Iranian militias in #Syria
By the beginning of 2012, with the increasing peaceful demonstrations the #IRGC began to feel the danger to the regime of its ally Assad and the major schisms within the #Assad army. Opposition sources estimate the number of dissidents at 150,000.1/12

Because of Assad's field losses, Tehran gave orders to #Hezbollah terrorist militia to conduct military intervention to save #Assad. It was the first direct military presence of the militia in southern #Damascus and the vicinity of Damascus International Airport.2/12

With #Daraa & #Quneitra province under full control. #SAA turn their eyes on N.W. #Syria : In the next days army will launch a new operation ( #IdlibDawn ) in order to liberate the remaining areas of #Latakia , #Hama , #Idlib & W. #Aleppo & eliminate #HTS rule (Dark green) (1)
#Assad has repeatedly vowed to retake “Every Inch of #Syria”. While the pledge seemed unrealistic early on, it suddenly doesn’t seem too far fetched. But is Assad’s vow only about land, or is there something more fundamental that has been cornerstone of the leadership’s strategy
2-Vowing to “Take Every Inch of #Syria back” started as early as 2013 when Damascus would make the pledge in private to Western officials who came looking for solutions. Such officials were known to have warned Damascus that, even if possible, such would take years to achieve =>
3-Since the pledge was first used in private in 2013, the #Syrian leadership has stuck to its vow and made it clear that there can’t be a political solution until every inch of the country is taken back under State control first. This fundamental premise continues today

Time has come for the serious confrontation with #ISIS "soldiers of the Caliphate" in Quneitra (Jaish Khaled bin al Waleed) bordering the occupied Golan heights as the Syrian Army, Hezbollah & allies reached the territory occupied by the group as part of south #Syria liberation.
#Damascus soldiers & allies are aware of the necessity of this inevitable battle that is supposed to begin as soon as the preparation of attack from different fronts is completed. This can be achieved when more territories under Nusra and FSA are cleared.
The Syrian Army agreed with the Russian suggesting to ship all Syrians refusing to reconcile with the government to #Idlib: green busses (or whatever colour it is going to be) are prepared to go to #Daraa #Syria.
Over 100 busses are reaching #Daraa to carry over 1500 Jabhat al-Nusra aka Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and their families who rather stay under Turkish control the north of #Syria.
The #Damascus-Amman road is clear and safe now and Naseeb crossing is expected to reopen soon.

Syrian Army is clearing up east of #Daraa where the Russian Military police is tasking position.
The enormous quantity of weapons recovered by the Syrian army is filling up the army's warehouses, thanks to Arab and the west generous donations to Jihadists

Important Thread that describes why Southern Front (and other areas) seem to fall quickly into #SyrianArmy hands once military operations get underway. The answer lies in the painstaking secret negotiations/reconciliations that Damascus has long invested in ==>
2-Take #Daraa where key members of Syrian leadership decided to invest significant time & resources traveling back and forth to the region in the hope of reaching out to opposition leaders. This process linked into higher gear early in 2015 & when Damascus knew #Geneva would fail
3-As negotiations/reconciliations seemed to proceed, however, Damascus soon discovered a pattern. Leaders who engaged in such talks soon lost financial & military support of their sponsors. Those countries quickly found new leaders willing to sabotage the seemingly agreed deals
Let me share with you few insights of what I saw in #Daraa, the battle of south #Syria:

Meetings held between #Russia and militants representative in #Daraa today where #Damascus central government's conditions were presented to avoid further military operation. Most anti-gov forces are happy to surrender. More (good) news in the next 24-48 hours.#Syria.
S. #Syria: Battle for #Nasib border crossing is over on 10th day of Offensive. Amidst Rebel collapse in NE. #Daraa, situation is quickly evolving everywhere & many towns about to surrender.

#FSA are claiming to have shot down an MiG-33 at Mulayhah al-Sharqiyah with the pilot having ejected. I cannot verify this just yet.
Typo, I meant *23.
Terrorist sources claiming the pilot from the previous tweet was captured.

The Syrian army has begun its assault against terrorist forces hiding away in Al-Hirak town, #Daraa province.
... "Nasib Border Crossing" between Syria and Jordan will be an important mile-stone if SAA can regain control over it ... will TRUMP's USA fight for it?
..."TRUMP's USA" - for Syria that could mean more manpower & weapons for "rebels", bombs by Israel on behalf of the USA (yes, that's how I think one should define these regular bombing raids) or direct bombs by TRUMP's USA - maybe somewhere entirely different - maybe "accidental"
... also when I read that some "rebels" on the Syria-Jordan-border or the Golan are "Saudi supported" - I sense racism ... why? ... because without Obama and now TRUMP leading this - there would be no "rebels" in Syria - "Saudi supported" or otherwise

#Hezbollah did not...I repeat, did not pull out one single element from the area.
I spoke to people on the ground: The Russian decision was unclear and considered unwelcome by the forces on the ground. Still, many elements of this move are unclear.

#Israel is terrified by the possible advancement of the #SyrianArmy and its allies to #Daraa but it is not terrified by thousands of #AlQaeda and #ISIS terrorists on the borders with occupied #GolanHeights
In fact, Israel hosts these terrorists and treats them in its hospitals and sends them back to the battlefield (Source: bit.ly/2rKiFo2).
As the former director of Mossad said he doesn't think that dealing with Al-Qaeda will blowback because Al-Qaeda up to now not attacked Israel (source: bit.ly/2L6LLGf).
In few moments will share some information about the forthcoming war in #Syria.
1+/ The US/EU war on Syria is expected in the next 10 hours according to sources in #Syria close to decision makers.
