Russia before the rebels reached Damascus. The government has expressed willingness to cooperate with the opposition for a transition of power. The Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011, saw Assad's regime initially threatened but later supported by Russia and Iran. Recent developments have shifted power dynamics, leading to the rebels' advance toward the capital.
