The US-led coalition and the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are negotiating a deal with ISIS terrorists in the city of Raqqah, according to multiple local and opposition sources. According to reports, ISIS units would be allowed to withdraw to Deir Ezzor province where they help their counterparts fighting Syrian government forces.
However, the sides allegedly have some differences over the number of vehicles and arms that ISIS members could take from Raqqah city. By Wednesday, the deal has not been finalized yet.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the US-led coalition released a statement saying that the SDF-linked Raqqah Civil Council and some “Arab tribal elders” work to protect and evacuate civilians from the ISIS-held area. It is not clear how this could be done in a big way without a contact with ISIS.
Some pro-government experts speculated that the evacuation of civilians will be a cover operation for the withdrawal of ISIS members.
On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry accused the US-led coalition of imitating efforts against ISIS in western Iraq. According to the ministry, a low number of the coalition’s airstrikes allow ISIS members to cross the border and join the battle against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) near the city of al-Mayadin in the province of Deir Ezzor.
The ministry added that 59 ISIS members, 4 battle tanks, 3 armored personnel carriers, 14 vehicles equipped with weapons and 2 rocket launchers were destroyed by Russian airstrikes near al-Mayadin.
Clashes for the city are ongoing.
The SAA and its allies have liberated an area of 8,000km2 and taken control over the entire Jordanian border with Rif Dimashq province, according to pro-government sources. Government forces reportedly cleared the entire area from terrorists.
If it is true, this will allow the army and its allies to free a significant force that can be used against ISIS across Syria. The ISIS-held city of Mayadin and the T-2 Pumping Station are obvious targets for this.

The Russian Defense Ministry today revealed that the US side allowed 600 jihadists (ISIS terrorists among them) to be relocated to the west of Syria, thus obviously trying to turn the its base in Al Tanf Syrian-Jordanian border area into a “terrorist black hole”, a thing that gravely violates the international law.
A spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov said today that the Russian side warned its American colleagues that turning the Al Tanf base on the Syrian-Jordanian border into a terrorists black hole is illegal.
Konashnenkov noted that a convoy of vehicles, carrying about 600 jihadists recently took off from Al Tanf area and headed towards the west of Syria, while the US military was only watching.
He called on the American side to provide an explanation for the sudden relocation of the jihadists, carried out under the auspices of its military.
As a result of this relocation, the Ministry expects that de-escalation zone agreement for the south of Syria will soon be thwarted.
“Given the seriousness of the US support for the jihadists, especially the Revolutionary Commando Army which has already received the blessing of the United States, it is not necessary to be an expert to conclude that the southern Syria truce agreement will soon be derailed”, he said.
The Russian Defense Ministry noted that the US side will fully bear responsibility for allowing the peace process in Syria to become sabotaged in that case.

Lavrov calls on US to explain coalition’s behavior in Syria
https://www.rt.com/newsline/406474-lavrov-us-coalition-syria/
“Moscow expects Washington to give a definite answer on the US-led coalition’s actions near Syria’s al-Tanf and the Iraqi-Syrian border, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday. “We often ask about these issues via the channels between the military, this is the main channel to clarify any doubts and suspicions,” TASS quoted Lavrov as saying. “I expect that the military, as people who are precise and business-minded, will get definite answers to their questions from the American partners.” On Wednesday, Russian military cited cases when Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorists freely infiltrated the US-controlled zone and seized humanitarian aid intended for local people.”
Meanwhile, Turkey does what Turkey does best: back stab its nominal “allies” and support jihadist terrorism.
