The Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) carried out a new attack on Turkish-backed forces in the region of Afrin. According to the YPG, 4 members of Turkish-backed groups were killed by the YPG in the village of Mariam.
This was the first YPG attack in Afrin, which become public in October. In September, the Kurdish group carried out about 20 attacks. Most of them took place in the first part of the month.
The decrease of the YPG military activity in the region of Afrin is most likely linked to additional security measures employed by the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) and their proxies.
On October 9, President Bashar al-Assad issued the legislative decree No. 18 for 2018 granting a general amnesty for military deserters inside and outside the country. This amnesty does not include fugitives from justice unless they turn themselves in within 4 months for those inside the country and 6 months for those outside the country.
This development is another step by the Damascus government aimed at supporting the reconciliation process in the war-torn country. It may also impact positively on the return of the Syrian refugees from the nearby states.
Moscow has information on the attempts to re-deploy terrorists from Syria’s Idlib to Iraq but these actions are being cut off, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov said on October 10. He added that “Iraq is dealing with that and it clearly does not need extra terrorists”.
Iran, Syria and Russia have repeatedly voiced concern on redeployment of members of terrorist groups, mostly ISIS and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra). Reports about helicopters of the US-led coalition evacuating ISIS members from the province of Deir Ezzor to the coalition’s bases appear in the Syrian state-run media on a constant basis.
It is interesting to note that the Russian Foreign Ministry has also pointed out activity of “unidentified helicopters” in Afghanistan, where they provide supplies and other logistic support to ISIS members.
The US-led bloc is actively denying these reports denouncing them as “misinformation” and “propaganda. Nonetheless, according to multiple experts and security sources, at least a part of ISIS members successfully redeployed from the Syria-Iraq battleground to Afghanistan and Libya.

I consistently read accounts of these Orcs being helicoptered to safety. Why are none of these ever shot down?
Antoinetta III
Or filmed or more clearly documented?
Wouldn’t it be interesting if someone flew a drone in, got videos of the copter and who was getting on and off, and combined that with radar data showing exactly when it took off, where it went, where it landed, etc?
“Or filmed or more clearly documented?”
Yes.
Good news.
Soon there will not be any more of them left there.
unidentified helicopters – only unidentified because Russian diplomacy protects the criminals.
About the Empire´s war on Russia:
“- The U.S.S. Harry Truman is a carrier of Nimitzclass, nuclearpowered, carries about 70 aircrafts, and helicopters.,( about a medium Scandinavian Airforce:) Crew 3.000 , and an airforce squad of 2.000. From this ship, Carrier Strike Group Eight(8) with cruisers and destroyers, entering now the North Sea.The Nato-exercise Trident Juncture is scheduled to 25/10-/7/11, in the middle of Norway. More than 50.000 persons take part, from 30 nations, with 10.000 vehicles, 70 ships, and 120 aircrafts.Sweden with 2.200 persons, an armybrigade, two Visby-corvettes, JAS-Gripen aircrafts and HomeGuard. The airbase F21 at Luleå(city) will be base for the U.S. aircrafts.”- – – /the Dagens Nyheter:
As I told you before, the military build up, here in Scandinavia, goes far beyond any other known areas, formerly the most peaceful, like outside China, the “Scandinavian pivot”, and even Sweden will be used as a big “carrier”. The main thrust is against the Russian Murman-Bases, and their 2nd-strike capability, that means as I told you that maybe the first nuclear weapons exchange will take place at the Scandinavian shield, with not that dense population as in Central Europe. The role of Finland is somewhat unclear, they have 70, F-16s.
The U.S.Air force will be based in Sweden, this time, there is today 150 US-planes, in Europe, and 150 more can be moved within 2 days. At the Norwegian Rygge airport, USAF will base more aircrafts, just 50 km:s from the Swedish border. If the aircrafts are based in Norge or Germany for the defence of the Baltic States they can only execute one mission a´day, if in Sweden double capacity. Scandinavia will be more and more militarized, maybe more than the Middle East. Here there´s no common IS enemy to combat, but the ten-sions are increasing, in a way people soon losing perspective over, it is compared to the Cold War, 1945-1990, unprecedented and dangerous.We know how a nation will fare, when U.S. are offering protection, left will be an ashtray, and they never leave.The end of Scandinavia and Sweden as we knew them. Soon people will say: Why not join the Nato ? Sweden can’t even form government, now more than 33 days after the general election, 8/9, an ” open nation” without a working parliament, another sign of the crisis, unbelievable..
Think the Russians are more than occupied into Middle East, tying down their resources, and giving them a
bloody nose or two, if possible, bleed them soon white, little by little.Of course Nato and all the others moving their forces to places, where they can excercise, and take positions that opening day of WW3. But in the Middle East they’re giving Russia pinpricks, every day.
is the syrian army itself doing ANYTHING?
any updates?
