Syrians celebrate as opposition forces enter Damascus and Assad's location remains unknown

Syrians celebrated in Damascus on Sunday after opposition forces entered the capital, marking the first time since 2018 that such a significant advance occurred. Bashar Assad reportedly fled the city, and his current location is unknown. The opposition also captured Homs, prompting Lebanon and Jordan to close border crossings with Syria. Iran stated that the Syrian people should determine their future without foreign interference, while Iraqi officials expressed support for a dialogue on Syria's governance. In response to the unrest, Israel announced it has taken control of a buffer zone in the Golan Heights. The situation remains fluid, with airstrikes reported near Damascus and a curfew imposed by opposition forces in the capital.
