The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) said on December 7 that it was redeploying in two southern governorates, after a war monitor reported government forces had lost control of most of Daraa and al-Suwayda.
“Our forces operating in Daraa and al-Suwayda are redeploying and repositioning, and establishing a… security cordon in that direction after terrorist elements attacked remote army checkpoints,” the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces says in a statement carried by state media.
Late on December 6, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based pro-opposition monitoring group, said that local anti-governmental armed factions had taken control of more than 90 percent of Daraa, including the eponymous city.
In neighbouring al-Suwayda, the monitoring group and local media said the governor, the police and prison chiefs, and the local ruling Baath Party leader had left their offices as local fighters took control of several checkpoints in the city and countryside.
In addition to these losses in Daraa and al-Suwayda, it was reported on December 7 that the SAA was withdrawing from some areas in the countryside of the southern governorate of al-Qunitra. Russian troops are known to be deployed there.
The armed uprising in southern Syria came amid a large-scale offensive by al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its allies in the country’s northern and central region. So far, the militants have captured more than 800 square kilometers, including all of Idlib governorate in addition to the cities of Aleppo and Hama.
It is still unclear if the militants in Daraa and al-Suwayda were coordinating with HTS, or if they simply took advantage of the situation.

southern militants have reached 36 km from damascus central point. they keep on advancing.
on center syrian army has done good job and stopped rebel advance outside of homs. after yesterday morning there was no advance, tiger division held their ground.
on desert rebels have taken qariyatein and tanf us rebels are assaulting palmyra direction.
syrian army in its lowest morale since the start of civil war. no russian support. no hezbollah and no iran to help them.
game over to assad.
agreed. rebels have overrun lots of cities in damascus province. they are 20 km from the central point of damascus right now. they also have overrun whole quneitra province.
rebels have made side attack. they almost surrounded palmyra and assault towards homs from the desert.
rebels are inside homs city.
and then russian base totally cut-off the regime-held territory. time for russia to go home full of shame
rebels are inside damascus. russians better hurry.
its not over. damascus is still in the hands of government forces as well as the alawite areas of tarsus and latakia. if the government manages to hold damascus and the alawite states they can still win this war what they need to do is prevent the terrorists from capturing too much equipment and resources. once the perimiter is secured the army can work its way back into business to reclaim all lost areas including the sdf held territory.
the question is whenever iran or russia have the resources to spare or assads allies in other middle eastern states will supply him with some knowhow. even if damascus would fall in its entirety dont have the illusion that latakia and tarsus will be taken by the terrorists and from there russia can help assad to reclaim everything once they are less occupied in ukraine
i must say that i admire your optimism.
are you still under the perception that assad will make a comeback and rebels will be beaten?
it’s not over yet but will be next saturday (or maybe earlier): this resembles the taliban sudden takeover of afghanistan.
and a lot the tet offensive, 1968. but russians are not the us with several carrier and marine division there for help.
would agree to that. how about 20 ton bomb on them?
now your great military plan succeeded. syrian army lost damascus and homs. when exactly will they start their great offensive to take the entire syria?
putin & assad are cucks
oh yes palmyra, last time those savages occupied that ancient site they smashed ancient artifacts up with sledge hammers and beheaded the old man who was the caretaker who refused to leave, i still can’t work out whats going on here with the russians they seem to have bombed the places the terrorists have already taken but they don’t seem to be bombing those long convoys on the road as they advance.
that was different group.. isis.. us rebels from tanf are close to palmyra. not even hts.
they are all the same, adherents to a religion of conquest that doesn’t understand other histories outside their ideology.
and followers of which religion did holocaust, killed american natives, enslaved millions, chopped hands and legs of people in congo for not working fast enough? it must be osama.
and who is making genocide in gaza? must be osama again.
there is verse in the bible about people like you. who saw a prick in someone elses eye.
well with the exception of the holocaust it was all the same group that now uses the jihadis to reach their goal today called the west or the rules based order in the past they had different names yet are all of the same cloth.
the nazis did the holocaust, and they sure as hell weren’t christians. as for enslaving millions and chopping people’s heads and limbs, off, that credit goes to the muslims.
same thing. us/isr/turkey-backed fascists.
same thing.
finkiest nazis lost karelia to russia
probably it’s good time for the russians to leave before it’s too late.
they are already packing their s300s from latakia to tartus. they knew they will be cut off. assad is going game over pretty quickly soon
but ukraine willl not win war because s300 is go to russia again
id say russian loss of only base in mediterranian and rupture of relations with turkey is a huge win for ukraine. ukraine probably spent only few millions to make this happen.
i doubt turkey and russia will ruin relations. they are more mature than that. ukraine spends more effort in syria than ukraine, what does that say about “ukraine”. it will be a carve up either way
if russia doesn’t reevaluate relations w/ ankara now, they’re doomed to fail out of extreme naivety. how many minsks putin will fall for?
true, russians and turkish relations are strong syria events can not stop this.
fuck turkey, fuck those relations. it is about getting killed, state, a country to dissappear. can’t you understand?
ha, there won’t be much left of your beloved headhackers with fab3000s currently being dropped on them.
ukraine spent nothing: the usa did.
the russians will not be allowed to go past the dardanelles with military equipment if this reaches russia then it does so going all around europe up to the north western ports of russia. remember this forces are comming right from turkey where they have gathered and trained. the hight tech stuff they capture will go to the usa the rest will be handed over to uikraine. once syria is taken these forces will move to ukraine as well.
god ur dumb
really? rt and sputnik report on massive airstrikes on the headloppers- from the photo on rt it looks like fab 3000s are being used.
not yet, russia just begun dropping fab3000s on the headloppers and they’re scattering to avoid being minced. photo on rt.
the russians are jewish slaves like jewtin they send them to die for the new khazaria
erdogan. firsth nargono karabakh. now syria.

there’s a consistent pattern now of erdogan secretly accumulating armies and then unleashing them on unsuspecting foes
lol, your referenced site claims that erdogan and the usa are different actors with different goals, hahahahahaha!

i wonder what is going to happen next in the region.
100 % kurds vs hts
plus isis reappearing again
they never really went away they have been protected by the us, russia must share the blame they trusted erdgogan allowed terrorists to leave aleppo for idlib and never bombed those us bases in syria, what did they think would happen?
the kurds are controlled by the usa as is turkey if the usa order both they will cooperate at least until syria is conquered and then start to fight over it.
they are both on the same side
more chaos, syria could fragment into groups fighting each other just like libya with no government to be taken advantage of by israel and other external forces.
the turkish-backed fascist goons will expand their war against the nsf (now called aanes for some reason), they’re already doing it in manbij. the sdf may capture some smaller areas from damascus (they just took deir ez-zor, a key city south of the euphrates) but will most likely be destroyed by us abandonment and turkish direct intervention. israel will be left untouched.
for those who claim that turkiye coordinates with america and israel in syria, i just posted a 2k word analysis debnking this mispercetion. the opposition in syria is mainly sunni and dominated by islamists based in istanbul. america’s greatest threat in the muslim world is turkiye. it’s currently allied officially or unofficial with qatar, somalia, libya, sudan, azerbaijan, and maybe soon syria. golan heights in jeopardy for israel if hts/fsa/other sunnis win.
question : will turkey ever leave nato ??? ………………so they do whatever america and israel tell them to
go to the un with your comic script, i’m sure you’ll get a standing ovation.
comedy. you say turkey will left nato.
i really hope damascus falls soon. then you’ll see the real jihad against israel. it’ll be launched by a turkiye-backed democratic government in syria. no need to rush. 5 – 10 years to build a new powerful military comprising battle-hardened rebels. i use to tell you guys here that iranians are cowards. you’ll agree with me if a sunni government takes power in syria.
id see the bigger danger for israel being that turkey will get a client state. if erdogan stays in power i expect turkish army will build syria air defence and they will have direct access to israeli border. turkey is far more advanced and far greater threat to israel than iran, or hezbollah.
lets see if khaminei and erdogan learn to dance tango together.
idiot this all part of the bigger plan of the damn zios, destroy and divide a country into multiple faction. look what happened to libya, iraq and now syria. soon the rebels will fight each other in an endless conflict!
im eager to witness that and laughing on the general muslim when they feel deceived
it is already a multi faction conflict. now there are 4 factions, soon 3.
do me a favour you arsehole, jihad against israel, those head choppers have spent the last ten years fighting syrian arabs supported by israel, be gone with your bullshit.
the only muslims who do not serve the west seem to be shias for whatever reason. it was not allways the case in bosnia the iranians still cooperated with the usa and where there to compete for influence with turky and the gulf arabs.
what are you talking about? the turkish government is all freemasons. it is a well known fact that turkey did nothing but just made a woof-woof animal sound at israel while they were razing the sector of gaza. turkey supplied more fuel and resources to israel than anyone else.
game over for assad. saa is a joke, they deserve total annihilation for refusing to fight. let them enjoy a new era of caliphate! damascus is falling in less than a week!
assad family is already in moscow. he is waiting for his flight. he will spend his xmas with putin. assad is going to give russian army some great advices how to win war in ukraine.
more garbage from the fin bin.

f off terrorist zionist lover. stop spreading your bullsh*t about your analysis and terrorist propaganda website. we get it. you love the head choppers zio lover bast*rds. so again f off!!
probably the turkish version of a unbiased fact checker who just sells the government line even more blunt then the so called western fact checkers.
you are nonsence. tell your bulshits to the gays from denmark.
lot more russian naval power in black sea soon and a significant increase in military aviation punch too.
the bosporus is closed 😆
firstly the bosphorous doesn’t prevent russian military aviation returning and neither does the agreement (montreux 1936) for the russian navy to return back to base. lol
russians wanted to leave the black sea and evacuated from sevastopol and were denied. every russian military plane has to fly over the caspian/ iran/ iraq/ syria route cause the turks on order of the usa deny any passage but al quaida moved thourgh turkey and georgia when they assistet aliev to kill and displace armenians in nagorno karabakh. doors are only closed to russians.
cope. this is major defeat for the eurasian bloc. and i don’t like it the least but those who trusted erdogan are to blame.
if you hadn’t noticed turkey is aligning with brics not the eu. russia and iran are brics.
they are aligning towards the brics. opportunity knocks. they don’t have any illusions about their security. the pkk is a security issue. this syria backed incursion, among other reasons , is probably a definitive move to eradicate that threat, regardless of the “morality” of the means they’re serious players. so we’re the soviets . herein lies a fundamental strategic conundrum for this russian government perhaps ? there’s more to a country than just carpetbagging jew oligarchs.
if the dwarf in moscow were a true patriot (like peter, catherine or stalin), he would defend russia’s vital strategic space in the mediterranean (homs, damascus, latakia, the tartus naval base and the nearby air base), even with nuclear weapons against turkey. but he does nothing because he is a handicap and a traitor, and russian patriots must remove him from office before it is too late, that is, now.
who? the only opposition are the communists. i concur that russia would be better off under communist government: there would have been no minsk truce, no trusting of erdogan, no armenian genocide in artsakh. we could cheer russia with much greater reason too.
precisely. zhironovsky was a patriot, but gone. somehow i don’t think he could have envisaged even years back that he could even win against this hebe stacked kremlin. the communists were led by a pavel grudinin in the duma, held a good % of seats, but i don’t know if he’s still around. what alternate elected parties are there never seem to be mentioned. rt coverage poor, as with their present platform. viable alternative governance not visible.
iran and russia has abandoned assad. damascus is now a sitting duck. it will be days before the rebel factions reach the outer gates of the syrian capital
not days.. but one hour.. rebels are in the capital already..
says who… finish tv?
or is it finnish tv?
one positive sign is that the geography north of homs now seems to be funneling the rebels in a way that makes them easier to pick off and less capable of a broad advance. in addition, the saa is still on the flanks of the rebels even further north in hama. the saa seems to be exploiting the rebels’ own haste by positioning itself on the rebel flanks. opportunistic use of helicopters at random moments along the roads could also be devastating to the rebels
a classic lesson in the value of speed, mobility, and alertness in war – the accelerating cost of nasrullah’s/iran’s failed strategy of gradual escalation. refusing to savagely hit the zionist entity, gave it the time and initiative plus aggressive use of air power to defeat hezbollah, contain iran, and encourage other uprisingings.
the sacrifice of thousand for years all for nothing in just a few days
russia and iran unreliable we must submit and bow to usa and israel let god alone fight them
gods do nothing, people do.
china needs to militarize and very soon, russia cannot be the bulwark of resistance on it’s own.
currently not required, as russia has just started dropping fab3000s on the headloppers from hama to aleppo. erdogan will need tweezers to pick up the body parts of his proxies.
china watches and will make a ribbentrop/ mollotov kind of deal once russia is weak enough they may have had other plans but they are surely disguested by the weakness of the so called number one world power. and the chinese were allways visible upset that the russians pereived themselves as an equal to them. chinese in this relation are as racist as japanese towards nonasians.
china is not fighting but rather playing diplomatic games and betraying natural allies like algeria or even iran for us satellites like morocco, saudia or boluarte’s peru. would china dare to fight, they’d lose their main markets overnight, plunging into major economic crisis, which the dengist regime can’t withstand.
not only was the 2020 agreement with erdogan a bad one, but russia reported like a 1000 violations of said agreement and still did nothing, this is the result of russia’s impotent strategy. i understand russia is absolutely terrified of erdoganistan. putin is erdogan’s puppet and pays tribute to his beloved sultan.
erdogan has russia caught by the underbelly: not just the bosphorus strait but also azerbaijan and turkic central asia. otherwise i concur.
all this started with hamas’ badly timed attack on the zionists. hezbollah saw no choice but to try and help palestinians even if the timing was not good, this resulted in both hezbollah and hamas being hit very hard! then turkoid zionist terrorists saw hezbollah was greatly weakened and took their opportunity to take over syria. ofc, russia’s impotence and policy of appeasing erdogan is another key factor.
now israel can wait for the syrians to kill each other off and then move in and take over everything, thus the greater israel project will advance safely to the next stage. us military bases is syria will soon be “legalized” and expanded.
the only thing i am looking forward to in this is the day the turks realise they are supposed to be cut in pieces as well. the west does not want any nonwestern country to be strong enough to deny them anything and it has not forgotten how turkey denied them to use bases in turkey for the second iraq war.
“badly timed”?
isil could soon be on their way to jerusalem via the road to damascus.
isil = cia, mossad, mi6, mit, ukr gur, gulf mukhabarts….isil was nowhere for palestine. they will be nowhere for palestine even if they are next door. sunni arabs are jewish american bitches now
no body will pay them to go to jerusalem so the wont. they only get mones to kill the arabs who dont bend the knee to the usa.
they love israel, they proclaim it all the time (of course: they’re puppets of usa and turkey, what else!)
these arabs are stupid first they collaborate with anyone who plays their egos then howl and scream when everyone betrays them
lawrence of arabia….nothing learnt from that lesson. never trust a brit bearing gifts, they are slimey as a snake. the british cannot be reasoned withm much like zionists. put them in the corner with the toys and take away all sharp objects in sight
you can be upset at reality sometimes, but you can never help a man who does not want to helped. this includes the zionists, who are beyond salvation, they ae deprave sadistic parasites. it also includes sunni arabs, who are too coward. if they are making a deal with the devil that sells out palestinians for their second class status in a system that will always oppress them. they they deserve that oppression
🫵🤡 😆😆😆
the zios dont need any help they are winning without it.
russia is a pathetic blowhard. talk is cheap while they bend over for zionism.
zionism is a cancer that will consume every goyim in sight. if sunni arabs think they can coexist within this system, then let them find out the hard way. you cannot fix stupid. like zionists who think they can bomb their way too freedumb. sunni arabs who think they can surrender to freedumb. life is merciless to cowards and self anointed chosenites
russia is not the world police you pathetic ho. if the syrians themselves don’t give a shit about their country then what the fuck is russia supposed to do.
i agree but russia should have never entered into syria in the first place. now all those arab sunnis hate them and will follow the call to kill russians in ukraine and russia as well after syria.
the jews want to build the greater israel and jewtin has backstapped assad and betrayed him for his jewish chabadnik friends, this is a fault of jewtin he given promises and he is betrayed them
the question is why did he enter there in the first place without russia all of syria would have allready been a israeli prison camp where the isis and al quaida thugs fight for who controls which city and village.
a real 3-days smo
la única forma de detener el avance yihadista hacia damasco es con la intervención de rusia, irán, houties de yemen, milicias iraquíes y tribus árabes, enviando tropas, además se podría pedir ayuda a tropas coreanas o chinas que serían enviadas desde yibuti. esto debe de hacerse de inmediato y así poder desterrar para siempre a los yihadistas de siria.
utilizando tropas rusas, iraníes, milicias de yemen, milicias iraquíes y utilizando artillería, misiles de medio alcance, y el uso masivo de drones de ataque suicidas y drones fpv se podrá liquidar de una vez para siempre a estas organizaciones terroristas patrocinadas por occidente e israel.
