Life in the Syrian capital is slowly returning to normal after the overthrow of former president Bashar Al-Assad and subsequent Israeli strikes that pummelled Syria in one of the most intense campaigns on the country in years.People walk past a cafe in Aleppo, Syria, on Wednesday as daily life returns to normal days after rebels seized the capital, Damascus, and ousted Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad.
At Bakdash, a famous ice cream shop, a poster outside read: "Welcome to the rebels of free Syria. Long live free Syria."Syrians across the city celebrated the fall of Al-Assad, and hoped for an end to the relentless bribery demands that governed much of life. Israel said its forces had destroyed Syria's navy and acknowledged pushing into a buffer zone inside Syria following Al-Assad's overthrow. But it remained unclear if Israeli soldiers had gone beyond that area, which was established more than 50 years ago, and denied it was advancing on Damascus.
