In the Turkmen neighborhood of Latakia province, people formed rows for the first Friday prayer. Turkmens, displaced by the Assad regime, began returning to their homes after the regime's collapse on December 8.
Turkmens who returned to the Ali Cemal neighborhood in Latakia after the regime's collapse performed the first Friday prayer at the Rahman Mosque. Experiencing the joy of returning to their homes and being together again, the Turkmens prayed during the prayer.
After the Friday prayer, the people joined the celebrations with "Syrian revolution flags" and chanted slogans expressing wishes for a "new Syria."
On November 27, clashes intensified in Syria. Anti-regime groups gained dominance in the largest cities, including Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs, between November 30 and December 7.
On December 7, as groups began entering the capital Damascus and receiving support from the masses, the Ba'ath regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions, leading to its collapse.
With the end of the Ba'ath Party's 61-year rule, regime leader Assad fled the capital.
The Syrian National Army, after liberating Tel Rifat, which was under the occupation of the PKK/YPG terrorist organization near the Turkish border, turned its focus to the terrorists stationed in Manbij.
