Syrian rebels discover Assad's luxury car collection in Damascus

Footage shows the fleet of luxury car collections found in Bashar al-Assad’s abandoned presidential palace in Damascus, Syria, on Dec 8, 2024 as local residents looting the dictator’s belongings, posing behind his desk and uncovering his large collection of luxury cars.

Rebel fighters and civilians enter his presidential palace unchallenged, entering the sprawling New Shaab Palace and combing through its rooms and grounds.

President Biden said that the three main backers of Assad — Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia — became too weak to support him because of their mistaken attacks on Israel and Ukraine.
