On December 6, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the Tiger Forces, Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militias liberated al-Alwai, Sayyal, Ghabrah, Tall Madkok, Hawi al-Ghabrah, al-Ashayir and Bissisat from ISIS and established a full control over the highway between the cities of Deir Ezzor and al-Bukamal in eastern Syria.
The rest of ISIS members had reportedly withdrawn from the Euphrates Valley to Syria’s Homs desert or the desert area in western Iraq.
On the same day, the ISIS-linked news agency Amaq claimed that members of ISIS have downed a Syrian warplane with an unspecified “anti-aircraft” weapon over the village of Tasel. This was the second time in a week when Amaq claimed that ISIS has downed a Syrian warplane. On December 4, ISIS claimed that its fighters shot down some warplane also north of al-Bukamal. However, Amaq was not able to provide any photo or video proofs in the both cases. Pro-government sources rejected Amaq’s claims as false.
Thus, pro-government forces officially established a major route between Iran’s Tehran and Lebanon’s Beirut. The United States and Israel had feared for a long time that such a route could appear and Iran swill be able to provide supplies to Hezbollah in Lebanon and to the SAA in Syria via it. Now, this road is the reality.
The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) denied in an official statement any cooperation with the Russian military and said that the US-led coalition was the only side supporting the group’s operation against ISIS on the eastern bank of the Euphrates.
On December 3, the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), a key fighting force within the SDF, announced during a meeting with Russian military officials that the Russians were backing its advance against ISIS. The Russian side also announced that its aircraft destroyed about 1,450 ISIS targets supporting the YPG. An info about the joint operation room involving the Russians, the YPG and local tribal forces was also revealed.
The US was not happy to see such news in the public sphere and the recent SDF statement just once again shows who is the boss in the so-called partnership relations between the SDF and the US-led coalition.
On December 6, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed during the Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference that Israel has to “act now against Iran” in order to stop the Iranians from establishing “themselves in Syria.” On the same day, US President Donald Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. He also announced plans to relocate the US Embassy there triggering further tensions in the region. It seems the Middle East will face more hard times soon.

The two moves, plus the latest zionazi olympic faggotry against Russia, were timed together and coordinated from tel aviv. The israelis think “the time is now” to go all out.
After all, who knows how long their trump quislings will be able to hold out against those all knowing, all seeing Russian hackers. ;-D
Yes, all out it is. One can see the demonisation of Russia and Putin through the lens of the battle for control of Jerusalem.
If one reads Zechariah 12-14 one can see the religious justification for Israel having set these past recent years the entire ME on fire. What is happening in the ME can only really be analysed by taking into account the religious drivers towards apotheosis. One can see the word “dome” in the text of the cited Zechariah passages. Seeing that word there one can draw direct parallel to the Iron Dome defence system. Is that accidental.?
Dear Saker,
Is Jerusalem a prize for Muslims and Jews only.?
Where is the defender of the Church.?
Is not Russia guarantor of Christians in the Holy Land.?
Is not Russia protector of Temple Mount.?
It shall be thus:
West Jerusalem for the Jews.
East for the Moslem.
Central for Christ.
Zechariah 12 through 14.
Russia was first power to recognize any part of Jerusalem as being Israeli Capital (April 2017).
Trump by giving Israel entire control of Jerusalem to Israel has in effect abandoned Christ and his Church. This is actually a division of Jerusalem by Trump. He has separated the Moslem and the Christian from Jerusalem.
The book says though that the portion allotted for David shall not exceed that for Judah. Christ sprang from Judah. Zionists are Davidists dear Saker.
The last two israeli attacks on Syria saw close to half the incoming missiles neutralised. Compare with actual data from israel’s much vaunted iron dome scam.
Israel Markets ‘Essentially Failing’ Iron Dome Missile Defense System to US Army
https://sputniknews.com/military/201710101058100023-iron-dome-israel-us/
“In 2014, Theodore A. Postol, a professor of science, technology, and national security policy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), may have provided the answer.
After studying a variety of publicly available data, Professor Postol argued the Iron Dome’s intercept rate, defined as destruction of a rocket’s warhead, was “perhaps as low as five percent but could well be lower.”
He moreover foresaw “significant insurance claims” arising in areas successfully defended by Iron Dome, as a successful intercept can at rare best destroy explosive warheads carried by artillery rockets, not pieces of debris from the artillery rocket itself, which will fall whether or not an artillery rocket has been intercepted. The Israelis, he noted, had not provided “any evidence of a reduction in ground damage” that would necessarily accompany the “amazing success rates” claimed for Iron Dome.
Professor Postol’s conclusion was stark — the Israeli government was “not telling the truth about” the Dome to its own population, or the US, which “provided the Israeli government with the bulk of the funding needed” to design and build the “much-heralded but apparently ineffective” rocket-defense system.
Postol’s conclusions were broadly confirmed by Richard Lloyd, a weapons expert formerly employed by Raytheon, who said interceptions “certainly [did] not” detonate rockets’ warheads, so the system was “essentially failing.”
