According to BBC, local residents complain about looting as some people break into houses. However, these people are not rebels but residents of the suburbs. Many people came to the palace, carried away or destroyed all belongings. Rebels also arrived to stop this.

Experts are currently unable to confirm whether the garage in the photo actually belonged to Assad. There are also photos of the personal bunker of Maher Assad, the brother of the former president.

The leader of the rebel group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham also made a speech in central Damascus before a crowd and declared that the fall of Assad's regime is a victory. He accused the regime of holding thousands of innocent citizens as prisoners.

There was also a risk of an air crash when Assad's plane disappeared from radar.
