Syrian insurgents close in on Damascus, state media deny Assad flight
Briefly

The recent advances by Syrian insurgents toward the outskirts of Damascus mark a significant shift in power dynamics in the region, as opposition forces gain ground.
Hassan Abdul-Ghani, an insurgent commander, announced on Telegram that the opposition forces are now undertaking the 'final stage' of their push to encircle the capital.
The situation reflects a stunning reversal for President Assad, whose military resources seem stretched thin amid a withdrawal of foreign support from allies like Russia and Hezbollah.
As insurgents approach key areas, Syria’s military is responding by reinforcing the central city of Homs, indicating the high stakes involved in this ongoing conflict.
