The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the National Defense Forces (NDF), the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) military wing and other pro-government factions have liberated from U.S.-backed militant groups thousands km2 in southeastern Syria, including 30 km of the border with Jordan. The recently liberated area includes Tal al-Tabaqah, Tal al-Riahi, Tal Asda, Tal al-Ezami, Bir al-Sout and the Abu Sharshouh crossing other posts and points near the border.

US-backed militants withdrew to the al-Rushd refugee camp where they could hide from government forces attacks and airstrikes. According to pro-government sources, the Russian Aerospace Forces participated the SAA-led advance. This confirms that Moscow supports the Damascus willingness to regain control over its borders and to drive US-led coalition troops out from the occupied garrisons near At Tanf.

The control over the border will also decrease significantly arms and goods trafficking in which so-called US partner forces are deeply involved.

Daesh (ISIS) has been evacuating its members from the key town of Maadan in the southern Raqqah countryside, according to pro-government sources. 

In the eastern Hama countryside, the SAA recaptured Khara’eb al-Katna area, Mount Doyleb and Tal al-Mazrou from Daesh...(…Read More…)

Early July 2017 saw the release of photos showing a single BMPT-72 “Terminator” tank support combat vehicle in service with the Liva al-Quds Palestinian brigade serving with Syrian government forces.

So far there have been no indications the vehicle has seen combat use, and it also appears that the vehicle was sent to Syria mainly for combat evaluation rather than in response to any urgent tactical requirement.

The BMPT concept represents an answer to the need to provide a high volume of suppressive fire against enemy anti-tank guided weapons and static weapon emplacements such as machine-gun nests.

While modern infantry fighting vehicles are usually armed with automatic cannon which can fill that function, their inferior level of protection means they are hard-pressed to truly accompany tanks and are instead forced to provide overwatch fire with anti-tank guided missiles which limits their ability to use their cannon.

The use of anti-aircraft weapons…………………..

Former head of Mossad [Israel’s intelligence agency], Efraim Halevy, defends the country’s treatment of al-Nusra Front fighters on the Syrian border. Efraim Halevy said that he is not concerned that Israel had treated fighters in Syria from al-Nusra Front who some say is al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch. “It’s always useful […] to deal with your enemies in a humane way”, Halevy says. When pressed on whether he believed the assistance was purely humanitarian Halevy responds, “I didn’t say there’s no tactical [consideration]. I said the main consideration, the immediate consideration is humane”. Halevy also says he would not support the treatment of wounded Hezbollah fighters because Israel had been targeted by Hezbollah, but “not specifically targeted by al-Qaeda”…

Benjamin Netanyahu: “We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon and the American struggle in Iraq. Perpetual wars and chaos in the Middle East swung American public opinion in our favour”.

The Syrian Army Air Force carried out intensive airstrikes on the Daesh (ISIS, ISIL, IS…) movement axes and positions in al-Thardah Valley, al-Jafra village and in the surrounding of the Cemeteries area in Deir Ezzor.

The army airstrikes killed and injured a number of Daesh terrorists in addition to destroying their armored vehicles and machineguns-equipped cars.

Syrian Army units thwarted two attacks by Daesh terrorists on military posts in the eastern countryside of Homs, killing or injuring many of the terrorists.

A military source said that an army unit, in cooperation with the supporting forces, clashed on Friday with an ISIS terrorist group that infiltrated from Manoukh village towards military points in Tuloul al-Tafha in the southern side of Jib al-Jarrah town in the eastern countryside of Homs, killing all members of the terrorist group, destroying the weapons and ammunition in their possession.

On the same axis, an army unit bombarded a terrorist group, 4 km east of Jibab Hamad, killing all the members of the group and destroying their vehicles and equipment, according to the source………………..

There is no better proof that the Zionist Settler State is awash in war crimes and violations of international law than its support for Alqaeda, in the former disguise of Jabhat Al-Nusra, n/k/a Hay`at Tahreer Al-Shaam. 

Yesterday, in what appeared to be another fouled-up Zionist military operation against SAA positions near Al-Ba’ath City, the Syrian Army repelled a frontal attack by Alqaeda vultures just as Zionist helicopters fired missiles at civilian residencies killing over 25 with many in critical condition. 

The stinking rat Khazar Zionist cockroaches couldn’t hit the wall of a barn if they had to. 

As they fired at Syrian Army tanks, they were shocked, evidently, to see how effective new Russian armor was and how effective the Sarab 1 anti-rocket system was in deflecting American-made TOW rockets. 

The attack was a disaster. 

Over 17 Alqaeda rodents were killed with scores seen evacuated to noisome clinics operated by Warsaw Ghetto scum near Al-Hameediyya……………

The successful military preparations now being made by allied forces of Iran, Syria, Iraq and Russia for a potential major confrontation to finish off ISIL (Daesh, ISIS, IS…) means the American caliphate’s days in the Levant are numbered.

ISIL days are numbered and a terrible implosion is not coming. There is no more middle ground. It is one or the other. The foreign-backed goons had their days – their patrons too……

The Israeli army is in regular contact with terrorist groups, and has been providing them with growing amounts of aid over the course of the regime-change war in Syria – not just providing medical aid to the wounded, but also giving them weapons, food, fuel, and money to pay their fighters’ salaries.

The US support for regime change is no longer limited to CIA arms supplying schemes for terrorists. This no longer conflicts with the Pentagon regime’s military operations focusing on fighting against the Syrian government and allies. They are now on the frontline of the war for regime change. The sudden military involvement in attacking Syrian government forces does make the US agenda simpler: They no longer depend on their ISIL and Al-Qaeda foot soldiers…………

The US is risking global security for its regime change agenda in Syria and inciting hawkish dictators in Riyadh to move on with more beligerency and warmongering in the region……………….

Virginia State Senator Richard Black: “The establishment of U.S. military base in Syria, a sovereign country that has never taken any offensive action towards America, is an obvious violation of international law: if Syrian election were held now, 90% of votes would be for president al-Assad”

State Senator from Virginia Richard Black said that the establishment of US military base in Syria, a “sovereign country that has never taken any offensive action towards” America, is an “obvious violation of international law.”

The US base in Syria’s At Tanf area is a clear violation of international law, Virginia State Senator Richard Black told Sputnik.

“We’ve even set up a base at Al Tanf in the southern part, it’s an American base within the country of Syria,” Black said.
“You can’t get a more obvious violation of international law than to actually move in and set up a military base in a sovereign country that has never taken any offensive action towards our country.”

“US President Donald Trump”, Black added, “has unfortunately given authority to people “who are not well-intentioned and they are using that military authority in Syria.”
The senator also noted that Russia, Syria, and its allies are “definitely on the move. ”

“There’s no doubt that the terrorists are being thrown back on every front and I think that’s very encouraging,” he stated.

“Right now I would say if you could hold an election in Syria… President Assad would probably be reelected with 90% of the vote and that’s including the terrorist occupied areas”, Senator Black added………………………..

The U.S. has moved HIMARS long-range rocket launchers from Jordan to its base in At Tanf in Syria, Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed, adding that the hardware could be used against Syrian government forces.

“NO ISIS TROOPS IN SOUTHERN SYRIA WHERE U.S. DEPLOYED MULTIPLE ROCKET LAUNCHERS”

The U.S. deployment of multiple rocket launchers in southern Syria may be intended to cut off Syrian government troops from allies in Iraq, since there are no Islamic State militants in the region to target with the weapons, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

According to our data, there are no ISIL troops remaining in the area. Placing there such powerful weapons, which are not suited well to fight ISIL in the first place, is considered by some experts in Russia and other nations as an attempt to create an additional military force, which would prevent the creation of stable channels between government and pro-government forces in Syria and their partners in neighboring Iraq”, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

“If these conclusions are true, one can only regret that the task of creating a single front of relentless fight against terrorism not affected by double standards is being substituted by yet another attempt at geopolitical maneuvering, which abuses confessional differences within Islam”, Lavrov added……………………

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has suspended flights over Syria after Russia said it halted sky incident prevention interactions with the US as of June 19, due to the coalition’s downing of a Damascus warplane.
“As a precautionary measure, Australian Defence Force (ADF) strike operations into Syria have temporarily ceased”, Australia’s Department of Defense said in a statement.
Russian military halted cooperation with its US counterparts in the framework of the Memorandum on the Prevention of Incidents and Ensuring Air Safety in Syria. The statement came a day after the coalition’s attack on a Syrian Su-22 government warplane, which was carrying out operations against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorists 40km from Raqqa.
The US military failed to use the communication line with Russia concerning this attack, despite the fact that Russian warplanes were also on a mission in Syrian airspace at the time, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The ministry added that all aircraft of the US-led coalition in the area of its combat missions in Syria will be tracked by Russian forces as “air targets”.

“ACCORDING TO SEVERAL MILITARY SOURCES OPERATING IN THE AREA, THE FIGHTER JET WAS CARRYING OUT AN OPERATION AGAINST AN ISIS CONVOY, AND IN NO WAY POSED ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT THREAT TO THOSE MILITIA”

In two letters sent to the UN Secretary General and the President of Security Council on Monday, the Syrian Ministry said that the US and its illegal alliance have revealed their real face and the underhanded goal they seek to achieve in Syria when they committed a new crime on June 18th 2017 by intentionally shooting down a Syrian Air Force aircraft while it was carrying out a combatant mission against ISIS terrorist organization on Syrian territory.

The letters stressed that it is shameful that the United States justified its terrible act by promoting open lies through official statements that are far from the truth, particularly since the Syrian fighter plane fell in an area close to al-Rasafa area which is controlled by ISIS, contrary to what the American side claimed, as the pilot was seen parachuting in areas controlled by ISIS terrorists.

The Ministry clarified that the disgraceful US military aggression confirms beyond any doubt the reality of the US position in support of terrorism and which aims to undermine the ability of the Syrian Arab Army which, along with its allies, is the only effective force exercising its legitimate right to fight terrorism across the country.

The Ministry added that this aggression cannot be separated from the crimes committed by the United States and its alliance against the Syrian Arab Army and its allies in al-Tanf area………………………

SYRIAN ARAB ARMY’S WARPLANES IN AL-RASAFAH REGION (IN RAQQA SOUTHERN COUNTRYSIDE) WERE CARRYING OUT A COMBATANT MISSION AGAINST DAESH (ISIS, ISIL, IS) MERCENARY-TERRORISTS.

The Syrian Army General Command announced on Sunday that the air force of the so-called “international coalition” targeted one of the army’s warplanes in al-Rasafah region in Raqqa southern countryside while it was carrying out a combatant mission against ISIS terrorist organization, causing it to down and missing its pilot.
The General command said in a statement that the flagrant aggression undoubtedly affirms the US real stance in support of terrorism which aims to affect the capability of the Syrian Arab army- the only active force- along with its allies that practice its legitimate right in combating terrorism all over Syria.
“The attack stresses coordination between the U.S. and ISIS, and it reveals the evil intentions of the U.S. in administrating terrorism and investing it to pass the US-Zionist project in the region”, the statement added.
It affirmed that such aggressions would not affect the Syrian Arab army in its determination to continue the fight against ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organizations and to restore security and stability to all Syrian territories.

Syria-based journalist Alaa Ebrahim told RT he believes that, by downing the Syrian jet, Washington is aiming to redraw “red lines” in the Syrian conflict and show that it won’t tolerate the involvement of the Syrian government’s armed forces in the liberation of Raqqa.
“The Americans don’t want the Syrian army to advance towards Deir ez-Zor, they don’t want the Syrian army to actually be present as part of the operation to retake Raqqa or to take any part of the Raqqa province,” Ebrahim said.
“The US is trying to draw boundaries in the Syrian conflict and red lines for the Syrian army not to cross them,” he added. 

Moscow views the US-led coalition’s attack on the Syrian government military jet as an act of aggression and assistance for the terrorists that the US is fighting against, according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov……………………….

The Syrian Air Force also carried out intensive airstrikes on ISIS positions and vehicle convoys in the western countryside of Raqqa and eastern countryside of Aleppo.

The Syrian army airstrikes completely destroyed positions and vehicles for ISIS terrorists, killed scores of them, and injured others………………

“The operations of the U.S.-led coalition have contributed to strengthening ISIS terrorists near Palmyra and Deir Ezzor”.

In a press conference, chief of the Russian General Staff’s Main Operational Directorate, Col. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy, said that while the U.S.-led international coalition claims that its aim is to fight against international terrorism, the coalition carries out strikes against Syrian forces, which allow Daesh (ISIS, ISIL, IS…) mercenary-terrorists to get out of encirclement areas,

Russian Defense Ministry: “Syrian Army has reached the Iraqi border, cutting off the Americans at al-Tanf” ~ [English subtitles]

~TURN ON ENGLISH SUBTITLES~

The Syrian Arab Army has reached the Iraqi border, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. Russian ministry officers also accused the U.S. forces of hindering the Syrian war effort against terrorism by blocking SAA attacks against Daesh (ISIS) near the Syrian border with Iraq

While we don’t have a lot of details yet, here’s what we can say: this is a brilliant move if true. Not exactly a checkmate yet, but definitely a check on US ambitions in southern Syria.

In essence, as Americans were busy bombing small Syrian groups entering their declared exclusion zone via the main road, a separate Syrian force staged a lightning-quick advance through roadless desert, well to the east of the “deconfliction” zone enveloping the Americans.

If the U.S. forces are not cut off from ISIS they no longer have an excuse to continue occupying this part of Syria. (Or will they insist they get to leapfrog over the Syrian army?)

Russians are saying it will be them and the Syrians — rather than the Americans — who will be advancing along the Iraqi border towards al-Bukamal (the major border crossing in the Euphrates valley coveted by the Pentagon)

Russian officers also accused the US of hindering the Syrian war effort against ISIS, by blocking its military from opening a new front against the group: “The coalition air forces and the strongholds of the forces of New Syrian Army have blocked the way of the government forces, tasked with defeating IS groups.”

“This is a violation of the sovereign right of Syria to protect it borders.”

Apparently in sync with the Syrian army move south, Iraqi forces likewise advanced against ISIS from their side and met on the border. Thus Syria has not just reached the formal Iraqi border, but actually re-established an actual link to Iraq.

The arrival of the Syrian Arab Army and its allies at the Iraqi border and their control of vast swathes of the Syrian Badia form a strategic turning point in the war on terrorism, the General Command of the Army and the Armed Forces said on Saturday.

“Units of the Syrian Arab Army, in cooperation with the allied forces, completed on Friday evening the first stage of the military operations in the Syrian Badia and were able to reach the border with the friendly Iraq northeast of al-Tanf,” the Command said in a statement.

The arrival at the border, the statement said, was achieved after controlling a large number of positions and strategic points inside the Badia over 20 square kilometers since operations first started south and east of Palmyra, where hundreds of ISIS (Daesh, ISIL, IS) mercenary-terrorists were killed.

“This achievement is a strategic turning point in the war on terrorism and a springboard to expand military operations in the Badia and along the border with the friendly Iraq,” added the statement………………..

The source said that Syrian army units, in cooperation with allies, continued their successful military operations in the Badiya desert, and managed on Friday afternoon to reach the Syrian-Iraqi borders northeast of al-Tanf and established positions in the area after eliminating all remaining pockets of ISIS terrorists in that direction.

Back on June 6th and May 18th before that, the US-led international coalition attacked advanced Syrian Arab Army positions on al-Tanf road in the eastern countryside of Homs province in an attempt to prevent the army from reaching the borders.

Units of Syrian Arab Army and Syrian Armed Forces operating in Deir Ezzor, backed by the air force, thwarted an attack by Daesh mercenary-terrorists on the southern axis of Deir Ezzor city, inflicting heavy losses upon their ranks and equipment……….
