Pro-Syrian
forces attempt strike on US Coalition according to US official.
Regardless of the accusation it is the third time in a week that the
US coalition has struck and destroyed pro-Syrian Forces in the
region. Iran and Hezbollah have threatened to retaliate against the
US Coalition. The attacks seems to be a way to try and draw out Iran
and Syrian Forces to justify an battle to destroy both Damascus and
Iran.
Germany
moves fighters to Germany with bogus story to prepare for Strike on
Damascus
CNN
with the expected pro-war line that
the forces struck are "Iranian-backed forces"
obscuring the fact these are legal Syrian forces being targeted by a
foreign power in their own country.
We
have just learned that all three fighters who were killed in the
US strike on Tuesdaywere
Syrians.
They were Syrian Shia militia fighters which would have made them
part of Syria's National Defence Forces.
The
NDF, along with the regular army, forms Syria's armed forces.
It unites all Syrian pro-government militias into a
decentralized but official and lawful national guard force. Its
fighters are salaried by the government just as a US guardsman or a
state militia would be.
UPDATE --
US officials told CNN US struck a convoy of three technicals
(pick-ups with heavy weapons mounted in the back) and destroyed two
of them. Supposedly the strike took place some 40 kilometers from the
US base at al-Tanf, Syria.
BEIRUT,
LEBANON (00:58 A.M.) – As Al-Masdar News reported on
Thursday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) backed by allied forces, managed
to regain control of the strategic Dakwah hilltop after a round of
fierce clashes with the US-backed and FSA-affiliated rebel factions.
Located
some 60 km to the east of Damascus at a height of 920 meters, the
Dakwa hilltop served as a major bastion for the Islamic State (ISIS),
but then was taken over by FSA-affiliated factions, when ISIS
jihadists were forced to withdraw at the beginning of the year.
Despite
repeated warnings and several US air raids against the Syrian Arab
Army (SAA) in south-east Syria, the government forces keep up their
offensive efforts and score ever more gains in the desert area both
against the Islamic State and groups in allegiance with the Free
Syrian Army (FSA).
The
footage below was published by the Syrian Ministry of Defence and
shows the SAA targeting and storming FSA held positions on the hill
with mechanized troops and infantry charging against the enemy lines.
