Amid the sudden disappearance of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from the capital Damascus, speculation are coming up stating that Assad fled to escape from the rebel infiltrators.
In a post shared on the social media handle X, suggests that he fled from a flight that was shot down.
The post read, “Unconfirmed information is being circulated about the sudden descent of the plane that was reportedly carrying Assad after it disappeared from radar and dropped suddenly from an altitude of over 3,650 meters to 1,070 meters in a few minutes, just outside Lebanese airspace north of Akkar. 3D flight radar data of the plane suspected of carrying Bashar al-Assad indicates that it crashed. The Syrian Air IL-76 aircraft’s altitude dropped suddenly, and it seems it was shot down.”
