On Thursday, the Syrian Arab Army Tiger Forces and tribal forces, backed up by the Russian Aerospace Forces, have launched a military operation against in the southwestern part of Raqqah province. Initially, pro-government troops advanced south of Resafa and liberated Bir al Zenati, Bir Itaw and Bir Hiwaran villages. On Friday, they captured Ridgem-Abe el-Kalat Hills and deployed in a striking distance from the Dubaysan oil field and the Bir al-Zamlah crossroad.
According to pro-government sources, the ongoing anti-ISIS operation involves about 6,500 fighters from Raqqah tribes loyal to the Syrian government. However, this number cannot be confirmed independently.
When the Tiger Forces and their allies secure the Bir al-Zamlah crossroad, they will have 3 options:
- To develop momentum southwest of Resafa, capturing oil fields in the area, steadily recapturing the ISIS-held area south of the Ithriyah-Resafa road. The goal of this advance is to secure the western flank of the military grouping that will push to the ISIS-held town of Sukhna from the Resafa direction.
- To launch a rapid push towards the ISIS-held town of Taybah north of Sukhna. The goal of this move is to increase pressure on ISIS units in the eastern Palmyra countryside and to attempt to isolate Sukhna from the northern and southwestern direction.
- To push towards Deir Ezzor. This version was widely promoted by some pro-government media. However, if government forces attempt to reach the ISIS-besieged city, their advance may end as the attempt to reach Tabqah from the Ithriyah direction in 2016. In other words, government forces will retreat after a series of flank attacks from ISIS terrorists.
In any case, the government advance in southern Raqqah will also lead to intensification of clashes between the army and terrorists east of Salamiyah. If government forces capture the whole Resafa-Palmyra road, ISIS units remaining west of the road will be cut off from supplies and reinforcements from Deir Ezzor province and the Iraqi border area.
Meanwhile, government forces made notable gains in the southern desert, recapturing Abu Khashbah, al Ghudaht, at Tayyar and Ard Umm ar Rumum and deploying closer to the full encirclement of the area formally controlled by US-backed militants. Clearing this pocket, the Syrian command is seeking to shorten the frontline in southern Syria in order to free additional forces for operations against ISIS.
Next 7-10 days will be very important for the army and show if the Iranian-Syrian-Russian alliance is able to achieve their key goals, including the lifting siege from Deir Ezzor, on the Syrian battleground before US-backed forces capture the city of Raqqah.
A British citizen was convicted and imprisoned for ***five years*** yesterday in a British court for the ‘terrorism’ offense of driving ambulances to help the people of Novorussia during the neo-nazi onslaught against the people of East Ukraine. He had, in effcet, operated against the jewish propaganda campaign of the BBC (despite having a tiny numerical presence in Britain, jews have held all key positions at the BBC since the 1960s). The BBC told the public that ethnic russians in Ukraine were ‘terrorists’, and the british legal system acts to enforce that lie.
During the last jewish Israeli holocaust in Gaza, the jewish head of the BBC actually travelled to Israel to meet and congratulate the jewish heads of the military campaign that destroyed Gaza. They don’t hide who they are or what they do.
Now the BBC has ***promised*** that Assad will be exterminated, and the wahhabi horrors of Saudi Arabia will take control of Syria. Just as the jews of Israel promised they would holocaust Gaza ***two years*** before that attack. Just as the jews of Israel have promised they are going to holocaust Lebanon and Iran.
These monsters say what they mean and mean what they say. The above guy has gone to prison for five years because of this fact- and fantasies about ‘anti-war’ Corbyn (as is- he’s a 100% Blair loyalist) or ‘losing public support’ May are dispelled by such British government maliciousness.
We are watching a vastly weakened Syrian army (vs ten years ago) gradually take back their country at insane cost with vast amounts of ‘on the ground’ assistance from Russia and Iran. And we watch as the West backed forces that ruined much of Syria are being rebuilt in Israeli and Saudi controlled areas waiting to pour back in and begin the process all over again. And Putin’s repsonse is to reward Israel and Saudi Arabia with trade and weapons and treaties even as the leaders of these two infinitely foul nations spit very publicly in Putin’s face.
For helping the survivors of an ex-Russian region against neo-nazi war criminals, a British man was convicted by a British court as a ‘terrorist’ and given five years in prison. Read that again and again and again and let it sink in. This isn’t a game. This isn’t a joke. Britian isn’t just ‘poking the bear’. The Deep State demons, led by Team Tony Blair, intend the end of Russia- and will use every means to reach this goal.
Russia partnered nazi Germany initially in a ‘pragmatic’ alliance- and Russia makes the fatal mistake of thinking this is a perpetual sane strategy. Today, when Russia partners the West, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi etc- all it does is give legitimacy to these obscene entities in the minds of the sheeple- and makes Russia seem both craven and evil in the opinions of too many sheeple. And first and foremost this is a mind game.
These Southfront reports are ‘propaganda’ (remember the word is ‘truth neutral’ – propaganda may be true, false or a mixture). Propaganda for our side of course. But 99.999% of the world’s propaganda is output from the zionist controlled lie machine – and by hook or crook that lie machine brainwashes the majority of Humans dumb enough to listen to it- even those who think they see through it.
When the arch-Demon Tony Blair rose to power, the police state was his no.1 priority. Today Britain is using computers to target, prosecute and fine ‘low level’ ‘offenders’ with no Human input. Britian is preparing to make cash illegal for ordinary people. Putin, to his dying shame, is implementing a parallel police state in Russia. Power corrupts- and the option to automate many of the aspects of power is a temptation beyond most politicians.
Expressing the ‘wrong’ opinion in Russia or the UK will soon bring automated ‘fines’. Putin is corrupted by the ‘temptations’ Western tech provides- and this corruption is the current most powerful weapon the Deep State uses against Russia.
Since the so-called ‘arab spring’ extreme wahhabi ideologies have spread to muslim areas previously free and western in nature. Far from bringing ‘democracy’, Blair’s ‘arab spring’ brought Saudi dominance- and the cancer is spreading through Malaysia and Indonesia. While you cheer Southfront reports, the Deep State continues to win on every actual front.
Does Russia make even a single effort to hold back the wahhabi tide? No- as I said Russia instead actually rewards and allies with current Saudi rulers- selling the betrayal of Humanity with the ‘excuse’ that it’s ‘good’ for the Russian economy. And Saudi has another hundred thousand terrorist butchers, and tens of thousands of wire guided missile systems waiting to pour into Syria the very second Russian resolve relaxes.
If you think there is hope, do youself a favour and go research wahhabi growth in the last 15 years. The number of women condemned to ‘black bag’ existence in nations that never before witnessed this across the planet. The adoption of ‘sharia’ Law in more and more places. The growth of muslim extremism of all kinds. The mass migration of primitive muslim people from perfectly viable lands into America and West Europe. Every possible region of Earth is being turned into fertile ground for exploitation by Saudi wahhabi horrors- and decent people are brainwashed into thinking themselves ‘racist’ if they wish to oppose this.
Britain recently banned the public release of the goverment report into the funding of extremism in the UK- hardly surprising once you know that every major mosque in Britain is funded by Saudi Arabia. And sadly Putin allows the same in Russia- with the foolish belief that Russia can take Saudi money and yet stay on top of the ‘extremist’ issue.
Sane people would argue
-the spread of wahhabism is to be resisted at all costs
-zionism is a doctrine of pure anti-Human evil
-jewish control of nations where the jewish population is a tiny minority is competely unacceptable, and always represent a racist conspiracy by people who describe themselves as the ‘master race’
Instead, even the leaders of Russia are more than happy with the status quo, allowing the demons of the Deep State to fully exploit wahhabism, zionism and the power base of key areas of jewish dominance to progress anti-Human police state warmongering policies designed to ultimately end the Human Race.
Look again at events in Syria under Russia noses. A decent civilised nation ravaged by war. So many lives ruined. And for what? Does anyone here believe the excuses. This is hurt for hurt’s sake. And in the aftermath every jewish dominated news outlet calls for ***more*** war.
A peaceful Earth could trivially support a population of far greater than ten times today’s number. But an Earth tooling up for war and war and war will always be seen as having too many ‘useless eaters’. The ‘green’ anti-Human propaganda the Deep State always pushes (and so many on our side are stupid enough to swallow hook, line and sinker cos it seems like a criticism of ‘politicians’) is simply a conditioner for massive loss of life in new wars. Fatalism in the young. Yes- Russia’s military victories in Syria play perfectly to the demon’s greater plans. More war. More love of war, and war toys, and war thinking.
Russia never acts to end the forces causing the new wars. When the muslim brotherhood was no longer useful to the UK, Blair’s people simply exterminated this British MI6 psy-op. Would Putin ever dream of doing the same to the Wahhabi horrors? The West plays to no rules, and thus has no limits. Putin plays to rules the British laid down one hundred plus years ago, and thus can never win. Those of you that like a timid Russia are really condemning billions of Humans to death. For when timid Russia is finally backed into one last corner, it’ll have no choice but to unleash its superior nuclear arsenal- just as the demons of the Deep state desire.
Take a pill. Don’t be reading any more news. Go for long walks in the forest or along the seaside.
Pet a dog for hours.
You have lost it.
There is no justice in human life when the dogs of war run loose.
Evil is rampant and deviance is in abundance.
It is all overwhelming your thinking and emotions.
Perhaps Saddam Hussein, last legitimate leader of Iraq, said it best: “They have opened the Gates of Hell.”
ah yes, russia should attack saudi arabia – birthhome of wahabism – just when the saudis are about to flip east and accept chinese yuan for oil sales instead of US dollars which defacto will end the petrodollar standard and bankrupt the West – basically stopping all imperial wars.
yes, aha, putin should do just that… or maybe not :-D
yeah, actually I have a friend living in Qatar and he actually said that there aren`t that many Wahhabi in SA – they`re mostly abroad – a new thing maybe-
We didn`t talk about the executions in SA
Attention! Hasbara attack. Discard.
Bravo Twilight and good pen-name too! For the twilight affects England indeed, overwhelmed by unimaginable hordes of ‘migrants’ bent on effectively “un-englandize” it. And all this supported by the ideological wave of “cultural marxism,” which, in my view, is neither cultural nor marxist.
According to which:
English are oppressors, migrants are oppressed
Christianity is oppressive, Islam is oppressed.
A person who likes to live with people of the same ethnic-cultural background = a racist
Entire UK communities converted into Pakistani (or similar) enclaves = multiculturalism.
Males are oppressors, hence promote transgenderism
Heterosexuals are oppressors, hence promote homosexuality (now rampant even on BBC dramas, as shown in the US.)
And all this in the shadow of the Talmudic goal of turning the goyim into slaves, etc.
I agree, Russia’s incredible willingness to bend to meet Western (Talmudic) requests is frightening. Then I think of Gen. Kutuzov and Stalin and I hang on to a thread of hope.
Latest zionazi propaganda scam about Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, Russia, North Korea, etc.
Hell Valley: Are Iran, Russia and N Korea Making Long-Range Missiles in Syria?
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201707141055551325-russia-iran-syria/
“Speculations about a secret Syrian factory in the Hell Valley producing long-range ballistic missiles with the assistance from Iran, Russia and North Korea is yet another “horror story” which bears no relationship to reality, experts told Sputnik, explaining what is behind the new anti-Assad propaganda attack.
The story of a secret Syrian research factory developing long-range ballistic missiles under the auspices of Iran, Russia and North Korea is nothing but a fantasy aimed at justifying Washington’s interference in Syrian affairs, experts told Sputnik Iran.
On Wednesday Adam Kredo of the Washington Free Beacon reported citing the Syrian opposition news website Zamanalwsl.net that Iran is allegedly building new long-range ballistic missiles at a Syrian secret weapons factory located in Wadi Jehanam, also known as the Hell Valley, with Russia and North Korea “aiding in the endeavor.”
Kredo also quoted Middle East Media Research Institute’s (MEMRI) report that claimed that “the facility is producing long-range missiles as well as M600 ballistic missiles, which is a Syrian version of the Iranian Fateh 110 missile.”
“This facility has a branch in western Hama province for producing chemicals, and that that there is a Russian military base in the region, where North Korean officers once served,” the report added.
While the media outlet suggests that the Hell Valley has become a new “resident evil,” experts told Sputnik that this information bears no relation to reality and is aimed at driving a wedge between Russia, Iran and Syria and justifying new US attacks against Damascus.”
Or israeli attacks. The memri outfit is an israeli disinfo front, so it is clear the israelis are behind this new pile of bs. Expect israel’s propaganda machine in the west to invent further pretext to be used by israel and the cowardly quislings to further greater israeli parasitic interests.
I don’t know why they stopped at that. They should have reported that North Korea is giving Syria and Iran nuclear weapons. That would make their fake news even more interesting.Common sense would tell anyone that the “last” place people would put a missile factory was in an active war zone. But common sense isn’t their “long suit”.
Perhaps they meant in the IsraHell Valley. You can’t get good help these days so everything has a ‘tell’ attached, dragging after any Black Op like some bloody, Shakespearian afterbirth of guilt.
A case in point is the first rebranding of AL CIAda (see how it works?) – ‘ISUS’ – which lasted for about 24 hours until someone must have pointed out the ‘tell’ – ISrael+US – ISUS.
@twighlight. Don’t worry, many a new day will dawn before la crepuscule eternalle. Like George Orwell you see too clearly in the semi darkness, but the light is too strong for your eyes; as though Dante had stopped at Inferno, and did not go on to write Purgatorio, Paradiso. To take one tiny example, ‘Stalin “partnered” with Hitler’ to divide Poland – and only after Poland had “partnered” with Hitler & Chamberlain to divide CzeckoSlovakia – but it gave him time to build the Soviet tanks which crushed Nazi General Guderian. Putin likewise sees all shades – the light, the twighlight and the dark – he plans and acts accordingly. Orwell’s crepuscular fantasy – “the future, think of a boot stamping perpetually on the human face” – is just that: a fantasy which may or may not become true; the fantasy of a clever, well meaning man who has lost faith to act. “The dream of reason produces monsters”. I do not think it mere coincidence that the Axis of Resistance is led by men of faith: Dr.Assad, Rev.Nasr’Allah, Rev.Khomeini and President Putin. Faith gives them courage to fight the darkness, with hope and charity to lighten the pain of living. “Every day a struggle, every place a wrestling ground”.
lovey reply Dr. thanks
I can hardly wait until the narrator of this channel is describing the re-capture of Golan Heights – as astutely as she does of Deir Ezzor
Geez – it seems like the Syrian Army – Iranian – Russian forces are racing against time to get this part of Syria – BEFORE – the friggin’ Yankees get there –
What US backed forces – Isis branding, mercs, the Kurds? The Syrian insurrection is a farce. There is no isis – just mercs and Kurds.
The Kurds will ultimately turn around and cut a deal with Syria. Assad is the only option the Kurds have and they live next door to him.
No matter how many US troops – the situation is untenable – it is now only a matter of time until the liberation of Palestine and the expulsion of the zionists ME outpost.
The latest:
Tiger Forces Update.
“… What we anticipated at Syrper 2 days ago has been confirmed, The Tiger Forces have turned what was under fire control to liberated and advancing in two axis, one toward Mount Bishiri-Der ez Zor, and the other toward al Sukhana.
Oil fields:
Waheb – Fahdeh – Dubaysan
Villages/farms:
Bir Zamlah, Bir Rumaylah, Bir abu Qattash, among many other smaller hamlets.
The Tiger Forces and allies are approaching the small village of al Kadir and the al Kawm Oasis from two directions, down the road from the crossroad at Bir Zamlah and from the side road down from the large recently liberated Fahdeh oil and gas field.
The most likely strategy is that the Tiger Forces are attempting to reach the village of Taybah, just 18 kms north of al Sukhanah, and split once more in the new crossroad toward Der ez Zor and another force toward al Shukhana. With that the Tiger and allies would have two options to advance toward Der ez Zor, through the Mount Bishiri (1st split few days ago) and Taybah split by passing al Sukhana and Mount Bishiri joining the Palmyra-Der ez Zor highway 40 kms east of al Sukhnah and 80 kms toward Der ez Zor.”
Offensive at Humaymah-T2 Front Line Resumed.
“… After weeks of back and forth at the Humaymah-T2 front line, the 5th Corps, Iraqi militias and NDF resumed their offensive, we may hear soon news of fresh advance and the final liberation of these key sites near the Iraq border.”
explains:
How to Win the Battle for Der Ezzor.
“… For long we chatted that the importance to control paved and unpaved roads in battle for Der ez Zor, today it is time to share the importance of 3 mountains that give flanking protection and high ground control of the low lands where the Palmyra-Der ez Zor lays and the desert south of it.
These are the:
Mount Dahiq,
Mount Bishri
Jabal al-Fusayyat
The battle for Der ez Zor will be half won when those 3 high grounds are secured, that would force the following events:
1) Collapse of ISIS in al Sukhanah
2) Collapse of ISIS in al Shulah
3) Block all roads and highway access to Der ez Zor from Palmyra to the Euphrates north of Der ez Zor
4) Force the collapse of ISIS in the Euphrates north of Der ez Zor and south of Raqqa
5) Push ISIS main forces all the way down to Mayaden.
6) Hama/Homs pocket would be sealed and without any possibility for escaping or flanking moves, ISIS would be sitting ducks there and the pocket would be dealt with part by part.
Except by the Hama/Homs pocket, ISIS would be reduced inside Syria, in 1-2 months to a small area in the Mayaden-T2-al Bukamal triangle, and the left banks of the Euphrates side triangle of al Bukamal-Khanuqa gorge and the Iraq’s Sinjar’s border that the PMU liberated.
On a side note, the RuAF is intensely bombing ISIS in the 3 mountains mentioned above, plus all the key sites on the way from where the Tiger and allies are located and the Palmyra-Der ez Zor highway. There is a high level of confidence that the allied forces will approach the outskirts of Der ez Zor in July still.”
For those unsure exactly what the benefits of ceasefires are for the SAA and allies, Ziad Fadel does a brilliant job of spelling it out.
He lists all the positives for the SAA of the ceasefire and concludes –
“These events could not have come at a more opportune time. With Syrian Army forces now enabled to fight in every remaining front, its ally Hizbollah, is now freer to move its own troops back and forth in Lebanon where a war is brewing between the Lebanese Resistance and the Zionist Plague State. I can assure all of you, that this next battle in Lebanon will spell the end of this apartheid abomination – the very end of it when you will see tens of thousands of our troops and every right-thinking Arab patriot rushing the Zionist borders and destroying the very fabric of this diseased settler society.”
He does know what he is talking but a war with Israel ?. . .

Netanyahu Opposes Russian-US Agreement on Ceasefire in South Syria

Sounds like desperation.
By Opposing Syrian Ceasefire, Israel ‘Shows Direct Support for Terrorists’
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201707171055606454-israel-syria-terrorism/
“Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refrained from commenting on Israel’s opposition to the ceasefire deal. “I will leave this without comments. The position voiced by President [Vladimir] Putin is in this regard consistent and well known. In terms of establishing areas of de-escalation, sufficient interaction is taking place among all parties concerned,” Peskov said.
Speaking to Radio Sputnik, Boris Dolgov, a senior fellow at the Middle East Studies’ Center for Arab and Islamic Studies, expressed the view that Israel’s reaction to the Russian-US deal was not surprising, and could be explained by the fact that Tel Aviv supports militant groups that both Russia and the US consider to be terrorists.
“Israel is more and more ‘engaged’ in the Syrian conflict,” Dolgov said.
“This engagement consists of Israeli support for armed groups fighting against the Assad government in the Golan Heights. Israel officially admits that the militants from these groups receive medical treatment in Israeli hospitals. They explain this via the fact that these militants are fighting against the Hezbollah movement, which Israel considers to be a terrorist group,” the analyst added.
Hezbollah, Dolgov said, has been active in southern Syria against Islamist groups, including al-Nusra. “Israel, apparently, disagrees with the fact that as a result of the [ceasefire] agreement, the Islamist militants’ actions against Hezbollah will be terminated. This suggests that Israel, alas, has sided with these groups.”

That, according to Dolgov, means that Israel, having actively intervened in the Syrian conflict, “has taken the side of those groups that the US and Russia consider to be terrorist organizations.”
Straight forward accusation israel supports and aides daesh by Russian media. In Peskov’s response, I detect a feeling of revulsion and disgust with netanyahoo and tell aviv and this obvious threat of continued aggression coming from the goat buggers.
How the pindo tuppence regime reacts will be very revealing about the israeli-american pecking order. Will they ignore it? Obey openly? Obey covertly and set up, with israel, the usual false flag so they can use it as a pretext to break the agreement?
Ziad’s website is the best source on the web for information on the situation in Syria.
I don’t know why it is not listed at the top of this website as one of the Brothers-in-Arms.

Damascus Platform Member Says Israel Shields Terrorists by Opposing Ceasefire
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201707171055618691-russia-israel-safezone-syria/
“Tarek Ahmad, a member of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), a part of the Damascus platform of Syrian opposition, told Sputnik on Monday that he believed the Israeli opposition to the Russian-US deal on southern Syria ceasefire was an attempt to protect the Nusra Front terror group (outlawed in Russia) and its affiliated terrorist groups.
“The Israelis are not just securing their borders in southern Syria, they are also working with Nusra and affiliated terror groups. In fact, there is a lot of evidence of their close cooperation in the Golan Heights and on the southern borders of Syria. Many of the insurgents are going to the hospitals in Israel. They oppose this agreement because they want to continue helping the terror groups as they do not want this crisis to be solved at any price,” Ahmad said.”
