In Greater Idlib the defences of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and other favorites of the foreign powers supporting ‘Syrian democracy’ are collapsing.
On February 5, the Syrian Army, supported by Russian airpower, took control of a number of villages in southeastern Idlib and southwestern Aleppo including Resafa, al-Dhahabiyah, Ajlas, Talafih and Judiydat Talafih. They besieged a Turkish observation post established near Tal Toqan and reached another one, near al-Sheikh Mansur.
Late on the same day, the army’s Tiger Forces captured the eastern entrance to Saraqib and established fire control over the open roads leading from the town. According to local sources, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and other al-Qaeda so-called freedom fighters started fleeing the town. The Turkish Army had stuck several observation posts right in the area, but these apparently did not help.
Early on February 6, pro-government forces seized the area of Duwayr, cutting off the M5 highway north of Saraqib. Thus, the road through Saramin remained the only way to flee for militants remaining in the town. However, it is under the fire control of the Syrian Army.
Several hours after this government forces took full control of Saraqib.
Saraqib Nahiyah is the largest subdistrict of the Idlib district of the province. The subdistrict is located on the crossroad of the M4 and M5 highways. Its pre-war population was approximately 88,000. The fall of Saraqib into the hands of Damascus and its allies will allow government troops to continue the operation clearing the entire M5 highway and open the road to Idlib city itself.
Right on cue, while the Syrian Army was storming Saraqib, the Israeli Air Force delivered a wide-scale strike on targets in the countryside of the Syrian capital, Damascus, and in the province of Daraa. The Al-Kiswa area, Marj al-Sultan, Baghdad Bridge and the area south of Izraa were among the confirmed targets of the attack.
Syria’s State media claimed that the Syrian Air Defense shot down most of the Israeli missiles before they were able to reach their targets. Pro-Israeli sources claim that the strikes successfully hit Iran-related targets destroying weapon depots and HQs of Iranian-backed forces. The Israeli leadership once again officially confirmed its participation in the club of terrorism supporters in Syria.
Another member of the al-Qaeda Rescue Rangers is Mr Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
On February 5, he vowed that Turkey would deploy locally made air-defense systems along the border with Syria. The President did not provide many details on the matter, but the aforementioned systems were likely the HISAR-A low-altitude air-defense system which will be deployed along the border with Idlib.
Additionally, Erdogan delivered an ultimatum to Syria claiming that “if the Syrian regime will not retreat from Turkish observation posts in Idlib in February, Turkey itself will be obliged to make this happen.” In other words, the Turkish president threatened to declare war on Syria if the Syrian Army does not withdraw from the territory it liberated from terrorists.
Bibi = action
Erdoggy = big mouth
Differentiate!
Anyone, even good minded people, who advocate putting Russia & Syria against Turkey is playing devil’s advocate for the ZioNazis.
“After hydrogen, the most common thing in the universe is stupidity.”- Albert Einstein
Erdogan is providing substantial evidence of the validity of the above quote. He should recognize the ground his troops are standing upon is Syrian; not Turkish. Russia’s priority list probably places Syria above Turkey, so a Turkish attack on Syrian forces would likely not end well for Turkey. Without air cover, Erdogan could not win against Syria. Any Turkish aircraft crossing into Syria would not be returning, but I doubt this is a serious threat; only chest beating bluster.
“… Without air cover, Erdogan could not win against Syria. …”
This is the crux of the matter.
Most people dont understand that those Turkish observation point, that are well inside the liberated Syrian territories, are basically hostages. If Turkey starts a war, the first to get hit are these small bases that are surrounded. They have 0 defenses and are really easy to capture. Erdogan and the Turks are just puttin ga show for the terrorist- Cause if they dont, the terrorist wil go home to turkey, and that, understandably, Erdogan dosent want!
Yes!
Finally someone who gets it
Israeli airstrike on Damascus endangered civilian flight with 172 passengers on board – Russian Defense Ministry
https://www.rt.com/news/480281-israel-strike-damascus-civilian-flight/
” A surprise Israeli strike against Damascus suburbs early Thursday activated Syrian air defenses and put a civilian aircraft in serious danger, forcing it to divert to a Russian airbase in Khmeimim, Russian Defense Ministry said.
The civil Airbus-320 was forced to make the emergency landing on Thursday following an Israeli missile attack on targets in a suburb of Damascus, the ministry said, adding that it had become a “common practice” for Israeli pilots to use civilian aircraft to “shield” themselves from Syria’s air defenses.
The aircraft tried to land at the Damascus International Airport, but was unable to do so amid the surprise attack, which featured some eight air-to-surface missiles fired from four Israeli F-16s outside of Syrian airspace. The country’s air defense systems were engaged during the incident, which took place around 2am local time.
Tel Aviv is perfectly aware of civilian flight routes and air activity around Damascus, day and night, and such reckless missions prove that Israeli strategists could not care less about possible civilian casualties, Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov argued.
“Only due to timely actions of the Damascus airport dispatchers and the efficient operation of the automated air traffic control system, the Airbus-320 managed to… successfully land at the closest alternative airfield,” Konashenkov added.
That was not the first time Israeli fighter jets have endangered civilian craft over Syria, with Moscow criticizing Tel Aviv for putting two passenger flights in danger during an air raid in 2018. Israel has flown hundreds of similar bombing raids on Syria throughout the country’s civil war, claiming to be hitting “legitimate Iranian targets.”

‘Unplanned meetings on Syria convene when UN-recognized terrorists are under attack’ – Russia’s envoy to Security Council
https://www.rt.com/news/480283-idlib-russia-un-security-council/
“Moscow’s envoy to the international body, Vassily Nebenzia, dismissed the complaints as hypocritical – noting that Washington never seems to care about any collateral damage but cries emergency every time Syrian forces make gains against the terrorists.
“The unplanned meetings have a common pattern now: we meet together precisely when the terrorists in Syria are under threat, and the Syrian government is regaining control of its national territory,” he said, adding that Damascus had a “right and duty” to fight terrorism in its own sovereign territory.
These terrorists, I’d like to remind you, are recognized as such by the Security Council.
Moscow already pointed out that Washington still often paints al-Qaeda-linked militants as “moderate rebels” and “legitimate opposition” merely seeking political change in Syria –despite the fact that HTS (in particular its core Nusra) is acknowledged as a terrorist group around the world, including by the US government.”

“Footage provided by Ruptly shows locals clearing the rubble from the streets in the western suburbs of Damascus, where the Israeli missiles landed overnight. Broken glass and pieces of concrete are seen scattered all over the place, along with several vehicles that have apparently burned out overnight.
“As you can see, yesterday the area was targeted by Israel, this area has a lot of car rental companies and many cars were [damaged], thank god the damages were only material,” Asaad Khallouf, the director of the Damascus Countryside industrial area, can be heard saying in the video.”
No doubt the jewnazian regime in israel will claim the cars were Iranian tanks gathering for an attack on israel…
