The Syrian government has reportedly deployed battle tanks and artillery guns preparing to take back the militant-held parts of southern Syria and the Golan Heights, the Israeli media says.
The Haaretz daily has even complained that Hezbollah has allegedly established a Golan regional command center claiming that a hundred of Hezbollah operatives and a thousand other local residents linked to the movement operate in southern Syria.
The Israeli leadership sees militant groups, even the ISIS-linked Khalid ibn al-Walid Army, operating in the area as a useful tool in its plan to establish a buffer zone near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. So, any Syrian efforts aimed at wiping out these militant groups or even a possibility of such efforts are a cause of the constant Israeli concern.
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), Liwa al-Quds and the Palestine Liberation Army are preparing for a full-scale military operation against ISIS in the Yarmouk camp area in southern Damascus. According to reports, currently there are about 2,000 ISIS members there that pose a serious security threat to the Syrian capital.
The operation in Yarmouk will likely be started as soon as the last militant stronghold in Eastern Ghouta – the city of Douma – is liberated. A notable number of Jaish al-Islam members still remain there and the evacuation agreement between the group and the Syrian government have not been fully implemented yet because of disagreements within the Jaish al-Islam leadership. If the agreement is not implemented, the SAA will be forced to resume its military actions in the area.
Hundreds of locals from the cities of Hasakah and Qamishli have joined Syrian government forces, the country’s media reports. According to pro-government sources, the newly formed units will be incorporated into the SAA.
It’s interesting that locals from the cities, which are formally located within the area controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), are actively joining government forces even now when the relations between the SDF and Damascus are especially complicated.
A new anti-SDF/anti-US resistance group has appeared in the SDF-held area. The group entitled “Popular Resistance in Eastern Region” has vowed to fight the SDF and US-backed forces in eastern Syria.
Despite the claims that this group is sympathetic to the SAA, there is little known about the group and no facts can confirm its supposed links to the Syrian government. Some experts even say that the group may be a part of the wider PR campaign aimed at pressuring the US to withdraw from or reduce its forces in Syria.
…From Moscow came this announcement by the Deputy Defense Minister of Syria, General Mahmoud Al-Shawwaa, that Syria will “deal” with all occupiers. The statement was made at the 7th Moscow Conference on International Security.
There is a rumor floating around which is quite credible to those of us who have studied British history. The poisoning of the double-agent spy, Skripal and his daughter, Julia, is linked to the horrific fire in Siberia which killed scores of children. The fact that the alarm was turned off while the exits were blockaded all point to another MI6 atrocity meant to embarrass the Russian government. But, think of this, also: Skripal was supposedly poisoned with a type of CW developed in the Soviet Union. Despite the fact that scientists say there is nothing in the way of evidence to implicate Russia, the West is going spastic over this unproven accusation. Julia is now well enough to speak to reporters. That, by itself, is enough to convince anyone that the Russians were not behind this carefully orchestrated farce. Needless to say, the Brits will probably cure Skripal also and make his angry awakening the fodder of even more virulent Russophobic propaganda.
Folks, the reason for all this anti-Putin nonsense is the one fact that the Syrian government now holds over 11 British officers who were liaised with the terrorists in the Ghouta. They were captured 2 weeks ago by Syrian Army commandos and are being held in separate jails around the Damascus area inside heavily guarded military bases. The Brits want them badly before they are used to implicate England in the mess it helped to create in Syria. Damascus won’t budge on this issue and, evidently, the English are assuming Moscow is not putting pressure on Dr. Assad to release them to Old Blighty. Too bad. And they were caught out of uniform, such that they could be executed as spies under international law. Isn’t that a howler?…
We had reports of these Western agents in Donbass and Libya but they were never produced,i take such reports with a pinch of salt although they are more than capable of it,if the Syrians have these terrorists they should be exposed in the full light of day for the World to see.
They might simply be buried. They are MI6 and CIA contractors and burying them in the ground is not going to cause any storm of protest as they are “deniables”
timing is everything and russia is very good at this. if this fact is correct watch the vitriol from the west. is this why the headline news that france wants to send her force to syria replace usa is to distract attention.

from The Daily Mail, UK:
“Trump’s furious Situation Room row with his top general is LEAKED: Chairman of joint chiefs reprimanded him on Syria – so the president demanded immediate pull-out
Trump held a summit in his White House situation room this week on how to get out of Syria – and in an astonishing breach, it has leaked
President opened the meeting with a tirade about U.S. intervention in Syria and asked what it had gotten for the money and American lives
He said ‘nothing’ repeatedly but Associated Press says intensity of Trump’s tone and demeanor ‘raised eyebrows and unease among the top brass’
Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Marine General Joseph Dunford reprimanded Trump saying his approach was ‘not productive’
Trump hit back by demanding immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces and end to aid efforts and had to be talked down by defense secretary”

New Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack Being Reported By All The Usual Suspects.
The western propaganda machine is endlessly impressive. People are so pervasively brainwashed by mass media psyops that they now find it easier to believe that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are deliberately killing civilians with poisonous gas for no reason whatsoever than to believe that the same empire which deceived us into Iraq is deceiving us into Iraq’s next-door neighbor Syria.
There are early reports of another mass casualty chemical weapons attack in Syria, as usual in a region crawling with known terrorist forces, and as usual just as those terrorists are suffering critical defeats. As usual, the attack is placed in a location replete with children and cameras. As usual, all the expected high-profile pro-regime change propagandists are all over it, from the White Helmets to Charles Lister to Eliot Higgins to Julian Röpcke.

Syrian Arab Army clears Israelis out of Golan Heights -!~~~~
Nato versus RF war in the making:
What is happening now in Syria and in much of Iraq is very strange. More than a case study, the rise of the US deployment in the easternmost part of Syria is concomitant with the Turkish military breakthrough towards the Syrian strategic depth or the hinterland of this nation-state. Yet this concordance of ends is based on an antagonism of the means used.
While US forces deploying in northeastern Syria rely on mostly Kurdish-but not only-proxy forces, the Turkish Army, NATO’s second largest land force, relies on recruited additional forces. among the debris of the Free Syrian Army (ASL-rebellion), terrorists released from Eastern Ghouta (the Turkish Army has publicly demanded that they join the ranks of its auxiliary forces) and other rebel armed organizations .
Paradoxically as it may seem, the US forces justify their presence by the fight against Daesh and more likely the need to weigh on the complex policy of the Levant by countering the Iranian influence but especially the Russian presence on the Syrian seaboard. The Turks justify their operations in Syria by the imperative of eradicating any possible autonomous or independent Kurdish entity.
Apparently, the interests of Ankara and Washington clash on this point. In fact, a surprising scenario is being put in place.
Turkish forces are planning to enter Syria to the province of Homs where they have established a first checkpoint. This is revealing in more ways than one.
In private conversation with a wealthy leader of a major oil kingdom in the Arabian Peninsula, US President Donald Trump questioned the value of spending billions of US dollars in Syria and Iraq while questioning the US military presence in Syria. Faced with the protests of his interlocutor, who wanted a greater military commitment in Syria from Washington, Trump retorted cynically enough that he had to pay for it. The prince began to remind him of the hundreds of billions of dollars spent so far when Trump told him, “Without us [the Americans], you will not be holding two weeks at the most, and at the end of the second week, you will travel aboard commercial airplanes in economy class so you can forget about your private jets. ”
Basically, Trump is bailing out the US presence in Syria with greater financial commitment from the Arab Gulf countries to destroy the Syrian regime.
Washington and Ankara are preparing a scenario similar to that prevailing between 1971 and 1975 in Vietnam for the benefit of Hanoi.
By letting Turkish forces advance into Syrian territory with local rebel undercover to fight against Kurdish subversion as US forces complete fortifying northeastern Syria in order to secure invasion bases, the strategists of the Hope to trigger a paradigm shift aimed at indirectly expelling Russians from the Mediterranean coast.
The formation of Arab and Kurdish rebel troops in the Northeast by Washington coincides with the creation of the Syrian National Army (ANS) by Turkey. Turkey plays the role of the spear while for the moment the USA form an expanding shield. It’s a conquest of a new type. Hybrid or H-type. After all, the Spanish reconquista had started from the extreme north-west of the Iberian Peninsula according to the terms of a general US involved and which adheres to the dominant view that Syria and Spain share many similar points.
An invasion? No Sire, it is an expansion in negation under a cloud of real false pretexts where the intentions are lost and the objectives seem more and more vague. The Trojan horse is not far away.
Damascus is aware of this plan. To be able to face it, it is imperative to get rid permanently of this terrorist cancer that became Eastern Ghouta, recaptured to 95%. In Duma, the fighters assassinated the leaders of their “Armies” for negotiating the surrender with the loyalist forces, but their fate no longer seems to suffer the shadow of a doubt. They will be defeated. It is after the liberation of Eastern Ghouta that NATO could move to a higher stage of subversion by turning it into a sort of backward invasion.
Syria, Russia and Iran seem to be preparing for such a scenario. A pro-government military organization called “Popular Resistance Forces Against the US Presence in Northeast Syria” has already begun to target US forces and their allies. Back to basics: only a popular resistance can face an invasion, as strange as it may seem …

Trump Slams Putin, Iran for Backing “Animal Assad” Amid Chemical Attack Claims
https://sputniknews.com/us/201804081063339665-us-syria-trump-attack-blames-putin-iran-chemical-attacks/
“One of President Donald Trump’s top homeland security advisers has said that the US will not rule out launching a missile attack in response to news reports about a chemical attack on a rebel-held town in Eastern Ghouta, Syria.
US President Donald Trump has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moscow and Tehran of backing Syrian President Bashar Assad in light of the reports about the alleged use of chemical weapons in the Arab Republic, adding that Damascus would pay a “big price.”
“If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!” Donald Trump wrote on Twitter.”
Right on schedule. The Syrians effectively prevented the zionazi planned false flags, so now zionazia’s buttbois and grrrrrrls are simply inventing incidents out of thin air.
Obviously, the Skripal false flag was to lead into cw falseflags in Syria and all be used as the propaganda justification for renewed zionazi war against Syria. These turds hash out a plan and stick to it regardless the changing circumstances.
So much for all the propaganda promoted by Trump apologists that he is opposed to the American Empire’s Deep State.
Donald Trump is just a typical American regime criminal–just like Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton etc. ad infinitum….
He psychologically projects America’s own barbarism onto those nations that it is targeting.
America and its allies have been massively arming and backing the “moderate” jihadists in Syria for whom Donald Trump so lovingly expresses concern.
That is the ultimate cause of the conflict in Syria that America and its allies shed copious crocodile tears about.
Moreover, America has bombing and murdering civilians throughout the world–in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Pakistan, and Syria–not to mention aiding Saudi Arabia’s murderous bombing of Yemen–for years.
So drink a big cup of Shut the F*ck Up, Donald, and sit your hypocritical pig ass down–lest you be hunted down for your own war crimes someday.

Moscow Warns Against Foreign Attack in Syrian Areas Where Russian Troops Located
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201804081063336939-moscow-intervention-syria-unacceptable/
“Hoaxes of attacks using chlorine or other poisonous substances by Syrian government forces are continuing to emerge. Another such hoax that has supposedly taken place is the alleged chemical attack in Douma yesterday. At the same time, references have been made to the notorious NGO “White Helmets,” which has been repeatedly caught acting with terrorists, as well as other so-called humanitarian organizations based in the United Kingdom and the United States,” the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry went on to say that it had repeatedly warned about possible provocations involving the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Their major aim is to accuse Syrian government forces of chemical weapons use and justify possible military intervention in Syria from abroad, according to the ministry’s statement.
“It is necessary to warn once again that military intervention under far-fetched and fabricated pretexts in Syria, where the Russian servicemen are deployed at the request of the legitimate government, is absolutely unacceptable and might lead to very severe consequences,” the statement said.”
Meanwhile turkey warns israel’s french quislings:
Almost ‘Invasion’: Turkey Lashes Out at French Troops’ Deployment to Syria
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201804081063337647-almost-invasion-french-deployment-syria/
“If France takes any steps regarding its military presence in northern Syria, this would be an illegitimate step that would go against international law and in fact, it would be an invasion,” Turkish Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli said Saturday.
The statement comes a day after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused France of supporting terrorists by “hosting them” at the Elysee Palace, referring to a delegation of Syrian Kurdish militia welcomed by the French authorities.
Last month, Turkey announced that a French promise to help stabilize a region of northern Syria controlled by Kurdish-dominated forces amounted to support for terrorism and could make France a “target of Turkey.”

Ex-Afghan President Karzai: Only Russia Can Help, Not US Who’s Been Killing Us

“I understand perfectly well that if you [Russia] build new relations with Pakistan and Afghanistan, you can help us. Not the Britons as we kicked them out of the country several times, not the Americans as they’ve been killing us for 17 years, but Russia only. We [Afghanistan] are the last barrier from terrorists. We’ve been fighting continuously for a century and a half,” Karzai toldthe Russian NTV TV channel.
“Moscow has always helped us, even when its forces invaded Afghanistan at the invitation of then-president Babrak Karmal. We surely fought each other at those times, but you [Russia] used to build schools and hospitals in Afghanistan. Americans lie when they say that al-Qaeda emerged as the result of your invasion. They used the war to grow al-Qaeda in Pakistani military camps. They wanted to be the only superpower and they did it. The USSR collapsed and one of the reasons was the Afghan war,” Karzai said.”
