Syrian rebel forces have entered Damascus amid reports that President Bashar al-Assad has fled the country by plane for an unknown destination after 13 years of civil war. Prime Minister Mohammed al-Jalali says he is ready to support continuity of governance in the country. It comes only 12 days after the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied factions launched a major offensive in the north-west. The rebels first captured the second city of Aleppo and then swept southwards down the highway to the capital as the Syrian military collapsed.
