In Syria, a curfew has been declared by rebel forces in Damascus.

The move follows after opposition fighters seized the capital and some key cities ending 24-year rule of President Bashar al-Assad.

The ousted Syrian president is now in Moscow and has been granted asylum. It has been confirmed by some Russia media outlets.

Meanwhile, Israel has seized territory in Syrian-controlled areas of the Golan Heights terming it a buffer zone.

The Israeli military warned Syrians living in five villages close to the Israeli-occupied portion of the strategic area to stay in homes.

In another development, White House has said that the US military struck seventy-five ISIS-related targets across Syria.
