Mohammed al-Bashir, an engineer who previously led the Salvation Government in Idlib, has been appointed to head the transitional phase in Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8, 2024.

The Tiger Forces militia, led by Brigadier General Suheil al-Hassan, is among the famous parties involved in chemical attacks on civilians.

The Syrian regime and allied forces murdered over 700 people in Daraya—514 have been documented by name—including at least 36 women and 63 children.
