Syrian rebel leader Golani arrives in Damascus after ousting of Assad

Syria’s rebels say the leader of Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, has arrived in Damascus, hours after fighters took the capital and said they ousted President Bashar al-Assad.

Identifying him by his real name Ahmed al-Sharaa, the statement on Telegram says he “knelt down” on the ground after arriving in the Syrian capital. A video shows him kneeling in a field and bringing his head to the ground.
