On November 14, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) repelled a joint advance of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Ahrar al-Sham and Faylaq al-Rahman in the Eastern Ghouta de-escalation zone, near Damascus.
The militants attacked the Armored Vehicle Base near the village of Harsta from the northern and eastern directions and used a car bomb to break the SAA defense there. They failed to achieve their goal. SAA Major General Walid Khawashqi was killed during the clashes.
The so-called opposition sees the expected defeat of ISIS as a threat to its security because it would allow the SAA to focus on the militant-held pockets across Syria.
In northern Hama, the SAA and the NDF have liberated the villages of Hasnawi, Qasr Shawi, Muwaylih Shamali, Mhassar, Rabiah, Hamra Silos and Mhassar Hill. The government advance came amid the continued tensions between Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement in the southwestern Aleppo countryside. This opens an additional opportunities for government forces to expand their control in the area close to Abu ad Duhur.
In eastern Deir Ezzor, the SAA Tiger Forces advanced towards the city of al-Bukamal, captured the village of Bir Daham, the hill of Milhim and entered the Ward fields.
The situation in al-Bukamal itself remains unclear. The SAA and Hezbollah are clashing with ISIS there.
Russia has never promised the US and Israel a withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced on November 14. He added that the presence of Iranian forces in the country is legitimate.
Lavrov denied Israeli media reports that the US-Russian ceasefire agreement in southern Syria included a Russian commitment to ensure that Iranian-backed forces would withdraw from Syria.
“If you look at who is the greatest danger, it’s just the wards of the United States, various foreign terrorists, militants who are attached to those groups of armed opposition that the US supports,” Lavrov added.
Lavrov’s statement proved that Moscow has much less understanding with Washington and Tel Aviv than the Israeli media wants to show.

is it any wonder team chaos want him gone.
The israeloamericans continue to use provocation against Syria, Russia, Iran and Hezbollah. These sods would love to get the Allies fighting their kurd proxies or even have an american or israeli military asset attacked. The zionazi-gay colonial regime quislings and propaganda machine is all set to go into action using any pretext. What the zionazis need is something they can hype in order to go in and save their almost dead war against Syria. A Russian or Syrian attack on the kurd proxies would suit zionazi, inc. fine.
But there is another way the Allies can clear zionazia and its of all from Syria that the zionazis really have little recourse against. At least against their kurd proxies in northern Syria, who are the only ones now left not universally recognized as terrorists.
Turkish proxies and US Kurdish proxies are engaged in heavy combat in Syria’s Aleppo Governorate

“This is not to say that Russia gave Erdogan a “green light” for further attacks on the Kurdish dominated SDF such as the one currently taking place, however it does indicate that Russia will not step in, even in a quiet capacity to restrain such attacks as it may have done previously. To be sure, Russia will continue to seek a balance of powers in the region, but Russia’s patience with the Kurds appears to have run out.
Instead, Russia is moving into a position whereby, Moscow will use the Kurds as leverage against protecting Syrian territory from future Turkish incursions. Turkey has been quietly setting up shop in Syria’s Idlib Governorate in what can only be described as a prelude to an attempt at long term occupation. This has included the appearance of state-run Turkish post offices on Syrian territory. This is something Syria finds totally unacceptable and it is something that increasingly frustrates both Russia and Iran.
The United States, which previously endorsed Turkey’s military adventurism in Syria, now realises that the presence of Turkish Army troops and paid up Turkish proxies in Idlib and elsewhere in Syria, is going to be one of the biggest long-term stumbling blocs to setting up a Kurdish zone of occupation in northern Syria, one which Kurds have said they hope will stretch from eastern Syria to the Mediterranean.
Against this background, Russia is in a position to both effectively guarantee a hands-off ‘wink and a nod’ approach to Turkey going after the SDF in Syria, while using this as future leverage to force a Turkish withdrawal from Idlib and nearby areas of occupation in Syria.
Turkey cannot afford to alienate Russia and the US at the same time and as Turkey and Russia’s relationship is steadily becoming one of strategic and economic importance, while Ankara’s relationship with the US is becoming one that is increasingly seen by Turkey as an infuriating dead-end, the choice for Turkey is becoming obvious.
Turkey has already expressed solidarity with Russia’s calls for the US to leave Syria. This became most clearly expressed when the Turkish Prime Minister slammed the US for helping ISIS terrorist to safely evacuate from Raqqa. The statement was crucially made only hours after Sergey Lavrov blasted the US along roundly similar lines.”
Can anyone see the pindos attacking fellow nato turk military in Syria? The israeli freakshow might, being self appointed gods and all, but the usa wouldn’t dare due to the probable fatal outcome for nato unity, even existence, and the reprocussions it would have on zionazi policies of using nato in eastern europe to continue mislead the european people of the threat of “Russian aggression”.
Russia accuses US of providing cover for the ‘Islamic State’ militia

“IS to advance American interests
Moscow also accused the US of a plot to create a “pro-American” region on the Euphrates which would continue to oppose the Syrian government. According to the Defense Ministry, the routed Islamic Fighters would be sent back to reclaim the region themselves, but this time they would be flying the colors of the moderate Syrian Democratic Forces. The plans were dispelled by the rapid advance of the Syrian army, Moscow said.
“These facts are conclusive evidence that the United States, while imitating an noncompromising fight against international terrorism for the global community, in fact provides cover for the IS units” in order to use them for advancing “American interests in the Middle East.”

Syria’s Eastern Ghouta: Catastrophic Situation or Heinous Disinformation Campaign?
https://www.globalresearch.ca/eastern-ghouta-catastrophic-situation-or-heinous-disinformation-campaign/5618296
“Earlier, on September 24, another humanitarian convoy with the assistance of Russia entered Eastern Ghouta. The convoy delivered food, medicine and warm clothes for the locals. Later, it became known that most of the supplies had not reached civilians and fell into the hand of Faylaq Al-Rahman and al-Nusra militants, who took all the goods to their warehouses.
Consequently, it is exactly the militants who aggravate the humanitarian situation in Eastern Ghouta, what has been exactly mentioned by Dujarric. In fact, the militants deprived seriously ill women and children of the opportunity to get daily necessities and medicine. It seemed that the United States works hard to achieve exactly this goal: the White House administration has made every effort to deliver humanitarian aid to the starving militants.”
By the way, without going into too much detail, the Western Mass Media has supported the disinformation campaign of the opposition militants on Facebook and Twitter going by the name #AssadBesiegesGhota.
The authors of the campaign created a series of short messages, tweets, photos, and videos, which mainly depict sick and malnourished children with only one purpose – to evoke feelings of pity and compassion among users of social networks around the world.
This action was initiated to show the world community that the people of Eastern Ghouta suffer from hunger. The West tries to make Bashar Assad and the Syrian Arab Army guilty instead of the militants who control the region.”
The jew-nazis controlling israeloamerica, along with their fellow me too nazis, continue to show their abdication from humanity. The things seem hell bent on showing the world they are no longer even human beings.
The US is changing the name of the SDF, a favorite trick, rebranding a terrorist group to make it more difficult for the public to understand who they really are:

The US are in the process of forming a regular army instead of the “SDF” and will actually begin distributing military ranks soon to their chosen officers under American supervision.
‘Lavrov’s statement proved that Moscow has much less understanding with Washington and Tel Aviv than the Israeli media wants to show.’
now waiting for Andrew Kobyrko to tell us how Putin got special/strategic ties with Tel Aviv…
