Here is my prediction for #Syria2016: #Assad, #Putin, #Nasrallah and #Khamenei will capture at least 50% of what Syrian rebels hold today.

Syrian rebels are starting to realise,the current offensives are different.
It's not #Assad that attacks them, but #Russia&#Iran.
They lose.

#Latakia prov. is as good as lost, #Aleppo prov. (S-W of the city) will fall piece by piece, the #Homs pocket will shrink dramatically.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - The Syrian army said its troops entered a rebel-held town in the southern province of Deraa on Wednesday in an assault which rebels say was aided by the heaviest Russian aerial bombing campaign so far in the south.

Troops were in Sheikh Maskin's main square and had taken over the eastern and northern neighborhoods of the town that lies on a major supply route from Syria's capital Damascus to the city of Deraa, the army said in a statement.

A rebel source confirmed that troops had entered the outskirts of the town but said fierce clashes continued.

“The army established control over the central part of Sheikh Miskin in the suburbs of Daraa. The main square and the area around the al-Omari Mosque have been liberated," according to the report.

A military source told RIA Novosti that the offensive began after the terrorist supply routes were cut off.

According to the source, in the course of several hours 11 militants were killed, including four commanders of the militant groups operating in Sheikh Miskin.

On Tuesday, Syrian command confirmed they had established control over the 82nd brigade camp, near the al-Hosh height, 22 km from the terrorists’ main stronghold in the province of Daraa.

Syria has been engulfed in an armed conflict since March 2011. The Syrian Army has been fighting various terrorist groups, including Daesh (Islamic State) and the al-Nusra Front. Currently, backed by Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Army is advancing against the terrorists in many parts of the country.
