DAMASCUS - The Syrian constitution and parliament have reportedly been suspended for three months, according to Sawt al-Asima, a news outlet supportive of militant groups that overthrew Bashar al-Assad's government.

The outlet reported the development on Thursday, citing unnamed sources, but did not provide details on how the suspension would be implemented. There has been no official confirmation yet on the matter.

If confirmed, the move would mark a significant step in Syria's evolving political landscape following the rapid fall of al-Assad's government.

A militant alliance led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham waged a major offensive from northern Syria since Nov 27 and had since swept southwards through government-held areas, capturing the capital Damascus within 12 days.
