Syrians in rebel-controlled Idlib celebrated the assassination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and expressed hopes for the death of Bashar Assad. Videos circulating on social media show jubilant crowds pouring into the streets, holding Syrian flags and handing out candies. Nasrallah's Hezbollah has been a key ally of Assad's regime in Syria since the civil war began in 2011. The militia's presence in Syria expanded to encompass active military engagement in Sunni-majority areas, causing civilian casualties. Idlib is known as the last bastion of Syrian rebel forces opposed to Assad's rule.
