The stunning downfall of Syria's longtime leader, Bashar al-Assad, closed a chapter in the country's decade-long civil war, marking the start of an Israeli incursion into the border region.
Thousands of Syrians now live in areas at least partly controlled by Israeli forces, leaving many anxious over how long the campaign will last.
We're the only part of the country that didn't truly manage to celebrate the fall of the Assad regime because even as the tyrant fell, the Israeli military came, lamented Shaher al-Nuaimi.
The Israeli military presence has raised fears among residents that it could become a prolonged military occupation, complicating any sense of relief from Assad's downfall.
