“Nine strike aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, including four Su-24M, four Su-25 and one Su-34 bomber, as well as eight Turkish Air Force’s jets — four F-16 and four F-4 aircraft — are involved in the aerial campaign agreed with Syrian authorities,” Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy, the chief of the Russian General Staff Main Operational Directorate, said at a news briefing in Moscow.
“A total of 36 targets have been struck. I want to emphasize that they have been agreed in advance through General Staffs and commands of aviation groups of the two countries.”
If Militants Take Over Syrian Deir ez-Zor, Civilians Will Face Genocide
“He noted that Deir ez-Zor is in a difficult situation, as the city has been under Daesh forces’ siege for three years.
“Using the overwhelming advantage in numbers, the militants are constantly attacking the Syrian troops’ positions,” Lt. Gen. Rudskoy said. “If the city is captured, the residents will face real genocide. The population of Deir ez-Zor could be completely exterminated.”
Lt. Gen. Rudskoy stressed that the city’s garrison is maintaining resistance to Daesh militants with the help of Russian Aerospace Forces, which are providing the Syrian army troops standing on the defensive with all necessary measures of support, Lt. Gen. Rudskoy added.”
Russian, Turkish Air Forces conduct first joint anti-ISIS op in Syria
“Moscow is also assisting the Syrian Army in its efforts to defeat IS terrorists in Palmyra, Rudskoy told the media, saying that in that region the army has launched an offensive against the jihadists. Yet there are reports, confirmed by several sources, that “a vast quantity of explosives have been thrown into the Palmyra area, to be used by ISIL terrorists to destroy the city’s heritage,” the Russian Defense Ministry warned.
“The actions of the US-led coalition in the Iraqi city of Mosul have generally come down to squeezing major ISIL forces into eastern Syria,” the official said, adding that Islamic State has been “almost freely” moving its forces with weapons and explosives to the Syrian provinces.”
The israeloamericans continue using their terrorist proxies to attack Syria.
Funny how George Bush senior has become the new OJ Simpson. With him in hospital the media has the perfect cutaway to focus on instead of broadcasting Trump’s ascension. Poor old OJ got to be the bunny for dragging the sports watching viewer’s eyes away from the opening of the football World Cup. No gridiron of basketball for year before because of industrial action by the players left the sports viewer starving for something to watch and there could he no way that football could be allowed to fill the void so OJ got the hail Mary pass and the rest is history.
“China will allocate an additional 200 million yuan (around $29.3 million) in humanitarian aid to Syria, Chinese President Xi Jinping has announced.
The aid will be used to help Syrian refugees and all those who have lost their homes as a result of the internal conflict in Syria, Xi Jinping said on Wednesday at the UN Office in Geneva, as quoted by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
In late December, Chinese Ambassador to Syria Qi Qianjin said that China planned to continue providing humanitarian and political support to civil-war-torn Syria.”
Documents gathered at the former ISIL held city of Palmyra offer a rare insight into the internal affairs of the terrorist group and reveal alarm amongst the groups’ commanders at the growing number of cases of homosexual activity amongst its front line fighters.
The documents suggest ISIL’s prolific social media campaigns designed to attract young, foreign woman to the caliphate are being stepped up to in order to directly combat the perceived threat.
Historically, homosexual activity amongst frontline troops has been a taboo subject but amongst military historians the phenomena of men turning to homosexual companionship in the face of death and long isolation from female company is well documented – just as it is amongst the world’s prison populations.
However, spokespeople from the gay community have dismissed the reports coming out of Syria. ‘There would be the same percentage of gay men and woman amongst terrorist groups as any other community.’ Although others joked ‘That perhaps they fear a love of their fellow man would turn into a love of their fellow man and the killing would stop.’
But it is clear from the documents first seen by a Russian speaking news outlet that IS commanders are not taking the situation lightly as rumour and spreading suspicion of an affair between two prominent IS figures continue to grow. Reports suggest the two leaders at the heart of the rumours could be Abu Yusaf, a high-level security commander in ISIL and Mohammed Abdullah, also known as Abu al-Baraa el-Azdi, previously Emir and leader of the former ISIL held city of Derna in Libya, whose fighters recently fled the town. For those outside ISIL held terrirtory it is hard to verify if any of these claims are founded in fact.
What we do know is that punishment of homosexuality within ISIL held territory is violent and brutal with many confirmed cases of accused being thrown from the top of buildings, and these latest documents seem to suggest that ISIL commanders have identified homosexual activity amongst its front line fighters as a serious problem and genuine threat to its activities. ——-
