Syria: Russian Campaign Enables Government Progress – Terrorist’s Lines Fall Apart
……………….Can someone explain why and how the U.S. Syrian Emergency Task Force, which is financed by the U.S. State Department, can continue to operate in al-Qaeda occupied Idleb?
When the Russian air support in Syria started and the Syrian army
went on the offense a large number of U.S. provided anti-tank guided
missiles where used by the terrorists. The number of such missile
attacks has now significantly decreased. The Russian bombing broke the
logistic lines of the various groups and ransacked their headquarters
and support areas. The four month bombing campaign is now showing real
results.
In Latakia in north west Syria the Syrian army today took the resort
town Salma which had been a major center of terrorist activities in the
area. Yesterday a whole suburb west of Aleppo city fell to the Syrian
army. East of Aleppo city the Syrian army is advancing towards Al Bab
which lies on one of the Islamic State’s major roads to Turkey. Near
Rastan in Homs province the Syrian army crossed the Orontes river and
captured Jarjisah. Further south the Syrian army is progressing towards
the Jordanian border. The Russian air attacks also support
the advances of the Kurdish forces fighting the Islamic State under the
label of the U.S. created Syrian Democratic Front. The SDF is now
moving to Manbij north east from Aleppo from the east and towards
Avaz north-west of Aleppo from the west which together with the Syrian
government rush north towards Al Bab develops into a pincer movement
that will cut the Islamic State and other terrorist groups from the
Turkish border.
Since the beginning of active Russian support the Syrian army has – according to the Russian General Staff – liberated
more than 150 towns and villages from the terrorist forces. Since the
beginning of January more than twenty two towns have been freed.
Bombing is not a solution for conflicts. The U.S. started bombing Iraq 25 years ago and has bombed it ever since. last year alone it dropped over 23,000 bombs
on Muslim countries. But the Russian bombing in Syria is in support a
legitimate and capable government which has the majority support of its
people and that makes all the difference.
The Russian campaign has significantly decimated the militant’s
fighting force. A few weeks ago the head of the Islamic State Baghdadi
had called for a general mobilization of all Muslims to support his
shrinking state. Yesterday the main religious leaders of Jabhat
al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s organization in Syria, also issued a call for total
mobilization. The Chechen terrorist groups in Latakia under Emir Muslim
Shishani are calling for help.
The fronts held by these shrinking forces now regularly fall apart when
under Russian style attacks. They are now near their breaking point……………
Reports: ISIS fighters burnt alive for abandoning Ramadi
It has been reported by residents in Mosul that fighters from the infamous terror group were burned alive after fleeing Ramadi when routed by the Iraqi Army.
A former resident of Iraq but still in contact with family back home told Fox News that: “They were grouped together and made to stand in a circle and set on fire to die.”
Retaking Ramadi from ISIS was imperative. Ramadi lays in Anbar Province which is Sunni-majority. The city that was retaken by the Iraqi army with Sunni tribe allies just weeks back, however the city has been rendered uninhabitable for the time being.
The following footage exclusive to Al-Masdar News shows an Iraqi pilot destroying an Agricultural College in Ramadi that had been converted into an ISIS sniper hideout.
