    YPG fanboys and ISIS fanboys are similar to each other. I recount similar wishes during and after the Operation Euphrates Shield. Terror is terror and who ever sympathize with a terror group will lose his human nature. 2 retweets, 17 likes 🙄

    Indeed yes it had. I counted dozens of armed cars and Syrian National Army fighters in the marketplace but more civilians. The marketplace is on a route we used as well. Many cars of the are using this route as well and most of them stop there to shop.

    Hi did this busy and chaotic marketplace have a pair of KPV 14.5mm Heavy Machine Guns in dual AA configuration mounted on the back of a truck when you visited it?…

    I doubt the regime's capacity to bomb a target precisely at night. Even if, they wouldn't take the risk by themselves without a greenlight from Russia. Likely: After the deal with the , Russia wants to ensure control over traffic in Syria and to further pressure Turkey

    The SAA claims responsibility for the recent strike on oil facilities near Jarablus, warns that it will go after any attempt to smuggle Syrian oil out of the country.

    I visited recently liberated areas of Tal Abyad & Rasulayn and see the situation on the ground. I will prepare a video in which I show the situation in the area. Our team had also a very emotional moment when a friend of us has met his mother after 5 years of exile.

    "There are significant differences. The situation in northeast Syria is a direct threat to Turkey’s national security, but the situation in Idlib is not for Russia. A Russian-backed operation on Idlib would be catastrophic as TR can’t bear the burden of 2 million more refugees."

    The return of IDPs IN ES to their homes previously occupied by the YPG is an important dynamic. It has a double effect. Return to home to newly liberated areas and return to ES. Many refugees use ES as a temporary place to return home later but stay in Syria in the meantime.
