FSA and HTS are about to link up.

A Syrian Il-76 military transport aircraft departed from Damascus International airport a short while ago.

Update: It just turned off its transponder.

Some sources are saying it is carrying Assad to Russia.

Transponder back on: It's headed southwest now.

Russian fighter jets are reportedly airborne over western Syria. At the same time, there are reports of US fighter jets flying from Baghdad to Syria.

It's losing altitude.

Transponder is off.

BREAKING: Reports of an aircraft crashing near Al-Suwayri

The General staff of the Syrian Arab Army has ordered the surrender and disbanding of all remaining units.

An explosion was reported in the area by locals

— ❗️🇸🇾 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.

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.

Clashes are continued to be reported inside Damascus between the remaining Shia fighters and Rebel forces. There are reports of grenades and machine guns being used by the Shia fighters.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced in Toretsk, and captured the city central mine, as well as one of the three main terykons.

This attack started off with an infantry assault on Ukrainian positions on the Terykons, Russian infantry was able to climb the slopes of one of these Terykons, capturing it. This gave them a significant advantage in surveillance and fire power over the Ukrainians to the north.

The next step taken was an advance deeper into the Toretsk central mine. This was the last Ukrainian stronghold in the city, and the Russians already had a foothold in the southeastern part of it. Leveraging their control over the adjacent Terykon, Russian forces managed to seize the rest of the mines, as well as the nearby private residential area.

+ ~0.89km² in favour of Russia.

The Israeli Army Radio reports that the Israeli Army has withdrawn three military divisions from the Lebanese border and redeployed them to the Golan Heights.
