In general, the situation continues to worsen for the Caliphate, tactical successes are no longer cover the strategic failures. Loss of “black” are significant, the state is reduced in size. Yet Caliphate saves competition of military blocs led by the United States and the Russian Federation and tossing between Turkey, but it only weakens the pressure that even in this form in which it is now, causes a very painful blow to the Caliphate, which has to increasingly think about migrating their activities on the territory of other countries, as well as the military command of “black” can not fail to understand that in a purely military sense, the Caliphate will sooner or later lose the combined forces of the Russian and American coalitions, even if they compete with each other.

Battle for Aleppo. 13.08.2016 – Colonel Cassad
The military situation at Aleppo to August 13, 2016.
1. At the front in the area of 1070/3000 no special changes. CAA sit in Hamadan, 3000 and 1070 piece in the eastern part of the region. Militants in the central and western 1070. Attacks CAA in 1070 did not bring much success. This morning there is continued fighting, but with less intensity than yesterday. The district continues to be subjected to intense bombardment, as located next to an artillery base. Similarly, shock and subjected Rashidin Hikma school. Progress in the area of Agrab as much was not. However. a significant portion of the corridor was in active combat zone, which naturally made it impossible for any transportation through the area, so that the question of supply for the militants are still very relevant, but in the defensive battles they certainly solve this problem can not.
2. In the fighting in isolation, CAA failed to gain a foothold in the garage area, which are now peculiar neytralke between the positions of the CAA to the north of the junction in residential areas and the positions of the militants in the north of the main complex Ramuseha. The same goes for the interchanges. The problem is that there is an open area, robust buildings, on which you can rely almost no trenches especially not to delve. Therefore, isolation as she was, and remained on the disputed territory. The positions of the militants in the northern quarter of Ameria Ramusehe and adjacent to it also exposed bombings. The attacks from the south as well have not led to significant advances – the key point area (municipality, the post office, a bakery, and a plywood factory and a gas station – is still controlled by the militants), CAA, Hezballa, “Liwa al-Quds” and the Iranians sit in the region of the cement plant. Between the positions saved “neytralke” through a vacant lot (between the southern and Ramusehom cement plant). The southern edge of the district badly damaged, the basic positions of the militants are just in the middle of the block.
3. In the south of the corridor, the militants still retain the hills Mahrukat Tal and Amir. In good, here the attack after appropriate training promises more opportunities than trying to break through the defenses of insurgents in street battles. But this requires a concentration of artillery and armored vehicles. Infantry “Harakat al-Nudzhby” in offensive action was a so-so, so then of course it is desirable to reinforce the more prepared parts. Militants in turn strengthened in quarries, digging trenches on the back side of the hills, as well as strengthen the approaches to Khan Tuman. Apparently, too, realize that something can follow from this side.
In the north of the corridor, there are clusters of fighters FSA Kafr Hamra and Haritane. Western Farm District Mallah shelling with mortars, but no serious attacks until it was not. The road from Castello functions, although in the case of a nasty blow to the militants northwest it can become vulnerable.
4. Attempt militants hit the road over the Itria Hanasser-traditionally. “Green” copied the tactics of the Caliphate – a surprise attack led to the capture of the reserve El Gazalyan. Along the way, the militants destroyed a couple of roadblocks and opened the way to a key supply road Hanasser Aleppo. Online course in the 4 th time I started to panic, “Assad is surrounded.” In fact, given the terrain, a foothold in this way is very difficult and the militants threatened to really just an extension tachanok road and fire it from Strelkovka and machine guns, as well as the mining of it (which is the maximum it could paralyze 1-2 days). But they do not even give, traditionally from Hanassera popped “fire brigade”, which mop up the breakthrough area beat off reserve back and regained the lost ground. According to Syrian sources, the enemy suffered heavy casualties. In general, the local crisis was quickly resolved. Compared to the Caliphate, “green” worked very sluggish.
In general, the tendency to positional maintained. Direct attacks on the positions of militants in the corridor until it yielded only modest results. Militants in spite of their threats have not been able to develop the offensive to expand the corridor. Attempting to probe track Hanasser Aleppo on their part as well ended poorly. The intensity of the bombing is still high.
The situation is frankly hung, and continues to wait for his permission.

Thousands of Saudi-Backed Terrorists Ready to Enter Syria via Border with Jordan
Saudi intelligence officers have been training at least 7,000 anti-Syria fighters in Jordan’s territories and plan to dispatch them to the war-hit country via its Southern borders to distract the army from the war in Aleppo, Arab media disclosed.
“Over 7,000 men have been trained in a Saudi-established military camp in Jordan near the border with Syria’s Dara’a province, and now they are ready to be dispatched to join other terrorists’ battle against the Syrian government and army,” the Lebanese al-Manar reported.
“There are several British and western military trainers and advisors in the Saudi-established camp. The western officers are to accompany the fighters in their war against the Syrian government,” the paper said.
Jordan hosts a large refugee camp near the border with Syria.
Other sources also disclosed that the US officers have been involved in training of terrorists in Jordan to fight against Syrian government.
War analysts believe that the move is aimed at diversion to distract the army and its allies from the war in Aleppo in the North where pro-government troops have started massive offensive to take back the country’s second largest city from the terrorists.
Meantime, earlier today armed opposition groups in Southern Syria declared that thousands of militants are ready to reconcile with the Damascus government.
A provincial council affiliated to the militant groups in a statement admitted that 25,000 militants are looking for reconciliation with the Syrian government forces in Southern Syria, al-Mayadeen TV channel reported on Saturday.
The statement by the ‘Council for Men of Knowledge in the Levant’ has accused the terrorist commanders willing to compromise with the Syrian army of treason.
It has given the militant commanders in Southern Syria three days to withdraw from al-Mouk Operations Room (which operates under the Saudi, Qatari, the US and Jordanian spy agencies), the television added.
The Al-Mouk Operations Room has been accused of corruption, similar reports in a number of other Arab media have cited the financial corruption of the Operations Room members as a main cause of the militants complaint and their decision to surrender to the Syrian army.
Early in August, around 1,000 rebels laid down their arms and turned themselves in to the Syrian officials in the province of Dara’a amid the terrorist groups’ threats against those who surrender to the government.
In February, the Syrian Army dispatched more soldiers to the country’s Southern provinces to be deployed at the border with Jordan to defend the country against the possible aggression of the Saudi Army.
“A large convoy of reinforcements from the Syrian capital of Damascus arrived to the 5th Armored Division headquarters of the Syrian army in the town of Izra in the Northern part of Dara’a province and the Eastern part of Sheikh Meskeen,” the sources said.
“The Saudi Army has been conducting a number of military drills in the Kingdom of Jordan in recent weeks, raising the alert level of a possible war in the Dara’a province,” the sources said, adding, “So far, nothing has come of these Saudi military drills and it is very unlikely that they will attempt to enter Syria.”
