On January 31, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the Tiger Forces and the National Defense Forces (NDF) advanced further on positions of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in the countryside of the town of Abu al-Dali in the province of Idlib.
According to pro-government sources, the SAA, the NDF and the Tiger Forces captured Sukariyah, Salhiya, Dhahabiyah and Tall Khatrah facing little resistance from the militants.
On January 30, government forces seized Halban, Zahbia, Jadida and Tawil Halib in the same area.
The ongoing SAA advance is slowed down by a complicated security situation in the government forces’ rear where the ISIS-held pocket still threatens the government-held area in northern Hama and southern Idlib.
On the same time, the Turkish Armed Forces still make attempts to establish additional observation points in the western part of the province of Idlib. If they are able to do so, they will limit the SAA operations against militants there.
Orcs are about to break and run again!!!
I mentioned before, the main propose of Turkey invasion to Syria is to protect its terrorists in the area. What a wonderful Russia’s friend.
It often pays in life to keep an unstable ‘friend’ onside and that is easier with dialogue and then confronting them quietly with reality.
Rather akin to making friends with a neighbours barking dog, the odd gift of a sausage often calms things down :)
More than that they have been looting the Idlib region and they haven’t disarmed their proxies yet and now they want to set up check points.
Where setting up up border observation posts to give our terrorists friends all the help we can The only army who has fought with dignity is the Syrians. They’ve had every bastard and his half brother try to break them for near 7years and they fight undertone laws of the Geneva convention, who send UN foxes who talk a good show but are fucking zionist to the core
The SAA has launched 2 fronts in Idlib because of Turkey’s 2 convoy moves in the region both on roads going to Fuo’a, they have also pushed ISIS from Juub Zaryq in Hama. SAA and Russia are playing to win while Turkey is trying to buy time to continue looting alongside their Proxies. Right now the UN envoy is strongly endorsing Sochi Talks, while you see the band of bandits from Ankara, which were an all Turk delegation. That opposition took the opportunity to smear and disrupt the Talks. Think the world will be smart enough to catch the fact it was Turks there and not Syrian delegation.
But they mainly protect them from US backed terrorists so it’s good for the Assad government at this point.
Leave the strategy to Putin, so far Assad has been liberating huge territories of Syria.
