Unidentified individuals have allegedly opened the grave of former Syrian President Hafez Assad in his hometown of Kardaha, Latakia, and stolen his remains. Images circulating on social media show the grave empty. Hafez Assad, who ruled Syria for three decades, died in 2000 and was succeeded by his son Bashar Assad. The site had already been set on fire following the fall of the Assad regime. The motives and perpetrators remain unknown.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets after Friday prayers to protest Israel’s recent attacks on the country. The largest gatherings occurred in the capital, Tehran, where demonstrators marched following prayers at Tehran University.
High-ranking officials, including Iran’s Constitutional Court head Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei and former IRGC commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, joined the protest. Participants waved Iranian, Palestinian, and resistance group flags, and trampled on Israeli and US flags laid on the ground.
Protesters held banners reading “Down with Israel”, “Down with the US”, and “The Zionist regime will be destroyed”, while chanting slogans such as “We stand behind our leader”, “Everyone who clashed with Khamenei will eventually be destroyed”, and “Our right to nuclear weapons”.
