Late on October 24, the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) accused the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) of attacking its units on the eastern ban of the Euphrates, near Deir Ezzor city.
The incident allegedly took place at Jubaylah.
According to the SDF Press Office, ISIS forces attacked the SDF at the Jafra train station at the same time, but lost 9 fighters and were forced to retreat.
The US-backed force allegedly “repelled” both the attacks and lost no ground in the area. No photos or videos confirming the clashes were provided.
Meanwhile, pro-government sources reported no clashes with the SDF.
Some firefights may take place on the SAA-SDF contact line north of Deir Ezzor because of the growing tensions between the sides. However, it’s wrong to expect that the SAA would launch any kind of military operation against the SDF any time soon.
Meanwhile, pro-Kurdish sources claimed that the SDF entered the oil fields of Azraq and Jarnof on the eastern bank of the Euphrates.
SAA troops advanced further along the road to al-Busariyah and entered Jadid Uqaydat.
The T2 pumping station near the Syrian-Iraqi border remained in the hands of ISIS despite the recent attempts of the SAA to capture it. The situation in the area remains tense.
The SDF has established the Idlib Military Council, an operation room to conduct military operations in the province of Idlib. According to reports, the council aims to fight the Turkish Army and the Syrian Army as well as seeking to establish own control over the province.
The first reports about the SDF plan to create the Idlib Military Council appeared last weekend when Abu Amar al-Idlibi, commander of the Free Syrian Army’s Northern Democratic Brigade (the group is a part of the SDF), said that the SDF is willing to operate in Idlib province. The SDF commander also accused the United States of failing to oppose Turkish actions in Syria.
The SDF may see the Idlib Military Council as a tool to counter the growing Turkish influence in Idlib province before the expected confrontation with Turkish forces south of Afrin.
NATO Keeps Silent About Helicopters Supplying Arms to Terrorists in Afghanistan
https://sputniknews.com/asia/201710261058558711-nato-russia-militants-afghanistan/
“Russian President’s Special Envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov commented at a press conference following the meeting of the Russia — NATO Council in Brussels the new US strategy towards Afghanistan.
Russia is waiting for the reaction of the NATO leadership to evidence of the unidentified aircraft in Afghanistan, which, according to some sources, transports militants in a number of areas and supplies them with weapons.”
There’s remarkable footage of ‘ISIS’ taking out an SAA arms dump stored in the main stadium in the region. A drone drops a bomb on the stockpile at one end of the stadium field- and a little later once the ammunition has started to explode, another drone drops another bomb on a stockpile a little further down. A later camera drone catches the whole field ablaze from a greater distance.
The ‘rebels’ from the East used a similar trick to burn down the biggest ammo dump of the NATO Nazi regime of Ukraine.
Of course, in reality, the ‘clever’ ‘hard’ operations of ISIS are really done by the special forces of the UK, USA, France, Canada, Australia etc- tho really it’s the British. There are current reports in the press about the UK government allowing back into Britain astonishing numbers of ‘ex’-ISIS ‘fighters- but this really tells us how these people were assets of MI6- recruited, trained, armed and financed for the war against Assad, and now rewarded by being feted as they come back to Britain.
The British Empire, like the Roman one, relied on ****insider*** talent to run the conquered territories. The sunni resistance to Blair’s Iraq invasion was run by Brits after the first couple of years- and they eventually became the leadership of the new sunni extremist terror movements, for it was a long term MI6 shell game all along. Most of the USA military machine was unaware of the MI6 operation at the time.
The true upper leadership of ISIS is entirely ***secular***, a fact that has been recorded and proven on numerous previous occasions. But at the bottom ISIS is, of course, an extremist wahhabi operation- the mechanism used by MI6 to funnel young muslim idiots from every crappy corner of the muslim world.
Britian is letting Russian and American forces clash in the end game in Syria, knowing that the USA is on a losing wicket- but hoping for something useful from the fallout. But as I’ve said before, the next stage for Britain in Syria is the activation of sleeper cells across that accursed nation who will engage in campaigns of terror, sabotage and assasination. This won’t shake government control of Syria, but it will persuade many important Syrians that nothing Assad and Russia can do there can save Syrians from the depraved wrath of the West- so they’ll consider switching sides under this psychological pressure.
Anyway this nonsense about the ‘SDF’ and oilfields. Within 6 months Russia will have all the oil resources of Syria safely under government control and productive in the name of ordinary Syrians. Russia is master of this mechanical war progress. Russia conquers, and Russia organises, and Russia rebuilds better than anyone else. It’s a shame the true game involves much higher skills, and far more devious meta activity. While Russia ‘saves’ Syria, it is at the same time condemning Iran to utter destruction by playing the West’s game to the West’s rules in the Middle East.
A “Wagner PMC” mercenary Anton Dobrygin has been killed in a roadside IED explosion in Syria.

The incident happens 1 hour ago, at Panorama Army Base, 3 km far from the front. So ISIS, or whatever it is, can operate behind the front lines, using the up to date technology. This form of guerrilla war has been used by them, and would be used for a long time. I fear that Syrian army isn’t prepared to deal with this threat. On the other hand Russian are fighting with tighten hands, and doesn’t have enough forces in the ground to control all Syria territories. ISIS are paid well to be able to bring their families, wives and children in combat area (800 ISIS wives and children left in IRAQ). This prohibits Russian using drastic methods, in certain areas. Saker Island could be taken in days instead of months if Napalm Carpet bombing would be used. It is true that ISIS has underground facilities, but napalm kills everything above and underground. In Dresden many casualties happened in underground shelters. A German girl decided to go out after the air raid stopped. She survived, but all the family whom remained in the underground shelter, died poisoned by CO2, CO (by products of burning Napalm).
The War on Syria: Debunking “Progressive Left” Narratives
https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-war-on-syria-debunking-progressive-left-narratives/5615477
“The media lies about Syria …and I think media heads should face trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity for the one-sided false narrative they’ve been spreading since the Syrian War began.”
-Janice Kortkamp (November 2016) as quoted in Voices from Syria. [1]
Where is the anti-war movement?
Distrubingly, supposedly “progressive” social justice groups seem to echo the rhetoric of the interventionist lobby.
Democratically elected President Bashar Al-Assad is denounced as a brutal dictator. Terrorist attacks by opposition forces are ignored. The conflict is presented as a civil war and a popular uprising by freedom-loving Syrians as opposed to a foreign-backed insurgency by Islamist extremists.
Groups such as Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) and AVAAZ have lent their credibility to these imperialist narratives.
This week, on the Global Research News Hour we devote the program to a defusing of the propaganda weapons being used to trigger another ‘humanitarian intervention’ this time on the people of the Syrian Arab Republic.
In the first half hour, guest Sarah Abed challenges the heroic narratives around Kurdish freedom fighters in Syria, and explains how Kurdish nationalism has been and continues to be an instrument of US and Israeli imperial ambitions. We then hear Mark Taliano correct the record on a ‘democratic revolution’ in Syria. Finally, a member of the Syrian-diaspora in Canada provides some insights into who the anti-Assad Syrians in Canada are, how they have helped derail social justice movements in Canadian cities, and how they continue to sabotage the unity of the Syrian people.”

Al-Nusra Terrorists Reportedly Hide Chemical Weapons in Idlib Governorate
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201710291058641945-al-nusra-terrorists-chemical-weapons-idlib/
“The agency cited its local sources as saying that the toxic materials are kept in numerous depots in a number of villages and towns, specifically in Ghazleh and Ma’arat Misrin, nine kilometers north from the city of Idlib.
The sources alleged that some of the toxic substances have been made locally, while other chemical weapons were manufactured abroad, specifically in the US.
The informants also pointed out that the terrorist groups operating in Ma’arat Misrin are able to manufacture missiles capable of delivering the toxic chemicals up to 15 km.
The agency warns that al-Nusra terrorists might try to use the chemical weapons against civilians in an attempt to further accuse the Syrian Arab Army.”

Former Qatar Prime Minister: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and USA colluded and coordinated to fund Al Qaeda and destroy Syria
http://theduran.com/former-qatar-prime-minister-qatar-saudi-arabia-turkey-and-usa-colluded-and-coordinated-to-fund-al-qaeda-and-destroy-syria/
“A television interview of a top Qatari official confessing the truth behind the origins of the war in Syria is going viral across Arabic social media during the same week a leaked top secret NSA document was published which confirms that the armed opposition in Syria was under the direct command of foreign governments from the early years of the conflict.
And according to a well-known Syria analyst and economic adviser with close contacts in the Syrian government, the explosive interview constitutes a high level “public admission to collusion and coordination between four countries to destabilize an independent state, [including] possible support for Nusra/al-Qaeda.” Importantly, “this admission will help build case for what Damascus sees as an attack on its security & sovereignty. It will form basis for compensation claims.”
Furthermore, one day before Prime Minister Thani’s interview, The Intercept released a new top-secret NSA document unearthed from leaked intelligence files provided by Edward Snowden which show in stunning clarity that the armed opposition in Syria was under the direct command of foreign governments from the early years of the war which has now claimed half a million lives.
The newly released NSA document confirms that a 2013 insurgent attack with advanced surface-to-surface rockets upon civilian areas of Damascus, including Damascus International Airport, was directly supplied and commanded by Saudi Arabia with full prior awareness of US intelligence. As the former Qatari prime minister now also confirms, both the Saudis and US government staffed “operations rooms” overseeing such heinous attacks during the time period of the 2013 Damascus airport attack.
No doubt there remains a massive trove of damning documentary evidence which will continue to trickle out in the coming months and years. At the very least, the continuing Qatari-Saudi diplomatic war will bear more fruit as each side builds a case against the other with charges of supporting terrorism. And as we can see from this latest Qatari TV interview, the United States itself will not be spared in this new open season of airing dirty laundry as old allies turn on each other.”
Damascus to Consider Raqqa Occupied Until Syrian Gov’t Controls City – Reports
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201710291058644059-damascus-raqqa-occupation/
“Syria considers, and will consider, Raqqa an occupied city until it comes under the control of the Syrian army, the SANA news agency reported Sunday citing an official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry.
According to the source, misleading claims by the US-led coalition about the city’s liberation from Daesh was aimed at dividing the opinion of the international community from the crimes the coalition and its allies allegedly committed in Raqqa province.”
