Moscow
has warned the US against taking unilateral action in Syria, as there
is no threat from the Syrian military, Russia’s Foreign Ministry
said. The statement comes after the US accused Syria of preparing for
a chemical attack, without giving any evidence.
Asked
if Russia had warned the US administration against any unilateral
action in Syria, Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Gennady Gatilov,
replied that Russian officials have “always spoken about that,
including in relation to their [US] latest strikes on Syrian armed
forces.”
“We
believe that it’s unacceptable and breaches Syria’s sovereignty,
isn’t caused by any military need, and there is no threat to the US
specialists from the Syrian Army. So it’s incendiary, provocative
action,” Gatilov said, as cited by RIA Novosti.

Israeli Air Force attacks Syrian Army in Golan Heights
28
June, 2017
BEIRUT,
LEBANON (9:25 P.M.) – Minutes ago, the Israeli Air Force launched
an airstrike over the Golan Heights region of Al-Quneitra, targeting
the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) soldiers that were advancing near
Al-Samdaniyah Al-Sharqiyah.
According
to a military source from the Golani Regiment, the Israeli warplane
targeted the advancing units of the Syrian Arab Army in the Golan
Heights, following the massive counter-offensive the latter launched
tonight.
No
details were given regarding casualties.
So
far, the Syrian Arab Army has managed to recapture all four points
they have lost to the jihadist rebels in the last five days; they are
now pushing deeper into the Al-Hamidiyah area, where they are hoping
to expel the Al-Qaeda linked rebels once and for all.
The
US is actively preparing public opinion for a direct military
aggression against Syria. The White House claimed on Monday that it
has a “potential” evidence that the Bashar Assad government was
preparing for another chemical weapons attack that “would likely
result if the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children.”
Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that if “Mr. Assad conducts
another mass murder attack using chemical weapons, he and his
military will pay a heavy price.” US Ambassador to the United
Nations Nikki Haley further accused Russia and Iran for any future
“chemical attacks” that may take place in Syria. However, no
evidence was provided.
UK
Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said on Tuesday that the US had
not shared any specific evidence with the British Government, but the
UK is ready to support any US military actions against Syria.
Earlier
this month, Army Col. Ryan Dillon, spokesman for the US-led
coalition, admitted that the US and its allies had lost a race for
the Syrian-Iraqi border to government forces and that the Pentagon
has no problems with the anti-ISIS operation of the
Syrian-Iranian-Russian alliance in the area. But, it looks that
somebody in the White House has a problem with this.
Meanwhile,
the Syrian Army and its allies have further advanced against ISIS
terrorists in the countryside of Palmyra and along the border with
Iraq. An intense fighting took place near the Arak field while
another group of government fighters continued pushing towards the T2
pumping station.
Tensions
increased between Turkey-led forces and Kurdish militias that compose
a core of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Turkish
artillery units have shelled Tell Rifat, Sheikh Issa, Harbul,
Maranaz, Minaq and Ayn Daqnah in northern Aleppo.
Earlier
this month, reports appeared that the Turkish military deployed a
large number of military equipment, including T-155 Firtina howitzers
and ACV-15 armoured vehicles, to the area of the militant-held town
of Azaz. According to multiple pro-Kurdish media outlets, Turkey and
pro-Turkish militant groups were preparing for a large advance
against Kurdish militias in the area of Afrin. However, no large
attack has taken place so far.
The
SDF media wing has not reacted to the recent shelling but some
unofficial Kurdish sources indicated that the SDF is not going to
halt the Raqqah advance even if Ankara launches the expected
operation in the Afrin area. If this is true, this will open a window
of opportunities for the Erdogan government that has a long-standing
aim of retaking Tell Rifat from Kurdish units.
In
the city of Raqqah, the SDF continued clashing with ISIS terrorists
encircled in the urban area. However, the ISIS resistance did not
allow the US-backed force to make gains. The US-led coalition
increased airstrikes on ISIS targets in the provinces of Raqqah and
Deir Ezzor.
The
Monday airstrikes on Mayadeen hit the ISIS prison and killed at least
42 prisoners and only 15 the terrorist group’s members according to
the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a hardcore
anti-Assad media outlet. In turn, the US-led coalition described the
target as ISIS “command and control” facilities.
