Syria begins new chapter after Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule ends

Syria is beginning to reshape its future following the end of Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule. The leader of the largest insurgent group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has called for fighters to return to their bases and maintain order as a transitional government is formed. Former Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi al-Jalali, who was captured during the upheaval, is set to oversee state institutions until a new government is established. He has expressed willingness to cooperate with rebel leaders and ensure public safety. In a significant shift, Syrian rebels imposed a curfew in Damascus to consolidate control after their rapid advance. Meanwhile, Israel has moved troops into the Golan Heights, claiming the situation has changed following Assad's downfall, prompting condemnation from the Arab League.
