The Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), supported by the US-led coalition’s airpower, artillery and special operations forces, established a full control over the city of Raqqah following a series of successful advances in al-Naim and al-Dallah roundabouts, the national hospital, the municipal stadium as well as other points in the city center.
According to pro-SDF sources, up to 40 ISIS members were killed and 37 terrorists surrendered to the SDF in the final day of the operation.
Following the final push in Raqqah, a US Department of State spokesperson announced that the US “will assist and take, essentially, the lead in bringing back the water, electricity and all of that.”
“The United States and our allies have prepared for next steps and will continue to work with partners to provide humanitarian assistance to those in need and support the stabilization efforts in Raqqa and other liberated areas,” Heather Nauert told journalists.
In other words, the US may try to turn the SDF-held area in northeastern Syria into the US-controlled puppet state.
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Forces cleared the western Euphrates bank between Mayadin and Deir Ezzor from ISIS terrorists. Some pro-government sources speculated that the Tiger Forces even crossed the Euphrates and entered Diban and Ruqayb. But these reports still have to be confirmed.
Meanwhile, the SAA continued developing momentum in the area of Deir Ezzor city. The SAA established control over Junaynah and engaged ISIS members in the northern part of the city. The fighting is ongoing.
In the eastern Salamiyah countryside, government forces cleared the entire pocket that had been held by ISIS members. Now, the SAA would be able to re-deploy some units operating in the area to other frontlines, most likely to Deir Ezzor.
Southfront is being attacked in MI6’s main subreddit on the Syria War. Jewish-nazi butcher squads have closed down palestinian media outlets to coincide with the servile visit of senior Russian officials to Israel. This is just hwo ‘cowed’ the Deep State Demons are on the verge of total Russia victory in Syria. And today Britain’s SAS assassinated a major Syrian war hero- laying down the pattern for Britain’s was in Syria to come.
As Southfront has covered, Syria and Russian forces have been shocked by the size and range of the weapon stockpiles previously held by the ‘rebels’- but in reality the ‘rebel’ side in Syria was a front for the British- and British military experts (following in the ‘great’ tradition of that vile pervert, Lawrence of Arabia) were responsible for the ISIS weapon pipelines, and the methods used to store and hide them.
The Russian tactic has been to eliminate frontline manpower of the enemy, so their giant British provided military resources had too few men to exploit them. But Russia did not expect to find the ‘rebels’ so expertly provisioned.
Now the Syria war enters as new, sickening phase. The British turn to plain terror and assassination. British trained bomber and murder squads are been infiltrated all throughout ‘liberated’ Syria via ‘sleeper cells’. These cells are tasked with murdering local high profile figures (both ‘government’ linked- but also ‘sectarian’ to encourage local sectarian conflicts). The cells are also co-ordinating with Israel to engage in a campiagn of massive car bombs.
Russian military might cannot hope to counter this British terror, as future reports from Syria will prove as Syria experiences the ‘Iraq’ solution. But Russia is trying to craft a ground response, like that it is helping build in Iraq. Widespread policing and ground intelligence activities that try to uncover the British and Israeli formed terror cells before they strike. It will be a futile exercise, and Britain and America intend to engage in waves of air strikes against Syrian government targets once the Russian liberation is complete- in the name of action against Syrian regime ‘crimes against Humanity’- just to keep the situation there ‘hot’.
How bad is the situation in Syria? Well Russian outlets (yes ***RUSSIAN***) boast that Assad only has access to cruddy outdated S200 air defense missiles to protect against Israeli terror- as witnessed with the stories about Syria trying to protect itself again zionist terror via F-35 jets yesterday. But while Putin, under Israeli’s direct command, won’t give the Syrians any means to defend themselves against mass murdering criminal jews, Putin will sell the monsters of Israel, Turkey and Saudi Arabia S400 missile systems if they want.
In conclusion.
1- Russia will complete the conquest of the whole of Syria, and return control of all of that nation back to the people of Syria.
2- Russia will help build a ground network that tries to prevent local on-the-ground terror attacks by British and Israeli formed terror cells.
3- Russia will allow Syria no means to protect itself from air attacks by any of Syria’s neighbours- but Russia will sell those neighbours state-of-the-art systems if they want.
Meanwhile we watch the Deep State moves prepared against outlets like Southfront and RT- and see how Russia is humiliated once again by Israel, as Israel coincides nazi-identical strikes against palestinian media organisations with the servile visit by top Russian officials. As history has taught us, you cannot do business with nazis- and Israel is a more perfect nazi state than was nazi Germany.
And of course if this were the “old days” (sadly it appears people today aren’t as durable as those then). The Syrians would “return the favor” to the British. And squads of Syrian patriots would be infiltrating Britain as I type. And be prepared to strike down British figures responsible for attacks on Syria. The game of “can we kill as many of your leaders,as you can of ours” would be on.And played out until one or the other side (maybe both) asks for it to stop.The one and only reason those in the West dare to plan these terror plots,is they feel with certainly their enemies won’t strike them back. Which is a fatal error for those “enemies”.They lose their one and only way to stop those Western plans by not striking them back.It works the same as with the MAD principle. If they knew they themselves would be killed if they killed others ,they wouldn’t do it.But if they knew they wouldn’t or couldn’t ,that is a whole different picture.
Other southfront reports to check out
Usa had announced is supporting sdf to have Raquaa as enclave apart from Syria……Turkey has ” success” in Idlib taking territory…..Iran is not happy Israel is taking military action in Syria….
So has Shoigu achieved much in his meeting with Israel? There is some ” chatter” about cooperation to bring peace to Syria with Russia?
A few months ago I wrote a couple of comments about what I thought the US plans for Raqqa were. And how it would be a deadly error for Syria to allow them to complete those plans. That if the US puppets were allowed to take Raqqa they would move to create their own “Syrian government”.Russia and Syria allowed that to happen. And as SouthFront is now saying that is probably exactly what the US is going to do.The race is on for all the rest of Syria.However much of Syria the Syrians and Russians can liberate before ISIS is finished ,they can have as Syria.But whatever territory falls to the US puppets will be part of the US “anti-Syria”. And only a war will probably reunite those areas. I’ve accepted that Russia will in the end cave to the US. Their track record is pretty conclusive by now. Sure our side will spin it differently if possible.But the proof is in the results. But the Syrians and Iranians should know better.They should have seen this coming. I’m not the only person that “read the tea-leaves” on that.Were they just too weak to prevent it.Which if so says everything we need to know about the future.Or did they listen to “advise” from others .And were told the US wouldn’t do that (until they did do that of course).If so they need to stop taking that “advise” before it ends up killing them.
There is another reason that Russia and Syria might have allowed the so called SDF/USA to take Raqqa. The SAA is stretched pretty thin at this time, they’ve been fighting for a long time and I suspect their personnel and equipment wear is high. With proper planning, giving the opposing side ‘everything they want’ often creates a strategic trap. A good strategist would figure out how to make the most effective use of the remaining forces while bogging their opponent down in a meaningless and irrelevant location that can be regained at any time.
@JackJC. I think this has been Dr.Assad’s policy since since the beginning of the NATZO invasion: to divide NATZO’s proxies by setting Kurds against ISIS. Having offered the Kurds some sort of autonomy (which meant they would fight ISIS over territory) Dr.Assad could concentrate on mopping up ISIS – which he has done, with his ever-strengthening alliance known as the 4+1 (Syria, Hezb, Iraq, Iran + Russia). This alliance is now formidable enough to quell the snarling treacherous dogs known as the Trump and Erdogan regimes, and bring them to heel.
The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven. A deal made by Hizbullah with besieged ISIS fighters and their families was condemned. The evacuation convoy was blocked in the desert by U.S. drones and air interdiction. Now the U.S. and its allies make a similar deal and let leave its besieged position. They bus those fighters to the Syrian-Iraqi border where Syrian government forces are engaged in heavy battles against ISIS.
The U.S. says: “The Coalition was not involved in the discussions”. That is a lie. Only two days ago BBC News reported on the meeting where the deal was discussed and then made. Here you can see (vid) U.S. General Jim Glynn meeting on October 12 with Raqqa officials to negotiate the deal. While the General claimed at that time that no deal was made, later news and the situation today proves the opposite. ISIS convoys are moving out of Raqqa and the U.S. and its proxy forces are sitting tight and simply watch them leave. No U.S. air asset is blocking the convoy and no Brett McGurk is raving against the deal.
The criticism of the Hizbullah deal in August by the U.S. military was unprofessional. The blockade of the earlier evacuation convoy was childish behaviour. McGurks rants were puerile. To lie today about involvement in the deal making after having invited the BBC to film the negotiations is just utterly stupid. No grown ups seem to be involved on the U.S. side of the Syria conflict.” etc

SAA Discovers ISIS’s Chemical Workshop in Eastern Homs
http://www.syrianews.cc/saa-discovers-isis-chemical-homs/
“On Friday, October 13, 2017, Units of the Syrian Arab Army performing a routine inspection in al-Rabia village discovered a ‘chemical workshop’ left by ISIS terrorists before they fled the village.
Sama TV, Syrian based television channel escorted the SAA units in Homs province eastern countryside when the SAA found the chemical workshop and aired this report: [video with transcript].
We are certain that the Western media won’t hesitate to accuse the Syrian state of using chemical weapons, the question remains: How those western and Saudi backed ‘rebels’ got such chemical materials? The West and their regional allies have been supplying terrorists in Syria especially Nusra Front and ISIS with the most advanced weapons and munition, this would be part of these ‘weapons’.

Also the zionazis who run youtube engaged in their familiar tactics:
“Video also available on BitChute (https://www.bitchute.com/video/ugtZOp54OFAD/), and Flickr (https://flic.kr/p/ZxpqpV), since YouTube deleted our channel for the 2nd time without any valid reason after they re-instate the channel first time without elaborating.”
@vot tak. Re “the zionazis who run youtube” they probably have not noticed that their site is no longer viewed by little me. Because, as psepologists say, “one is not a statistical sample”.
