BREAKING:
LIBERATION OF IDLIB HAS BEGUN

Midnight,
GMT+3, September 9th –
The liberation of Idlib from US backed terrorists, has now begun.
With weeks of preparation, on the tactical, strategic, infowar, and
diplomatic fronts, the Russian and Syrian air forces launched their
first sorties tonight, with bombers and assault planes attacking
terrorist held positions between Hama and Idlib. So far there have
been over 70 airstrikes recorded above several jihadist sites in
northwest Syria in just the last several hours alone.
Previously
the Syrian government confirmed that Russian and Syrian air forces
successfully launched over 100 airstrikes in the last since
yesterday, softening up peripheral targets and making impossible the
possibility of any break-through or counter-attack, or other maneuver
on the part of the terrorists.
It
is expected, barring a major U.S counter-attack to protect their own
assets, that the Syrian and Russian forces will heavily bombardment
specific targets throughout the night, and into the early morning
ours of September 9th.
SAA
and allied forces have been making simultaneous preparations for the
ground assault which will likely commence tomorrow. Syrian and
Iranian intelligence operatives inside of Idlib had been successful,
over the last few weeks, in documenting and noting the location of
targets where terrorists had made their HQ. One such was a former
hospital, fortunately that this premises was being used as a base of
operations by terrorist groups was recorded on video, and presented
to the international community via information war channels.
In
the weeks leading up to today, both the US and Russia scrambled
massive naval fleets into the Mediterranean, as a means to deter each
other from any successful action. However, given the outcome of
diplomatic efforts, in particular the events at the UN, it became
apparent that the US’s plan to use a false flag or hoax attack as a
pretext to attack Syria with a UN mandate-of-sorts (statements from
the UN envoy to Syria, that is – there would never be a UNSC
resolution to that effect).
After
securing an international coalition to support the final liberation
of Idlib, and after having fought with some success in the UN to
preclude any prejudgment to the effect that only Syria could be
capable of pulling off a chemical attack, Syria said it was committed
to ‘liberate’ Idlib.
Jafari
said “those who facilitated the entry of foreign terrorist fighters
into my country, especially the Turkish government, still have a
chance to remove them from Idlib province.”
With
the United States, Britain and France all reportedly making final
preparations on September 8th to launch a major offensive against
Syria, and threatening use of force on a scale far larger than that
of the attack carried out in April 2018, Russia has notably
responded by moving naval assets to the Mediterranean and deploying
its warships in defensive positions to deter a potential second
Western attack.
Russian
media said officially, on September 8th, that they were fully
expecting a false flag or hoax chemical weapons attack to take place
in Idlib, carried out by the US and MI6 primarily, in order to use
this as a pretext to take military action against Syria.
While
Russia has previously tolerated Western interventions against
Damascus on a small scale, namely token missile strikes initiated
with prior warning and with apparent coordination with Syria and
Russia, which were further blunted by Syria’s own air defences, a
larger strike which could have a significant impact on the outcome of
the war – at a time when Damascus’ forces and those of its allies
prepare for a major ground offensive against the Jihadist held
province of Idlib – could well cross a red line which would lead to
Russian intervention on the side of its Middle Eastern ally. To be
able to deter a Western attack however, Russia will need to
demonstrate that it has a credible chance of protecting Syria against
the combined firepower of its adversaries despite the far smaller
size of its forces in the country – which pale in comparison to the
massive Western military forces deployed throughout the Middle East
and the U.S. and possibly French carrier strike groups which are
likely to participate in an attack.
As
the US prepares its last ditch effort to derail the final destruction
of Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria, in their hopes to stop the liberation
of Idlib, the Atlantic Council – the media wing of NATO – has
instructed YouTube to shut-down the news channels of Syrian agencies.
In
the lead-up, two days ago, Russian, Turkish, and Iranian leadership
met to discuss an agreement to see this operation carried out with as
few problems as possible. “Damascus has every right to take back
all its territory,” Russian president Vladimir Putin told a summit
on Friday the 7th, which decided how these countries would relate to
the Syrian government during the last major terrorist
stronghold, Idlib.
“The
legitimate Syrian government has a right and must eventually take
under control all of its national territories,” Putin told Iran’s
Hassan Rouhani and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the summit.
The
Russian leader said it was important to begin work on a political
settlement in Syria “as soon as possible” and urged Iran and
Turkey to ramp up their coordination with Russia of their countries’
foreign and defence ministries and security services. Now the world
waits in anticipation, whether the U.S will work with the UK as
planned, to carry out a false flag or hoax ‘chemical attack’,
which the U.S officials have already said in advance they would blame
on the Syrian government.
Putin
said “terrorist elements” continued to “stage provocations”
and use drones in Idlib. “We cannot ignore this,” the Russian
president said. “We should solve this problem together.”
The
three leaders determined the future of Idlib amid growing fears of a
humanitarian disaster. The three countries are guarantors of the
Astana process, a track of talks launched after Russia’s
game-changing 2015 military intervention which has eclipsed the
failed Western-backed Geneva negotiations led by the United Nations.
The
only real foreseeable problem now is the US finding some last minute
pretext to bring this final operation to a halt. While the US appears
to have exhausted all options, the desperation may lead to a rash
decision. It was previously reported that the US asked for Turkish
assistance in removing some 200 US and UK military personnel that
were in Idlib.
To
connect the dots here clearly, it has been generally and publicly
understood for some time that the US and its coalition, have been
actively backing the ISIS and Al Qaeda efforts in Syria. This is
despite the US’s intervention in the country being initially based
on fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda, even though the intervention was
started without the consent of the Syrian government, making the
moves in fact an invasion against the sovereignty of the Syrian state
and people.
BEIRUT,
LEBANON (12:00 A.M.) – The Russian and Syrian air forces have been
hard at work, tonight, as their fighter pilots carry several
airstrikes across the Hama-Idlib axis.
Led
by their Sukhoi jets, the Syrian and Russian air forces initially
began their aerial campaign on Saturday morning, when they repeatedly
bombarded the jihadist rebels in both the Idlib and Hama provinces.
The
Syrian and Russian air forces would not stop there; they would since
launch over 70 airstrikes above several jihadist sites in northwest
Syria.
According
to a military communique from the Hama Governorate, the Russian and
Syrian air forces launched over 100 airstrikes in the last 24 hours,
hitting jihadist trenches, bases, and hideouts in the process.
Among
the several sites targeted by the Syrian and Russian air forces were
the towns of Khan Sheikhoun, Taman’ah, Sukeek, Kafr Zita,
Al-Lataminah, Zakat, Alayweh, Ma’arat Al-Nu’man, Jisr
Al-Shughour, Qal’at Al-Madiq, and Ma’arat Al-Nu’man.
The
Syrian and Russian forces will likely continue their heavy
bombardment throughout the night and early into tomorrow, as their
ground troops make their final preparations before they launch their
assault.
Battle
for Idlib begins as Syrian, Russian forces unleash massive attack

*** BULLETIN ***
(See
7:09 PM EDT Update at bottom of article) A Chemical
Weapons and Missile Specialist with the Terrorists SABOTAGED the
missiles and fled into Turkey from Idlib. The missiles
are still loaded with chemicals and as soon as those in-possession
can repair the sabotage, the chemical weapons will be launched.
---------
I
intentionally delayed this reporting for several hours because the
last time, things stopped almost immediately after starting.
This time, I waited for video, photos of dead bodies, and such. I
can now confirm . . . it has actually begun: The battle for
Idlib, Syria.
Officially
code named "Operation Idlib Dawn" missiles are
flying. Artillery is firing. Aircraft are dropping bombs.
The dead bodies are beginning to pile up.
The
Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) battle for Idlib has begun after several
weeks of speculation and military buildup.
According
to a military source in Damascus, the Syrian and Russian air forces
unleashed a massive assault across the Hama-Idlib axis, hitting a
number of sites controlled by the jihadist rebels.
Artillery
is firing:
GRAD
Missile Barrages being fired:
The
source added that the Syrian Arab Army has yet to storm any areas in
the Idlib and Hama governorates; the ground attack is likely to
commence in the next few day.
Russian
aerospace forces and Syrian airpower mission objectives are the
striking of Al-Qaeda affiliate Hayyat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) positions
across Idlib province.
Rebel
media published a video footage showing the latest airstrikes
conducted on the northern countryside of Hama and southern Idlib.
These
massive air-raids come prior to large, wide-scale offensive led by
Syria's Tiger Forces, according to military sources.
The
video includes moment of Russian warplane carrying out concentrated
airstrikes against several rebel bunkers and hideouts, where they use
it as main headquarter and a place to hide ammunition depots.
Militants
Underground tunnels where Russian aircraft bombed
Here
is video of the Russian air strike:
RESULTS:
“There
are more than 30 terrorist factions in Idlib, most notably the Nasra
Front, The number of terrorists estimated to more than 50,000”, The
Russian delegate to the Security Council.
Sources
tell the Hal Turner Radio Show that Syrian helicopters kicked-off the
offensive this morning by targeting militant positions in Hama and
Idlib provinces. The air attack was backed by shelling from Syrian
Army rocket and howitzer units.
Here
is video of one such helicopter attack:
Russian
airpower is also taking part in the attack alongside Syrian
helicopters and artillery forces by bombing positions and movements
of Nusra Front terrorists in the towns of Khan Sheikhun,
Al-Latamanah, Ghernaz, Skik, Tel Skek and surrounding villages and
hamlets.
Sources
added that the ground assault, when it does come, will take place on
several fronts at once. The immense air and artillery bombardment
currently taking place is being done to soften up insurgent positions
for infantry and armored storming forces.
Syria’s
permanent representative to the UN Security Council has confirmed
Damascus’ willingness to secure safe passage for civilians in
Idlib, if terrorist groups allow them to leave.
IRAN
ATTACKING IRAQ TOO!
While
things in Syria are breaking loose into widespread fighting, Iran
upped-the-ante by launching barrages of Ballistic Missiles into . . .
IRAQ!
US Chased-Away from Russian Fleet
While
this is taking place, A
#USAF RC-135 got too close to the Russian Navy exercises zone near
the Syrian Coast and it was "forced to retreat."
(HT
Note: It's
things like THIS that open the door to a direct confrontation between
the US and Russia which would explode like mad once a single mistake
takes place. We are literally on the doorstep of actual
military fighting between the US and Russia, right now, TODAY.)
America’s
top general on Saturday said he was involved in “routine dialogue”
with the White House about military options should Syria ignore U.S.
warnings against using chemical weapons in an expected assault on the
enclave of Idlib.
Marine
General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said
no decision had been made by the United States to employ military
force in response to a future chemical attack in Syria.
“But
we are in a dialogue, a routine dialogue, with the president to make
sure he knows where we are with regard to planning in the event that
chemical weapons are used,” he told a small group of reporters
during a trip to India. Dunford later added: “He expects us to have
military options and we have provided updates to him on the
development of those military options.”
This
story will be updated throughout today. Updates to appear

UPDATE 3:40 PM EDT --
The
Russian Defense Ministry says terrorists in the rebel-held
Syrian city of Idlib have almost completed their preparations for a
provocation involving chemical weapons.
The
US is ready to put forward its own plan to effectively
fight terrorism in Syria and it is
not going to cooperate with Russia on the
issue, the Pentagon said in a statement.
"US
military officials believe there is a more effective way to do
counter-terrorism operations than major conventional operations
in Idlib. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the
United States was not talking about cooperating, but about
using US capabilities to spot the terrorists — even in an
urban environment — and take them out with a minimum
of civilian casualties," the US Department of Defense
said, citing Gen. Joseph Dunford.
UPDATE 4:00 PM EDT --
RUSSIAN
MINISTRY OF DEFENSE: TERRORISTS, WHITE HELMETS ARE MEETING RIGHT NOW

UPDATE 6:55 PM EDT --
A
notorious commander of Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at (the Levant Liberation
Board or the Al-Nusra Front) terrorist group was KILLED
BY A HIT TEAM OF ASSASSINS in
Idlib amid increased tensions and insecurities in the province.
Field
sources in Northern Syria reported on Saturday that a group of
unknown assailants killed Tahrir al-Sham’s security commander Abu
Hajar al-Ansari in a gun attack in Jabal al-Zawiyeh region in Idlib.
They
added that al-Ansari was responsible for protecting Tahrir al-Sham’s
Mufti Abu al-Yaqzan al-Misri.
Meantime,
a bomb was detonated in the town of Ma’arat al-No’eman in
Southern Idlib, killing several militants.
Also,
explosion of a bomb near a court building in the town of Salqayn in
Northwestern Idlib killed and wounded a number of terrorists.
In
a relevant development last Sunday, at least five senior commanders
of Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at were killed in a chain of blasts in the
Northwestern province of Idlib, local sources reported.
Ahmad
Fo’ad Dayb, a commander of Tahrir al-Sham, was killed after a bomb,
planted in his vehicle, went off in the town of Saraqib in Idlib.
In
the meantime, local sources reported that four blasts in the towns of
Samin, Salqin, Qah and al-Dana near the border with Turkey killed at
least five commanders of Tahrir al-Sham.
Also,
a number of terrorists were killed after a bomb-laden vehicle went
off in Tahrir al-Sham’s base near al-Ehsan Hospital in the Southern
part of the town of Saraqib that is one of the most crucial
strongholds of Tahrir al-Sham in Southeastern Idlib.
SAA
units commenced a sweeping OP from Zilaqiat northwards & from Tal
Milih towards Wadi Hasmin in northern Hama in response to militants
targeting w/ mach8ne guns & artillery.
***** URGENT ***** 7:09 PM EDT --

in jisr al-shouhor say a CHEMICAL WEAPONS & MISSILE SPECIALIST
escaped from the town to Turkey after disarming
the missiles!
This fits perfectly with earlier declarations by the Russian Ministry of Defense that it is TERRORISTS planning to use chemical weapons and have it blamed on Syria! ! ! !
This fits perfectly with earlier declarations by the Russian Ministry of Defense that it is TERRORISTS planning to use chemical weapons and have it blamed on Syria! ! ! !
SOURCES
REPORT THE MISSILES ARE STILL LOADED WITH TOXIC GAS and as soon as
the groups in-possession can repair the sabotage, the chemical
weapons will be launched! ! ! ! !
Russia
and Syria are moving teams in to try to capture the missiles before
they are launched in order to track who
made the missiles and who
supplied them.
This would potentially reveal who has ACTUALLY been responsible
for the so-called "Chemical Weapons" in Syria.
UPDATE 7:20 PM EDT --
Russian
and Syrian air forces launched over 100 airstrikes in the last 24
hours, hitting jihadist trenches, bases, and hideouts in the process.
Among
the several sites targeted by the Syrian and Russian air forces were
the towns of Khan Sheikhoun, Taman’ah, Sukeek, Kafr Zita,
Al-Lataminah, Zakat, Alayweh, Ma’arat Al-Nu’man, Jisr
Al-Shughour, Qal’at Al-Madiq, and Ma’arat Al-Nu’man.
The
Syrian and Russian forces will continue their heavy bombardment
throughout the night and early into tomorrow, as their ground troops
make their final preparations before launching a ground assault.
Turkish
Military Convoys on the move in Idlib:
UPDATE 9:05 PM EDT --
TURKEY
CONVOY BRINGING TANKS, ARTILLERY, WEAPONS ---- TO
DEFEND IDLIB FROM SYRIA AND RUSSIA ! ! ! ! !
A
massive Turkish military convoy entered the Idlib Governorate from
the Hatay Province, tonight, opposition activists reported.
According
to the Syrian opposition activists, the Turkish military convoy
consisted of more than 300 vehicles, including tanks, MLRS launchers,
and BMPs.
The
Turkish military convoy reportedly entered Syria through the Kafr
Losen Crossing; it was heading towards the rebel front-lines in the
Idlib and Hama governorates.
Some
opposition activists have claimed that the Turkish military was
heading to the Idlib Governorate with manpads, which are man-carried,
surface-to-air missiles. The ONLY entities using aircraft over
Idlib are the Syrian government and its ally, Russia. So why is
Turkey bringing shoulder-launched anti-aircraft weaponry into
Idlib???? The only possible answer would be that they
are preparing to down aircraft flying over their positions.
The only aircraft they would be able to fire on are Syrian and
Russian and if Turkish forces fired upon those, it would mean instant
war.
Turkey
appears to not be backing down from the Syrian government forces,
despite the fact that the latter is backed by Ankara’s allies: Iran
and Russia.
We
are looking at a scenario now, where elements of the Turkish
Army are inside Syria without
permission,
and may now use weaponry to defend the terrorists in Idlib against
the ongoing Syria/Russian offensive TO CLEAN OUT THOSE SAME
TERRORISTS! This would put Turkey (NATO) in direct
confrontation with Russia and Syria ---- WORLD
WAR 3 MAY BEGIN WITHIN HOURS !
UPDATE 10:40 PM EDT --
United
States Ambassador to the United Nations, Nicki Haley says:
"We
consider any assault on Idlib to be a dangerous escalation of the
conflict in Syria. If
Assad, Russia & Iran continue, the consequences will be
dire."
