Bashar al-Assad joined hands with Israel and shared secret military information before leaving Syria? Report says..

Former President Bashar al-Assad allegedly shared information about the weapon depot and critical missile locations with Israel.

Days after former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown from power, several reports are emerging in the geopolitical world alleging that Bashar al-Assad had handed over critical military information to Israel, considered an enemy country in exchange for safely leaving the country. Moreover, it has also been reported that the former President gave information about the weapon depots and critical missile locations so that Israel could avoid those during its attacks.

Abdulkadir Selvi, a senior journalist for the Turkish publication Hurriyet, shared an intriguing revelation. He heard from a trusted source that Assad had disclosed the whereabouts of weapon-storage sites, missile setups, and fighter aircraft to Israel. It seems this was a calculated move to stop Israel from targeting and destroying these strategic points during flyovers.

Notably, after Assad’s regime fell, Israel began launching air attacks on various Syrian military positions. Looking at the sequence of events, Selvi could only conclude that the report might indeed be true and worth paying attention to.

Statue of former Syrian president Hafez al–Assad brought down

Syrian rebels said they seized control of the southern city of Daraa on Saturday (December 7), the birthplace of a 2011 uprising against President Bashar al–Assad and the fourth city his forces have lost in a week.

Rebel sources said the military agreed to make an orderly withdrawal from Daraa under a deal giving army officials safe passage to the capital Damascus, about 100 km (60 miles) north.

Social media videos showed rebels on motorcycles and others mingling with residents on the streets. People fired shots into the air at the city’s main square in celebration while others brought down another statue of Syrian President Bashar al–Assad‘s father, Hafez al–Assad, according to the videos.

Reuters was able to confirm the location by the positioning, pedestal, railings and colour of tiles of statue which matched file and satellite imagery. The video was very likely to be filmed on early Saturday, as rebel sources said they had seized the southern city of Daraa. This statue portrays former Syrian President Hafez al–Assad, as per Reuters file imagery showing same location back in 2011.
