On December 9, 2024, Hamas, the Islamic resistance movement, congratulated the Syrian people on their success in "achieving their aspirations for freedom and justice."

In a statement reviewed by Barran Press, Hamas called on the Syrian people to unite and strengthen their national cohesion, emphasizing the importance of Syria's unity and territorial integrity.

The movement reaffirmed its strong support for the Syrian people, honoring their will, independence, and political choices.

This statement follows the Syrian opposition's announcement on December 8, 2024, that they had taken control of Damascus and that President Bashar Assad had fallen, marking the "beginning of a new era" for Syria. This development came after a wide-ranging military operation launched by opposition forces on November 27, which successfully culminated in the end of the Assad family's rule, lasting over five decades.
