Ahmad al-Sharaa Survives Two Assassination Attempts
ARK News.. A Lebanese-French newspaper has revealed that the Syrian President has survived two assassination attempts since assuming office in December 2025.
According to L’Orient-Le Jour, Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa has been the target of at least two assassination attempts since taking power in December 2025.
The newspaper, citing diplomatic sources, reported that one of the attempts took place in March, while the second occurred roughly two weeks ago.
It confirmed that the attempts were orchestrated by jihadist groups, including the so-called Islamic State (ISIS).
One diplomatic source told the paper that “ISIS is trying to rally fighters from Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham who oppose the reforms introduced by President al-Sharaa.”
Earlier, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barak, warned of serious threats targeting President al-Sharaa due to his efforts to involve Syria’s various communities and open up to the West.
He noted that extremist factions may seek to assassinate him in order to derail the country’s new political path.
