The Syrian embassy in Moscow is now flying the opposition’s green-white-black tricolor flag, replacing the Assad regime’s red-white-black tricolor following a takeover by rebel forces. Meanwhile, Israel has confirmed striking suspected chemical weapons and long-range weapons sites in Syria to protect its own security interests. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered full control of the buffer zone with Syria in Golan Heights. The U.S. Air Force has conducted more than 75 precision airstrikes on ISIS targets in Syria to prevent the group from taking advantage of the current situation in the country. Additionally, rebels have taken control of Syria, leading to Assad relinquishing control and fleeing the country.
