ISIS
kills 200 innocents in Syria – no outrage in western media
This
is described by the Guardian as an “offensive”, not a terrorist
attack.
Horrific. In the deadliest attack in Syria in years, over 200 innocents - children, women, elderly, entire families - were killed by ISIS terrorists in Sweida today.
Where is the global outrage? Or is that only reserved for unverified chemical attacks?
Nearly
200 people killed in deadliest attack this year in Syria

BEIRUT,
LEBANON (6:40 P.M.) – The death toll from the Islamic State (ISIS)
terrorist attack in the provincial capital of Al-Sweida has risen to
195, a source in Damascus told Al-Masdar News this evening.
The
Islamic State’s official media wing has claimed responsibility for
this terrorist attack in Sweida city.
This
latest terrorist strike by the Islamic State in Al-Sweida is the
deadliest attack in Syria in the last two years.
Most
of the casualties from this terrorist attack were civilians, despite
contrasting claims by the Islamic State’s official media wing.
The
Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has responded to the Islamic State’s
terrorist attack by launching a large-scale assault in northeast
Al-Sweida.
Since
they launched this attack, the Syrian Army has killed dozens of
terrorist combatants, while also liberating several areas.

Israeli forces hit Gaza hard after sniper fire targets IDF

BEIRUT,
LEBANON (10:00 P.M.) – The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a
powerful attack, tonight, after unknown sniper fire targeted some of
their soldiers near a border fence.
According
to local Palestinian activists, the Israeli forces targeted several
areas on the Gaza Strip, including the Al-Bureij Camp and Khan
Younis.
The
Gazan Health Ministry has reported that at least three people have
been killed and several others wounded as a result of the Israeli
attack.
In
response, the Palestinian forces in the Gaza Strip have reportedly
launched retaliatory missiles towards the Israeli northern
settlements; this prompted the IDF to activate their rocket sirens in
area.
The
Israeli Air Force then carried out a number of airstrikes over the
Al-Qassam Brigades military posts in the Gaza Strip.
Both
parties are now engaging in retaliatory attacks in northern and
eastern Gaza.
Militants
from several groups, including Jabhat al-Nusra (outlawed in Russia)
are planning an offensive on positions of Syrian government troops,
concentrating forces simultaneously on several directions, the chief
of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Warring Parties,
Major General Alexei Tsygankov, told reporters on Wednesday.
“According
to available information, the leaders of Hayyat Tahrir Ahrar al-Sham,
Jabhat Tahrir Suriya (formed as merger of Nour al-Din al-Zenki
Movement and Ahrar al-Sham), Suqour al-Sham and Falak al-Sham agreed
to set up joint operational headquarters to conduct an attack on
positions of government forces,” the general said.
Large
groups have concentrated simultaneously on several directions –
mountains of northern Latakia, al-Ghab valley on the border of Hama
and Idlib provinces and areas west of Aleppo,” he said.

BEIRUT,
LEBANON (8:30 P.M.) – The Russian Aerospace Forces launched a
massive retaliatory assault against the Islamic State (ISIS) after
the latter carried out deadly terrorist attack that killed nearly 200
people in Al-Sweida.
The
Russian jets hammered the Islamic State forces in the Yarmouk Basin
region, inflicting heavy damage on the terrorist group’s dens and
trenches around southwest Daraa.
According
to a military source in Daraa, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched
over 25 airstrikes since the Islamic State terrorist attack in
Al-Sweida, with most of these strikes targeting the northwestern
corridor of the Yarmouk Basin region.
While
the Russian Aerospace Forces hit the Islamic State from the air, the
Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has been striking the terrorist group from the
ground.
The
Syrian Army is reportedly attempting to advance around the strategic
Jaleen area in a bid to liberate more towns from the Islamic State
affiliated Jaysh Khaled bin Walid forces.
Furthermore,
the Syrian Army has already liberated several areas in the
northwestern corridor of the Yarmouk Basin region, including the key
town of Saida.
With
several areas already lost in southern Al-Quneitra, the Islamic State
is likely to retreat further south in the coming hours, as the Syrian
Arab Army and their allies continue their large-scale advance in the
Yarmouk Basin region.
Move
comes after Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted Saudi oil tankers in the
Bab El-Mandeb Strait on Wednesday.
Saudi
Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, temporarily suspended all oil
shipments through the Bab El-Mandeb Strait after attacks on two
crude-carrying vessels by Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Saudi
Arabia's Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Thursday the kingdom
would halt all oil shipments through the strait immediately.
The
suspension will last "until the situation becomes clearer and
the maritime transit through Bab El-Mandeb is safe", Falih said
in a statement.
Houthi
rebels targeted Saudi tankers in the Red Sea causing minor damage to
one, the Saudi-Emirati coalition fighting the group in the war-torn
country said.
Meanwhile, this is what is being reported by anti-Semitic but pro-Israel Hal Turner is reporting.
Despite the frightful bias, at least he's pointing to something that is totally ignored by western media.
