Arriving in Damascus just hours after his Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebel group led the capture of the city on Sunday, the leader gave a victory speech in the capital’s symbolic Umayyad Mosque.
This was reported by the "AlJazeera".
“We [the Syrian people] are the rightful owners [of this country]. We have been fighting, and today we have been rewarded with this victory.”
“A new history, my brothers, is being written in the entire region after this great victory,” he said before reminding the crowd that it would take hard work to build a new Syria that would be “a beacon for the Islamic nation”.
The leader called for prayers to give thanks for the triumph.
“God will not fail you,” al-Julani said. “This victory is for all Syrians; they were all part of this victory.”
