On 27 November 2024, militants from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the former Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, launched a lighting assault on Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city.

Amid the chaos, Armenian born professor Yervant Arslanian was assassinated by a suspected HTS sniper while attempting to flee the assault.

Arslanian had previously worked in Italy on weapons systems and was chief of the Syrian advanced weapons research design team at the Arab School of Science and Technology in Aleppo at the time of his death.

Following the assassination, Syrian-Armenian journalist Kevork Almassian speculated that HTS was not acting alone.
