— ❗️🇸🇾 Mapped trajectory of the IL-76T that allegedly carried Assad

@Middle_East_Spectator

🇸🇾 The 3D @flightradar24 data of the jet widely suspected of carrying a fleeing Bashar al-Assad indicates it crashed, if the data is correct.

Suicide? Or sabotage?

⚡️🇸🇾 A Local source in Syria informs us that a rocket was launched at around 5:30 AM local time near the military installations of the 4th Division Base, which is known to house A.A missiles.

If true, this means the plane was shot down, assuming the rocket and the noises belonging to it are of a AA nature.

@medmannews

There are now reports that IDF tanks have invaded Syria after an artillery barrage.

The Israeli military has set up checkpoints along the Golan Heights, and all rural areas adjacent to the border with Syria have been declared closed zones.
