“Rebel fighters began to enter the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Sunday, according to the fighters and two members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, less than two weeks into a surprise offensive that now threatens to collapse the rule of President Bashar al-Assad,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. al-Assad’s whereabouts were unclear on Sunday morning.”
“The main rebel coalition announced on its Telegram channel before dawn that it had entered the capital and taken control of a nearby prison notorious for the use of torture and mass executions during the Syrian civil war.”
Wall Street Journal: Assad finds himself alone as enemies close in.
