Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Al-Jalali has left his residence in Damascus to transfer his official powers to the Syrian Department of Military Operations, which is reportedly led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an opposition group. Reports indicate that this transition marks a significant shift in authority, with anti-regime forces and rebel leaders now playing a central role in governance. Al-Jalali is said to have moved to a hotel as part of this handover process, which may involve the establishment of a transitional government.
