The photo was reportedly found inside Assad's Palace in Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, which was invaded by Syrian rebels on Sunday.

Syrian rebels, who have advanced into the cities of Aleppo and Hama in recent days, obtained a photo of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from his youth in a Speedo, which was circulated on social media on Thursday. 

The photo was reportedly found inside Assad's Palace in Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, which was invaded by Syrian rebels on Sunday.

Almost the entirety of Aleppo is currently in rebel hands, except for a few Kurdish neighborhoods in the north of the city that still remain in SDF (the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces).

The Palace was captured along with the nearby Aleppo Military Academy, during which they claimed to capture Russian air defense systems.
