The elite Tiger Forces have reportedly redeployed most of its units from the province of Deir Ezzor to northeastern Hama and southern Aleppo to support the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in its clashes against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) in the area. Pro—government sources speculate that this is a sign of the upcoming large-scale advance towards the Abu al-Duhur Airbase.
Members of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have successfully counter-attacked against the SAA and entered the villages of Ramlah and Abisan. Two SAA soldiers were reportedly captured by militants.
On November 30, Ahrar al-Sham said that its members have repelled an SAA attack on its positions in the Armored Vehicles Base in Damascus’ Eastern Ghouta. The militant group added that a battle tank of the SAA was destroyed during the clashes.
Pro-government sources claimed on November 21 that the SAA had restored control over the entire area of the base after repelling the attack of Ahrar al-Sham. However, it appears that the militants still control some positions in the command section of the base.
The US-led coalition has announced that it withdraws the 1st Battalion of the 10th Marine Regiment from Syria. The battalion includes 400 US marines armed with M777 howitzers. The US Marines participated in the Raqqah battle supporting the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has ordered the remnants of the terrorist group to focus on Libya to compensate for losses in Iraq and Syria, the UK-based Saudi newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat reported. The report quoted documents allegedly found in ISIS locations in various parts of Libya, including al-Baghdadi’s letters to 13 of his top supporters. The documents contained orders to turn southern Libya into a new ISIS base, which will be used for operations in North Africa, including Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria.
Meanwhile, Brigadier General Yahya Rasool, a spokesperson for the Iraqi Army, told Fox News that al-Baghdadi is currently hiding in the ISIS-held area on the Syrian-Iraqi border. According to the general, the terrorists’ leader sustained “severe injuries” on February 11 as a result of the Iraqi airstrike on the city of al-Qaim.
If al-Baghdadi is really alive, he and his inner circle will likely attempt to leave the shrinking ISIS-held area in Syria and Iraq soon and to establish a new ISIS base in some African or Asian country. It’s high likely that Libya can become such a country.
Yes, Libya is the logical destination of ISIS survivors. Ethnically it is heterogeneous, basically divided along tribal lines, and thus prone to divisions. However, that is not the chief reason why ISIS will get support from its benefactors. Libya has some of the best crude oil in the world, close to the surface and thus cheaply exploited. As for its ambitions towards Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria, it remains to be seen what it’s success will be, bearing in mind it has been defeated in Iraq and Syria.
“ISIS Plans To Move Its Caliphate To Libya”
… high NATO has thoughtfully prepared for them.
It certainly does seem to be true that all things work together for harm for those who hate God.
I’m not sure nato will mind their man isn’t winning but I do think Russia will keep a close eye on this. The retired General that was Gadaffi close friend for yrs until a falling out is winning and has many friends in Russia was Russian military trained and speaks Russian. He has also been to Russia several time since returning from Amerika to Libya.
Then I could be very wrong but I hope not.
Interesting Russia asked Egypt to use its air fields, looks like Russia is chasing ISIS whever it relocates.
True. However, we shall have to see how Israel and NATO react to this. Imagine Russian combat planes right next to Israel, no doubt followed by Russian ground to air missiles, like the S-400. I dont think Israel is going to like this.
Coincidentally, this terrorist concentration in Libya is happening when israel/zionazis are stepping up their assault on Africa. Imagine that…
And 20 million will swim the pillars of Hercules to reclaim the lost Umah of Spain. Libya will act as a cylinder…daesh as piston…boku harem and kindred demons will act as feeder channels into the cylinder so that the daesh piston can surge north pumping millions upon millions one piston stroke at a time into Europe. Europe is in grave trouble. Millions of brutes now located inside the European castle will go rampage after rampage stretching and breaking down internal security. While the bloodbath soaks Europe from head to toe the piston will deliver its final fatal blows.
Europe is finished.
Europe is suiciding.
“Europe is finished.
Europe is suiciding.”
Wishful thinking? Don’t you count on it. Those who understand and can and will fight make up an army large enough to save Europe. But I agree that such will happen late, much later than desirable, and lots of damage will have been done to our societies. Hey, only 1% of 465,000,000 is quite enough to drain the Euronazi swamp.

The Anglo-Zio-Capitalist tools known collectively as FUKZUSA have been creating Muslim Extremist tools to take over hydrocarbon resources in the MENA since Lawrence of Arabia used false promises of Arab Independence to cover an Anglo-French take over of the Mesopotamian oilfields. Then FUKZUSA fostered Wahabism in Saudi Arabia, subsequently transported Wahabism to Afghanistan where they rebranded it as Al’Qaida, which the AZC Bush regime used to create their 911 false flag atrocity which cloaked the Anglo-Zio-Capitalist takeover of Iraq. In Iraq the US occupiers then rebranded Al’Qaida as ISIL (Islamic State In Levant) and used it as cover for a NATZO takeover of Libya, including an Israeli military base. Then FUKZUSA rebranded their ISIL tool into ISIS (Islamic State In Syria) — check! by Syria and Allies
So a NATZO “strategic withdrawal”: transport the ISIS tool back to Libya where it can be rebranded as Islamic State In Libya (ISIL again) and used as a cover for the war against Libyan Independence. No surprise in that move.
In the age of Putin, NATO’s plundering of Libya isn’t going forward as easily as planed. Even Zion’s ISIS horror show won’t make much of a difference. Epic fail.

A total of 7 missiles fired by Israel towards Damascus, 4 have been intercepted by Syria|n Arab Air Defense in western Ghouta & 3 hit rural Kiswah.
Leith Abou Fadel: “I don’t think we have ever seen a more intense missile battle between Israel and Syria in the last ten years.”

“There is no doubt that al-Qaeda in Syria is in agonising death throes and will never recover in the foresee able future. It reached its zenith in 2013-2015. Like the reaction against ISIS, the societies of the Levant and Mesopotamia will not allow these elements to return: the Takfiri have lost the war (not just the battle). The direct danger to Syria, Iraq and Jordan is over.
The only group that remains compact, united, and stronger than ever, after over six years of non-stop war is Hezbollah. The group has received more support in Iraq, Syria, and Palestine, than ever before. It has gathered more experience in warfare, earned more military bases, and generated the backing of a large part of the Syrian population.”

Former SDF Spokesman Reveals US Created Syrian Rebel Group as a ‘Cover’
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201712021059635930-sdf-kurds-arms-cover-us/
“The former spokesperson of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Talal Silo, who previously fled to Turkey, told the Anadolu news agency on Saturday that the rebel group was allegedly created by the US as a cover to provide weapons to the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) that is thought to be affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) listed as a terrorist organization by Ankara.
“It is only a name. Nothing else. We take everything, including our salaries, from YPG. The U.S. authorities wanted to give arms to Kurds. The announcement of SDF’s establishment was only a drama. The US gave the leadership to the Kurds and PKK,” Silo told the agency.
According to him, the SDF was just signing documents to receive arms, but all of them went to the PKK. At the same time, despite talks about fighting terrorism, the US was trafficking Daesh terrorists via an agreement reached with the regional PKK leader.
He voiced the belief that all the ideas came from Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL (Daesh) Brett McGurk, who allegedly wanted to establish a force, during the Raqqa operation, in the name of the Arab Coalition.
Thus, according to Silo, the coalition provided huge amounts of arms, but only a small part of them went to the Arabs, Turkmens and Assyrians, with all the schemes having been created to “cover that these arms were actually delivered to the PKK. But we were sure that these advanced arms were going to PKK and YPG.”
The US didn’t care where the arms would go and when the YPG claimed that it was “out of arms,” the US would send a new delivery of weapons.
Though, during the Barack Obama presidency the support was limited, the situation dramatically changed, when Donald Trump became president as even armored vehicle started to come to the region, Silo said.”
Syrian Army Displays Foreign Weapons Seized From Daesh Near Deir ez-Zor (VIDEO)
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201712021059642170-syria-army-foreign-weapons/
“The arsenal includes a thousand small arms, a stock of barrels for anti-aircraft installations and large-caliber tank machine guns. In addition, the footage shows that the army units captured several trucks with artillery guns.
Earlier, the Syrian Army reported that the weapons found in the warehouses were manufactured by US and European companies.
In October, local media reported that Syrian troops had found weapons in the city of Mayadin, that had been the largest Daesh stronghold in the region, that were from Belgium, Great Britain and Israel. As the Syrian military noted, the jihadists allegedly received these weapons, which were allegedly purchased under Pentagon programs, in order to help the allies.”
Update-UN General Assembly calls on Israeli occupation to withdraw from Syrian Golan..Munzer:Syria’s sovereignty over Golan is non-negotiable
http://sana.sy/en/?p=119788
“UN General Assembly on Thursday called on the Israeli occupation to withdraw from the occupied Syrian Golan into the line of June 4th, 1967 in line with UN Security council relevant resolutions.
The Assembly adopted a resolution entitled “the Syrian Golan,” submitted to it under the title “the State in the Middle East.”
The Assembly condemned Israel’s non-abidance by UNSC resolution No.497 issued in 1981, affirming that Israel’s decision, released on December 14th, 1981, to impose its laws and administration on Golan is null and void.”
Why China Wants Syria in its New Belt and Road
https://thediplomat.com/2017/11/why-china-wants-syria-in-its-new-belt-and-road/
“According to Chinese foreign ministry, during his meeting with Bouthaina Shaaban, Wang proposed three focal points — counter-terrorism, dialogue and reconstruction –for solving the Syrian issue as “the situation in Syria is turning into a new stage.” He emphasized that anti-terrorism as the foundation, dialogue as the way out and reconstruction as the guarantee.
Regarding “dialogue,” Wang claimed that it is the “only way out” for solving the Syrian issue. “In this process, we must safeguard the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Syria and maintain the core status of the Syrian people in the political settlement process,” Wang said.
Wang also expressed willingness to help with Syria’s reconstruction. He said that “only by advancing reconstruction steadily can we give the Syrian people hope and provide guarantee for the long-term peace and stability in Syria. ”
“The international community should attach importance to and actively support the reconstruction of Syria,” Wang added. “China will also make its own efforts to this end.”
Thus, China, together with Russia and Iran, has become the major potential helper with reconstruction for current Syrian government.
At the regular press briefing on November 29, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang explained China’s motive for actively engaging Syria and other Middle East countries recently. He said:
Too many people in the Middle East are suffering at the brutal hands of terrorists…We support countries in the region in exploring a development path suited to their national conditions and are ready to share governance experience and jointly build the Belt and Road and promote peace and stability through common development.
On November 21, China just delivered 1,000 tons of rice to Syria as part of its food aid plan under the BRI. According to China’s state media, China has already signed three agreements with the Syrian government to provide humanitarian aid to Syria worth over $40 million in the first half of 2017.”
Been a lot of whining on this site about China not helping Syria. This article won’t stop that trolling, but it will provide those who are not websayanim a solid idea of the level of Chinese involvement in Syria and the direction this relationship will probably be heading.
Thanks VT. Keep it comming.

Syrian State TV: Israel Fired Missiles, Three Intercepted Near Damascus
https://sputniknews.com/news/201712051059695658-syria-israel-missiles-intercepted-damascus/
“Israel has targeted a military facility in Syria with a fresh round of missile attacks, according to Syrian TV broadcasters. Just days before, Israeli Air Force missiles destroyed a building in the Syrian city of al-Qiswa where an Iranian military facility was reportedly under construction, the Times of Israel said.
Israeli Defense Forces fired seven or more missiles, according to published reports, but at least a few of them were intercepted.
A report from Syria states the missiles targeted Jamriya, a city approximately 3 miles northwest of the Syrian capital. Witnesses told Reuters they heard three loud explosions and that smoke was seen near the Jamriya area.

According to Sky News Arabic, the missiles were launched from Lebanese airspace. The IDF generally doesn’t disclose many details about its military operations, a spokeswoman said.”
It is not clear if this is reporting a new attack or is about last Friday’s attack. Information has been very confused about the Friday attack, other than it involved missiles of some sort and some of these were intercepted.
