Syrian rebel fighters have destroyed the tomb of late president Hafez al-Assad, father of ousted president Bashar, in the family's hometown.
Videos verified by a US Media House showed armed men chanting as they walked around the burning mausoleum in Qardaha, in the north-west of the coastal Latakia region.
The rebels led by Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham swept across Syria in a lightning offensive that toppled the Assad dynasty's 54-year rule.
Bashar al-Assad has fled to Russia where he and his family have been given asylum.
