Syria’s new government, which is led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, made new gains in the east of the country, but lost more ground in the southern region.
Late on December 10, the government’s Military Operations Department (MOD) announced that it had taken control of the city of Deir Ezzor after expelling the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Before dissolving with the fall of the regime of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) handed over all of its territories in Deir Ezzor to the SDF, which is backed by the United States. The SDF however failed to secure support from Washington to maintain control over these areas and a defection within its Deir Ezzor Military Council helped create enough pressure on the group to withdrew as the MOD advanced.
Along with Deir Ezzor city, the SDF lost several towns in the northern countryside and all the areas formally held by the SAA in the southern countryside down to the al-Qa’im crossing on the border with Iraq. The MOD is now in control of most of the western bank of the Euphrates River.
The push in Deir Ezzor was a major win for the MOD, especially that it came with minimum cost. However, tensions with the SDF and the U.S.-led coalition, will likely grow.
Meanwhile in southern Syria, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continues to advanced beyond the buffer zone with the occupied Golan Heights.
As of early December 11, Israeli troops were reported spotted near the town of Dimas, just a few kilometers to the west from the capital Damascus. The IDF will note likely enter Damascus. And despite some threats to the country’s new rulers, Israel appears to be optimistic about the recent developments in Syria.
Aside from its ongoing ground operations, the IDF continue to target the bases and equipment of the SAA all over Syria.
The IDF announced that the Israeli Air Force and Israeli Navy carried out over 350 strikes during the operation, dubbed internally “Bashan Arrow.”
The military said that it had struck “most of the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria.” It estimated that it destroyed 70-80% of the former Assad regime’s strategic weapons.
The waves of airstrikes carried out by Israeli fighter jets and drones hit Syrian air defense systems, airbases, weapon depots, and weapon production sites in Damascus, Homs, Tartus, Latakia, and Palmyra, according to the military.
The IDF said that the airstrikes destroyed many long-range projectiles, Scud missiles, cruise missiles, coast-to-sea missiles, air defense missiles, fighter jets, helicopters, radars, tanks, hangars, and more.
In addition, the Israeli Navy’s strikes at the Minet el-Beida bay and Latakia port on the Syrian coast destroyed 15 Syrian naval vessels, according to the military.
Israel will not likely pull out from Syria anytime soon. Furthermore, the destruction of SAA assets will likely grant Israel more freedom of operation in the future. This will undermine the sovereignty of the new government. Many are already criticizing the MOD for not responding.

its a transition of power for greater israel. they take land of the kurds up to the entire euphrates. and will transfer the land over time to israel. first a southern state south of damascus a so called druze state that israel will annex later once lebanon is taken over by these turkey and israel funded headchoppers they will give the whole of lebanon and everyting west of the euphrates to israel
and the jihadists will help israel to clear the land of all its inhabitants and culture. the land will be cleared. the jihadists are israels land clearing firm. so later the rich and greedy jews can settle all the land and build their settlements and call you an anti semite for opposing their crimes against humanity
you are wrong about them. they will fight israel more than any syrian government ever did. but this isn’t the time. assad’s weapons are largely obsolete. a new syrian military will be outfited with modern weapons and trained to use them. the most important thing for syria now is credible elections followed by building a new military supportive of the civilian government. training and armament will follow. then we’ll see how powerful israel is conventionally.

so far these rats have not fought israel they have recieved medical care by them weapons and training. they are fine with israel bombing syrias remaining military stockpiles and even attacked and disabled the syrian armies anti air radars and sam systems so israel could bomb the entire airforce and military stocks into smoking piles the past couple of days. they are israels goons and they help israel in becomming greater israel at everyones expanse.
israels spy chief even said we have a total different account with isis then we have with hezbollah. saying they have full backing from israel. listen these islamist cockroaches will never attack the hand which feeds them thats israel and turkey and they will destroy all that is left of syria and its people and culture
terrorists of turkey backed htc, finished esad’s regime after 13 years, syria free now. general al-colani (president 1st) of free syria so smart. new government will fix it.

israel cannot take and keep land from a turkish ally. israel is strying to spread chaos in syria. the fact the sunni rebels did not respond yet shows their maturity. they’ll solve one problem at a time. the first job right now is to eliminate as much internal militant threat as possible. then the return of syrians and an election supervised by the united nations. syria needs a government with public mandate and no arms embargo. turkiye will handle the rest.

they will take and hold the land and they also want to destroy turkey eventually once they wear out their usefulidiotness. israel wants to annex haytay from them. and if you disagree your a antisemite and booeehhooe these poor juus oow its so sad the ethernal professional victim cries out in pain as he strikes you. shoah business is profitable business.
as much as i agree that syria needs a stable government without arms embargo its not going to happen. israel wont allow it. turkey is in israels pocket just as much as shabbosgoy aliyev unfortunately. israel dous not want syria to exist it wants to annex the land and drive out its population through terror expulsion and genocide. like they are doing in gaza. erdogan only barks he dousnt bite he hasnt done anything to improve the palestinian cause and make israel hold back for once.
israel is given a free pass by the shabbosgoy trump they installed him so israel will have unlimited support from its colony. the us tax payer will see their billions send over to the professional victims in israel who cryout in pain boooeh hooe holocaust while they are commiting the worst genocide against the palestinians and arabs in syria and lebanon in modern history
would you call the rape, lynching and pillaging by the sunni rebels also mature, or more like moderate? i suspect the coming democracy in syria will be comporable in success to that of libya and iraq.

me sawyer jens holm saxon too busy in tel aviv gay bars to notice
why travel so far, al-jolani is progressive and is about to open the first gay swinger club in idlib. let’s celebrate!

general al – colani 1st president of syria free. al-colani is smart. he will fix gay bars,problems too. just wait elections.
syrians must absolutely eradicate the sdf from syria. know that no leader of the sdf is syrian none they are all foreigners.
the russians have been taken out, the iranians have been taken out, now it’s the americans’ turn to come out.
finally we will destroy the zionist terrorist state that is israel.
for peace in this region there is only this path that is possible, and i challenge anyone here to prove me wrong anyone.
better get some nuclear insurance first like iran is going to do. shia and sunni should unite against zionism because these beasts of satan are coming for muslim lands. they will not stop until they build that turd temple. the ummah should be rallying millions of fighters in preparation for this event
i agree but these dummies would rather fall for the divide and rule tactic of the enemy. iran and yemen are cool, but the rest of the muslim nations should be ashamed of themselves. hezb ollah fought with honor but i believe they were set up. the syrian army, once honorable, will be remembered in shame. the entire umma is shameful.
very shameful. when i look at jordan, egypt, the gulf. it is absolutely pathetic. but let us not despair. ikhwan have a strong presence in egypt and jordan and the gulf. they simply need to be activated and rallied. majority of arabs support them. the money addicted traitors in the military are being bribed by the americans. once that money dries up. its game over. america cannot keep bribing the world forever
hezbollah doesn’t care about muslims. iranian militias have killed more muslims than daesh terrorists. yes for the ummah but you can forget about the shiites. i’m not sunni. i’m muslim.
turkiye doesn’t need its own nukes provided pakistan’s rogue generals fall. pakistanis struggling to destroy the military mafia running their country for america. if they succeed, expect a nato-style military alliance between turkiye and pakistan before erdogan leaves. this will quickly expand to include qatar, sudan, libya, and syria. the alliance would mordernize and expand pakistan’s nuclear arsenal to build thousands of nukes.

one thing is 100% sure. israel’s nuclear monopoly must be broken. i know iran can do it tomorrow if it wanted. the only thing preventing that is the decision has not been taken yet. pasdaran and ayatollah have their reasons we do not yet understand.
terrorists of turkey backed htc, finished esad’s regime after 13 years, syria free now. general al-colani (president 1st) of free syria so smart. new government will fix it. russia out. iran out. kurdistan in. rojova in. turkey in. israel in.
if you have foreign powers constantly in the region it is not worth it. the shiites i would say the iranians hate the arabs. in the islamic texts there will be an army of bad muslims who will attack the chosen one the one we call the mahdi. god knows but it is the shiites i am sure.
yeah, but remember the hadith of the prophet (saw). i fear syria will not get back onto its feet before the mahdi emerges. it’s the mahdi who’ll solve the syrian problem. but i agree with you that muslims must do something to deal with america’s evil. the only challenge i have for you is one question: what happens if al-jolani decides to become syria’s next dictator? i’ve been reading up on him and don’t like most of what i found.
threatwatchers.org
elhamdülillah i know these hadiths well. but that doesn’t change the fact that foreign powers should not stay here under any circumstances. then as it will happen with the mahdi. everyone is waiting for him but when he will be here at some point it will be the last great war.

the sunnis are already showing what bitches they are by allowing the jews to steal more land. zionism is the western cancer in the region that needs to be dismantled
don’t worry friend. there’s time for everything. it’s always best to wait and do things at the right time. that’s erdogan’s and my style. the israelis fear the sunnis more than they fear shias. because we’ve always been the guys who liberate jerusalem and we aren’t afraid of a fight with them. except for saddam, they haven’t defeated any sunni country militarily yet. and we are many. we gave them a bloody nose in afghanistan. they’ll get another in syria.
threatwatchers.org
yesterday i recall thinking…israel will regret no longer having an enemy like iran next door. because the alternative to that will be much worse for them. bring back the shahids. while iaf was bombing beirut like wild animals, hezbollah did nothing in tel aviv except against military targets. that is not how you fight with beasts who kill civilians in your capital.
they posted and comment
whatever gains israel makes in syria are temporary. trump has made it clear. the new war in syria won’t be a us war. i bet he will bring us troops out of harms way as soon as possible after inauguration. if he can’t do it so quickly then he will surely order us troops out after the sunni-wahhabi headchoppers in control of syria start killing us forces with them road side bombs, ied, efp & other nasty toys like they did in iraq & afganistan. nobody can blame iran now
iran will be judged as taking a good decision to cut its losses in syria. the land bridge was unsustainable without air cover and air defense. turkey should learn the same lessons. invest in espionage, intelligence networks, satellites, air force, air defense, jamming and cyber war. get some nukes. the jews and american will learn their place. remember, they can only feel good when they kill women, children and air strike people with no air force.
trump is notorious for eating his own vomit or shit. they’ll eventually talk him into staying in syria. remember it was during his administration that america recognized the golan heights as israeli territory. he’s still very pro-israel despite netanyahu’s betrayal after the 2020 election was rigged. he was the most pro-israel president in u.s. history. he also appointed two anti-turkiye figures to shape his middle eas policy.
threatwatchers.org
i hope they do that and that after that they will remove israel from all syrian territory including the golan. i doubt them to be a serious fighting force as all they have done so far is helping israel in destroying what remained of the syrian army and military and strategic stockpiles. those should have been used against israel instead of going up in flames. its a waste of resources.
kabooom! a turkish airstrike targets the “general security” intelligence building belonging to the pkk-ypg terrorists in the city of raqqa. erdogan means business. good for him.
american troops are moving into rakka. its a good time to blow them up too
no, no, no. they come to spread demoncracy. they come in peace. …
good to see cohesion among syrian sunni rebels. i hope they manage to defeat america and establish democracy in syria. al-jolani himself doesn’t seem to like or talk much about democracy. if they u.s. manages to convince him to mount a coup or impose dictatorship, a fresh civil war may break out. if al-jolani and turkiye reject dictatorship in syria, a fresh civil war will likely break out. what’s the way out?
threatwatchers.org
sunni arabs should stop infighting. who benefits from that? from syria was born the mighty umayyad caliphate who built the great mosque in damascus and al qods. then the infighting with abbasids led to its downfall. it is time to learn from history
sunnis only go for weaker targets, meaning all non-sunni unarmed civilians of syria. to them it’s more disgusting to live next to shia then next to a zionist, they will accept israeli occupation with a smile if it means they can kill just a few more shias.
russia control the coast ….don’t move get it putin.
terrorists of turkey backed htc, finished esad’s regime after 13 years, syria free now. general al-colani (president 1st) of free syria so smart. new government will fix it.
the only silver lining here is that after completing their control over syria, we get to enjoy seeing karma unfold as israel finally moves to annex the cowardly jordanians and then also the western half of saudi israelia and exterminate their docile arab populations. after that we can finally see karma hit the turkoids as israel and usa move to integrate turkey into israel and also exterminate them (or maybe cowardly turkoids just accept to be the client state of israel).
