Syrian War: News #14

Are there any detailed maps of SAA progress in Ayn Tarma and Jobar?

Not seen that map.

Meanwhile

BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:45 P.M.) – At approximately 9:00 A.M. (Damascus Time) this morning, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) kicked off their major assault to besiege the Islamic State (ISIL) forces inside central Syria.

Led by their Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies stormed the mountains that are located just north of the strategic Taybah area, resulting in a series of intense firefights with the Islamic State terrorists in this region.

According to a military source, the Syrian Arab Army is attempting to capture Minshar Mountain, which is located directly west of the Taybah area.

Once Minshar Mountain is captured, the Syrian Arab Army will have fire control over the western part of Taybah, as it overlooks this entire area.

SAA have captured 3/4 building in Ayn Tarma, but 2 of them are blown up by tunnel bombs.

Capturing a building in Jobar is equivalent to capturing a village in Hama/Homs countrysides


3 tunnel bombs in last 3 days on this front 20/30 kia per building on SAA side. This is clearly battle of attrition.

FAR tunnel bomb under newly captured building by SAA in AinTarma. Prepared in advance or their old tunel(double use - new problem for SAA)

On one side of this front is SAA, and on other al-Rahman Corps and HTS they are players of Saudis, and they control around 40% of Ghouta. On other side is JAI with 60% and they have singed a ceasefire deal with SAA/Russia, they are players of Qatar. This 2 sides started internal war in Ghouta couple months ago after that clash between Saudi and Qatar. That have leaved some 500/1000 kia/wia on both sides. Russia came in and signed a ceasefire with JAI, and aid is entering those areas.
So SAA decided to attack al-Rahman Corps and HTS from other side, ville they are clashing with JAI from other. After 2 months clashes between 2 sides in Ghouta them have slowed, just occasionally attacks by JAI on some towns/villages.

So they are fighting on 2 fronts, and they will leave to Idlib eventually, that is HTS territory. Only question is what will hapend with JAI, they want a ceasefire and they have representative in Geneva.



About those tunnels, they are probably just mining all buildings with tunnels under them, and detonate them when they retreat and SAA enter.

take a look in some of tunnels-some for cars in Jobar.

my predictions for next months

Looks like it's happening ,that middle "pocket" is going to collapse.

Huge news! Syrian military is on the verge of besieging Da'esh in central Syria. So many hilltops liberated south of Ithriya
Tal al-Amlal, Dahr al-Salhouh, Al-Amali, Rikm al-Wihil, Suhail al-Delij, Qirba, Wadi al-Auj, east Hama is what I've seen.

the sooner their is peace in Syria ... the sooner Syria can rebuild and peoples lives go back to normal ... America and the west should stump up large amounts of aid to rebuild the country since it was the west that is responsible for the destruction of Syria

I agree but Israel, Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, and Turkey should also be included however we all know that no country in the west, Usa or other countries mentioned will contribute any money or aid

Hell, knowing the feckless Yankistani bastards, they will put sanctions on Russian and Iranian construction groups when they inevitably get started on rebuilding...  the State dept will utter some absurd bilge and our media will faithfully echo the lies with a raucous round of harumphing...

I really think this Salamiyah pocket (east of) is among the strongest and best kitted out in this war. Also I suspect before the so called "revolution" this area must have been preparing for some years in advance. It's interesting how this whole area became part of ISIS overnight, some time in 2013 or 2014?

Very interesting case. Lets see how long they will last now.

The problem for ISIL now is, that they are cut from water and food supplies in the desert. This will be bigger problem for terrorists than fuel and ammo.

On top of that SAA in Deir Ezzor is being aggressive!

That statement is quite troubling. Since when this "alliance" has a say in where Syria places their own military?

For now SAA is busy with IS, but in future they will want to link up to their forces in Hassaka and Qamisli, secure their borders etc.
