It now searches for a new identity, as its residents wake up to the post-Assad reality and the thousands of scruffy, bearded militants who have — seemingly overnight — sprouted at every major intersection and state institution.

Videos on social media depict bearded fighters walking down city streets, reassuring Christians and other minorities of their safety.

They are short, tall, flabby, lean, clean-shaven, bearded, bald and pony-tailed.

A bearded man in a life jacket is seen shouting at the fishermen: "I have no strength left," as he is taken to safety, in a video posted by the prosecutor's office.

In a widely circulated video, reportedly recorded in prison, the bearded gangster declares, “There is a desire for revolution in our hearts. Let’s see how much strength the enemy has.”
