Thousands protest in Syria marking military operation anniversary

Thousands of Syrians held rallies on the anniversary of a military operation that led to the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, emphasizing national unity and territorial integrity. In cities like Aleppo, demonstrators waved flags and rejected division, while President Ahmed al-Sharaa celebrated the day as a victory and urged citizens to show solidarity across ethnic and religious lines. The operation, led by opposition forces, resulted in the swift capture of Aleppo and the regime’s collapse in December 2024.
