You heard it here first: Bashar Assad might be dead
You heard it here first: Bashar Assad might be dead
Flight path of a plane that took off from Damascus shorty after news broke that Assad left the city towards unknown destination, which might have been Latakia on Syrian coast which is still under SAA control as of now. Terrain in place where flightradar stopped tracking that plane isn't especially suited for emergency landing
Shortly after crash Syrian Army Command informs officers about fall of the regime https://xcancel.com/Alhadath_Brk/status/1865587913817305454#m
update: it's not spoofed transponder data or controlled landing, locals reported plane crash in the area. rumors so far, but dawn will break soon in Syria and we'll know https://xcancel.com/Schizointel/status/1865593800678130081#m
clarification: there's some chance that Assad went out of Damascus before on other, private jet, so it's not sure and it's all conjecture on unproven information
update 2: there's a claim by Russian media that Assad is in Moscow, so he would have to flee on some earlier plane, but no photos as of now. Still, looked mildly credible at the time

I watched that live. The video from the airport a few minutes before was surreal.

Sorry I don't remember the original source but here's the video. https://files.catbox.moe/2n2y9q.mp4
I don't understand the language, what the recording person is saying?
I have no idea. It was titled something like "rebels take over Damascus airport". Then I went on flight radar and saw the airplane taking off with no destination set.
I can't verify how "real" it is other than I saw it on social media right before that airplane took off and saved it. Everything today moved pretty quickly.
Personally I don't think Assad was on that flight.
Edit: here is the source according to my browser history

well not that many planes taking off from there. either it was this one, previous one, or he's still in Damascus
I think he left Damascus before homs fell.
The military didn't really seem like they wanted to fight for a dictator that already abdicated his throne.
I think we just get to wait and see. 🙈
According to Israeli intelligence this was not the case. We'll know either way very very soon

check matrix it's all in there
I'm an Arabic speaker and I have no idea; it's too lacking in context to understand what he's talking about. He keeps saying "look at this machine", then starts walking and says "look at these people. We said the airport was friendly and no one believed us". There are also a few interjections that don't carry much meaning, but that's the gist of it.
Thank you
Thank you!
