Sun Dec 08 07:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Rebel Claims Video Shows Entry into Assad’s Damascus Home Amidst Reported Regime Collapse
**DAMASCUS, Syria (December 8, 2024)** – A video circulating on social media purports to show an individual inside the Damascus home of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the upscale Malki neighborhood. The footage, which has not been independently verified, shows the unidentified person vandalizing portraits of the Assad family and boasting of being among the first to enter the residence following the reported fall of the regime. The individual also claims intentions to visit the presidential palace in the nearby Muhajirin neighborhood.
The video’s emergence follows earlier footage showing members of the presidential guard fleeing the area surrounding Assad’s Malki home. This apparent security lapse may explain the ease with which the individual in the video allegedly accessed the property. Opposition groups have claimed entry into Damascus and the overthrow of the Assad regime, though these claims require independent confirmation. The authenticity of the video remains unconfirmed by independent sources.
