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 Israeli attack on the T4 is insignificant because it changes nothing in the military theatre in #Syria: #Hezbollah Special Forces and #Iran advisors & allies are already on the borders. If they are directly attacked, they are expected to respond.
#Israel PM netanyahu is expected to meet President Putin to discuss also the situation in south #Syria. #Moscow can't change the decision of #Damascus to choose its allies and who is going to be present or not present in Syria, on the limits of the occupied territories.
Best choice of #SAA in south is to avoid any battle if possible and to reconcile whenever there is a chance.
It seems after #USA#UK#SaudiArabia#UAE#Jordan pulled out the plug from all jihadists and FSA in the south, reconciliation is overwhelming.
This quick withdrawal of all those who fuelled the Syrian war and contributed largely in its consequences is triggering something very positive in favour of #Damascus in the north-east of #Syria:
Despite denial, #Kurds in al-Hasaka are aware of the #USA possible withdrawal and how quick #Washington gives up on its proxies (US doesn't have friends but interest).
Two main reasons: Manbij (US deal with Turkey) and Daraa All dropped proxies).
#Iraq: @AdilAbdAlMahdi was given total freedom to select his team in the future government, free from non-qualified individuals and non-corrupted candidates.
Of course, the new PM will have to take into consideration all political parties. These can present names of candidates +
If names are inadequate or considered unsuitable by @AdilAbdAlMahdi, he will ask for more names and again more names until he is satisfied. That was the deal.
The new PM @AdilAbdAlMahdi has reconciled with Nuri al-Maliki a couple of days ago. Al-Maliki was unhappy for his party (Da'wa) to lose the position of PM due to the #USA support to Haidar Abadi following his overt manifestation to "abide by US unilateral sanctions on Iran".
in #Iraq, for the first time since 2003, the #Shia#Sunni#Kurds and #Turkmen were all divided this time prior to the selection of the Speaker, the President and the Prime Minister.
#USA pushed for its own candidate/coalition (Moqtada-Abadi).
#Iran pushed for the unity of all coalitions, Shia, Sunni and Kurds, in an attempted to unite all & produce leaders accepted by all. Iran also worked to bring down the US candidate/coalition.
The world (including Iraq) didn't realise that "no larger coalition has been nominated".
The reason is simple: Iran wanted to save the face and honor of Moqtada, he who joined a lost coalition, so #Iran Soleimani cam "bring him back" to where he belongs
Listen 👂 please: #Israel can't renounce on violating #Lebanon and #Syria airspace. #Russia can't just wipe away the murder of 15 servicemen and its own reputation as a superpower @PutinRF_Eng experience similar situation with #Turkey in 2015

It is up to @PutinRF_Eng to rebuff #USA and #Israel and hold his ground firmly. I am aware of US lobby within #Russia but it is time to show the world that hegemony is over
#Moscow can ask for itself, for #Syria & substantial compensation for Russian families.
The discussions and the maps offered by #Israel delegation to #Russia about the downing of the IL-20 was considered unacceptable & offensive by #Moscow. Moreover, the Israeli delegation complained about" #Iran's influence in #Syri, an argument the Russian have rejected.
#Russia also rejected the #Israeli claim that President Putin refused to talk to the Syrian president Assad. Israel propaganda aim to cover the deterioration of the relationship between #Moscow and #TelAviv
Remember what I said: The downing of the Russian IL-20 is all in #Israel disadvantage.
Now Israel is confused and no longer confident in what it is doing in #Syria and how to run its relationship with #Russia and #Turkey (following the Idlib deal).
Look at the photo: No burning on the white container south of the destroyed factory indicating this is not a warehouse and no ammunition in it.
No whole on the ground and only 4 traces of missiles in the destroyed factory.
Also, look at the building north of the 155m factory destoryed. This indicates that #Israel didn't want to kill workers living in the building (still standing) and targeted the place at night when the factory was closed.
The white container souyth of the destoryed factory indicates that the last of the 4 missiles hit the target at least 70m away from the still standing white container.
This is a spare part gathering factory with no explosives or ammunitions in it.
