ISRAELI AIR FORCE LAUNCHED AIRSTRIKES ON SYRIAN ARMY POSITIONS FOR THIRD DAY IN ROW – MEDIA
26
June, 2017
On
Monday, the Israeli Air Force once again carried out airstrikes on
Syrian Army positions near in the province of Quneitra,
according to the
Israeli media.
The
airstrikes were allegedy conducted in response to serveral
projectiles landed the Israeli-occupied part of the Golan Heights.
This
was the third time in a row when the Israeli Air Force delivered
airstrikes against Syrian government forces in the area. The Israeli
military attacked Syrian Army positions on Saturday and on Sunday
under the same pretext.
According
to Syrian sources, Israel has been conducting airstrikes in the area
in order to support Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra,
the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) and its allies in the ongoing battle
against the Syrian army in the province of Quneitra.

Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed hope that the next round
of Astana talks on settlement of the Syrian crisis will succeed in
clarifying the joint vision as regards de-escalation zones, while
also noting that some of the players on the Syrian geostrategic
chessboard are playing a dishonest and dangerous type of game.
“A
significant decline in military activities and terrorist violence
has been recorded in particular areas of Syria, thanks to our new
memorandum on establishing de-escalation zones within Syrian
territory. I hope that the next round of the Astana talks will
positively affect our common efforts, aimed at resolving the Syrian
crisis and initiating the UN-sponsored talks that are planned to be
held in Geneva, following the Astana meeting, in the first half of
July,” Lavrov was heard saying during a joint press conference
with his Ethiopian counterpart Workneh Gebeyehu in Moscow, on
Monday.
He
noted the efforts are currently being made which would allow the
memorandum on de-escalation zones to be fully implemented, a thing
that would also significantly help to improve the humanitarian
situation in these areas.
“The
impression, based on the experience of fighting terrorism in Syria
so far, is that the US-led “anti-ISIS” coalition and its allies
are secretly providing cover the Al Nusra Front/Tahrir Al Sham
terrorists, or whatever they are called now. We have evidence they
are being shielded during our strikes”, Lavrov said.
“We
consider this a very dangerous kind of game that has to be stopped
immediately, no matter the interests in the background. We are
dealing with a serious threat here”, he further added

In any case, Russia confidently continues to crack down on terrorists. Sometimes it’s safer and more convenient to operate from the sea.
The Mediterranean sea. Thus, on Friday, our frigates Admiral Essen and Admiral Grigorovich, with the participation of the Krasnodar submarine, which was under the water, launched six cruise missiles Kalibr. [video by the Russian Ministry of Defense]
The target was in the Hama Governorate, where, as a result, large weapons warehouses and control posts of the fanatics from the pseudo-caliphate were destroyed.
An interesting detail. Turkey and Israel were warned about the launches in time. Chances are that the United States learned about the upcoming attack from them.

rebels divert all resources to fighting the Syrian Army instead of

DAMASCUS,
SYRIA (8:00 P.M.) – After Free Syrian Army (FSA) factions on the
southern border no longer share a frontline with the Islamic State,
US-backed rebel forces have begun to intensify attacks on positions
held by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in eastern Sweida, southeastern
Rif Dimashq and southeastern Homs.
With
the warring parties sharing a frontline of some 500 kilometers across
the aforementioned provinces, the FSA’s Osoud Al-Sharqiya, Ahmad
Al-Abdo Martyrs Brigade and Maghawir al-Thawara continue to raid SAA
checkpoints and gun emplacements across the vast Syrian Desert on a
daily basis.
Even
today, skirmishes erupted between Osoud Al-Sharqiya and the SAA at
multiple points. The footage below shows FSA fighters yelling
Islamist slogans and stomping on the Syrian flag after overwhelming
an undisclosed SAA-held position. Towards the end of the video,
government airstrikes are also clearly visible:
Although the SAA cut off the frontline between the FSA and ISIS a couple weeks ago, Syrian rebels still hold high ambitions in the region due to the unwavering support of a US military garrison and American airstrikes.
Meanwhile, the SAA struck deep into the Islamic State’s interior mainland on Monday which in turn saw government troops reach the provincial border with Deir Ezzor and come within 95 kilometers of besieged airbase.

imposed on the SAA due to operations in the Syrian Desert:
According
to a military source close to Al-Masdar News, the SAA vastly
outnumbers the FSA as barely 1,000 militants are enrolled in the
latter’s ranks. Furthermore, the FSA lacks armored vehicles that
are needed for a general offensive.

Deploys ISIS to Central Asia

America
created and supports ISIS, al-Qaeda and other well-known terrorist
groups – using their fighters to advance its imperium.
In
December 1991, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was
formed, Russia its leading member, along with eight other nations and
two associate ones – all former Soviet republics.
According
to CIS Anti-Terrorist Center (ATC) head General
Andrey Novikov,
ISIS is shifting its main focus from Syria and Iraq to Central Asia,
including Afghanistan, saying:
The terrorist group “exports a new model of extremist and terrorist activity from (Syria and Iraq) battle zones to the Central Asian states.”
Earlier
ISIS announced the creation of a new “province” centered in
Afghanistan, including territories of other Central Asian states.
According
to Novikov,
“(a)nalysis of military clashes (in Afghanistan shows local) militants adopting not only the strategy, but also tactical military concepts” used by ISIS.
Its
fighters are trying to seize areas, intending expansion to
surrounding territories.
They “set a goal of expanding (their) influence in the northern regions of Afghanistan and gaining access to the border regions of the Central Asian states as well as to the Chinese Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,” Novikov explained.
They’re
battling Taliban fighters in some areas for control, an apparent
diabolical US plot to create greater conflict and turmoil in Central
Asia than already, ISIS terrorists used as imperial foot soldiers.
According
to Novikov, over 7,000 CIS citizens are wanted for terrorist-related
activities, more than 2,000 now fighting as mercenaries.
Afghanistan
is America’s longest war in modern times (1979-), a forever war
supported by neocons infesting Washington.
It’s
unrelated to 9/11, a phony pretext used to wage endless wars of
aggression against multiple countries.
Trump
escalated what his predecessors began, his pledged noninterventionism
while campaigning renounced.
ISIS
and other terrorist groups are instruments used by Washington to
advance its imperium, raping and destroying one nation after another
– all sovereign independent countries targeted for regime change,
notably Russia and China.
Moscow
is focused on preventing ISIS and other terrorist groups from
invading its territory, a key reason why it intervened in Syria at
Assad’s request – committed to defeating the scourge there rather
than face it domestically.
Its
growing Central Asian infestation puts its fighters dangerously close
to its borders – a likely US plot to destabilize and create turmoil
in Russia.
America’s
rage for unchallenged global dominance risks unthinkable war between
the world’s leading nuclear powers, threatening humanity’s
survival.
Trump
proved he’s as ruthless and reckless as his predecessors. His deep
swamp infested with neocons, generals, and monied interests threatens
life on planet earth.
