A plane has departed Damascus Int’l Airport likely carrying Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. - Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

There is a link to an article from an Arab news site (syriahr.com) in Steve Herman's post. Here's the link but I'm not sure it's going to render properly on here: https://www.syriahr.com/%d8%a7%d9%86%d8%b3%d8%ad%d8%a7%d8%a8-%d8%b9%d9%86%d8%a7%d8%b5%d8%b1-%d9%88%d8%b6%d8%a8%d8%a7%d8%b7-%d9%82%d9%88%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%86%d8%b8%d8%a7%d9%85-%d9%85%d9%86-%d9%85%d8%b7%d8%a7%d8%b1/739833/

This is the track on Flightradar24. I don't have access to altitude information. But this plane goes off the radar at 02:41 UTC. It either crashed or they turned off the transponder. But it was really close to the ground when it vanished from Flightradar24 website.
