With "Freedom" in both English (in bottom black stripe) and in Arabic (in top green stripe) in remembrance of the original national flag of Syria after it became independent in 1946 (although there were several changes in both colors and from 3 to 2 stars after 1958); in Toronto, Canada in Sept. 2013.

The national flag of Syria defaced with a colored portrait of unidentified male (perhaps? Syria's new president: Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa (also known by the nom de guerre: Abu Mohammad al-Julani) with his right hand pointed towards Heaven, a pose frequently associated with Muslim fundamentalists; c. March 2025.

Feb. 2, 2025: "Syrian Security forces seized Syrian flags featuring President Ahmad al-Sharaa's image. They warned shop owners and street sellers that selling them will result in legal consequences." The white Arabic slogan on the bottom black line reads (right-to-left): "Manhabek Balleh" or "We love you. Allah (God) bless you". Apparently, these flags were subject to seizure as the unspecified "security forces" were trying to styme a growing "personality cult" favoring al-Sharaa.

Another flag can be seen at https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-01-28-russian-government-delegation-arrives-in-syria-for-talks-tass-reports. On it the national flag of Syria is defaced with a smiling facial image of a younger militaman Ahmed al-Sharaa. This flag was seen at a New Year's Eve celebrations in Umayyad Square in Damascus on December 31, 2024 in Damascus, Syria. (Photo by Ali Haj Suleiman/Getty Images).

Syrian-US combination

image located by William Garrison, 25 September 2020 can be viewed at https://images.jpost.com/image/upload/q_auto/c_fill,g_faces:center,h_537,w_822/464174. It is a handheld flag (or flag-waver) that consists of a white field, with a reverse US flag on a short pole crossed with an obverse Syrian flag on a similar pole, below which are the words FREE SYRIA in green sans serif block capitals. Light showing through the flag reveals the other side is a Syrian national flag.

The "source's" Jerusalem Sept. 25, 2020 website does not identify where or when this Syria-U.S. flag is being used. The article refers to U.S. military action in Syria, but does not specifically inform a reader about where this flag is utilized. With the flag's "Free Syria" slogan being printed in English, one might deduce that it might have been distributed at some anti-Pres.-Assad policy-influencing rally in Washington, D.C. If it had been used somewhere in Syria, one would think that the slogan would have been printed in Arabic.

The flag in question, by Thomson Reuters, has been in use (at least) since October 2015, as this article shows: https://www.businessinsider.com/r-exclusive-congress-probing-us-spy-agencies-possible-lapses-on-russia-2015-10 (date quoted: Reuters, Oct 8, 2015, 1:03 AM).

In the article mentioned above, the same image is seen (located here: https://i.insider.com/5615fbdb5afbd36b718b4567?width=400&format=jpeg&auto=webp) and the picture caption reads: "Syrian-Americans protest Russian intervention in Syria outside a Russian consular office in Santa Monica". Hence, the inscription of "FREE SYRIA" in English and not in Arabic.
