  • The Syrian government appeared to have fallen early Sunday in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family after a sudden rebel offensive sprinted across government-held territory and entered the capital in 10 days.

The article from MSN, originally published by The New Arab, discusses a surprising event where Syrian state television aired a statement claiming that President Bashar al-Assad had been overthrown. This statement was broadcast during a news segment, causing widespread confusion and speculation. However, it was quickly clarified that this was a hack; the Syrian government denied the claim, and state media soon returned to its regular programming, dismissing the incident as a technical error or a cyberattack. This event underscores the ongoing instability and the information warfare surrounding the Syrian conflict, highlighting the vulnerability of state media to external manipulation.
