    Turkish-trained Firka Hamza which is one of the most favorated factions of the National Army has shelled Iranian strongholds of Nubbl & Zahra with Grad rockets as retaliation for the ongoing regime violations in Idlib. This is very symbolic & indicates a new level of escalation.

    In Deir Ezzor, an "" commander, Fawaz al-Teraikhim, has been extorting any Iraqis in the area and some locals: they have to pay him hundreds of dollars per month, or he will label them Islamic State supporters and have them sent to Al-Hawl camp.

    Some informations about Tal Rifaat: - Operation was a suprise for the YPG & FSA - Its mainly Jabhat Shamiyah who is attacking - Suprise moment ended, YPG counter attack started - Only Turkish artillery support - Most likely FSA will retreat today & attack tomorrow again
