  • A little news from occupied Palestine.

    Palestinian al-Qassam Brigades forces stabbed to death four Zionist occupation troops (including an officer) in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya refugee camp, seizing their assault weapons. Yesterday, the resistance also killed another five occupation troops in central Jabaliya: https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/12/19/739372/Qassam-Brigades-claims-to-have-killed-4-Israeli-troops-in-northern-Gaza-stabbing-attack

    The fascist Tel Aviv regime’s warplanes attacked Yemen’s As-Salif port and Ras Isa oil facility in Hodeidah province; and two power plants in Sana’a. The attacks killed nine civilians. In response, the Yemeni Armed Forces struck Tel Aviv with two Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles and a drone: https://sputnikglobe.com/20241219/houthi-missile-lands-direct-hit-in-tel-aviv-amid-tit-for-tat-attacks---photos-1121216865.html

  • Some more recent news from Syria.

    This news summary states that ‘unknown gunmen’ (likely the re-organizing Tiger Forces) ambushed and killed several al-Queda “HTS” fighters in Jableh (a coastal city in Syria’s Latakia province). In addition, the summary also states that the Zionist invaders captured the southern Syrian settlements of Beit Jinn and Um Batina: https://southfront.press/military-situation-in-syria-on-december-15-2024-map-update/

    The Zionist invaders are also, unsurprisingly, attempting to ethnically cleanse the indigenous population of the occupied southern Syrian settlements by cutting off power and water: https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/12/15/739099/Israel-water-power-Syria-Quneitra

  • Some Syria news for today.

    The big news of the day is that former officers and soldiers of the Syrian Arab Army’s 25th Special Mission Forces Division (Tiger Forces) are organizing in the coastal, mountainous areas near Lebanon and have vowed to continue fighting against the Western-backed terrorists. The announcement is very reminiscent of how Green resistance forces continued fighting against Western-backed terrorists in Libya for many years after NATO destroyed the Jamahiriya: https://x.com/Megatron_ron/status/1866927900886467014

    Iranian Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei stated, “The more they fight the resistance, the wider its front will be, and it will be stronger and include the entire region … America is trying to establish a foothold in the region, but it will not achieve its goals, and the resistance front will expel the Americans from the region”: https://thecradle.co/articles/fall-of-syria-planned-in-us-israeli-war-rooms-khamenei

    Turkish-backed “SNA” and al-Queda “HTS” forces captured the eastern Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor from Washington’s “SDF” proxies: https://sputnikglobe.com/20241211/what-is-the-strategic-importance-of-deir-ez-zor-and-could-it-cause-new-kurdish-syrian-conflict-1121150295.html

  • Brief summary of today's Syria news.

    Turkish-backed “SNA” fighters captured the northern city of Manbij and the surrounding countryside from Washington’s Kurdish-dominated “SDF” proxies.

    The fascist Tel Aviv regime continues attacking Syria all over the country (even brazenly striking army bases in and near Latakia, an arms depot near Izra (in Daraa province), Damascus’ Barza neighborhood, Homs, an airbase in Qamishli, and many other locations). The Zionist invaders now illegally occupy the southern Syrian settlements of Quneitra, Madinat al-Baath, and Hader; and an army base on Mount Hermon. So far, the Salafist armed groups have not offered any serious resistance to the Zionist invasion. Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, and Iran condemned the invasion.

  • Some Syria news for today.

    In order to concentrate Syrian defensive forces in the western part of the country (currently under al-Queda “HTS” attack), Damascus reached an agreement with the Kurdish-dominated “SDF” groups and withdrew from Deir ez-Zor, Mayadin, and Albu Kamal (in eastern Syria): https://southfront.press/kurdish-forces-enter-deir-ezzor-under-deal-with-syrian-army-videos/

    Apparently, the agreement with the “SDF” also helps relocate Syrian troops to defend Palmyra (in eastern Syria): https://tass.com/world/1883689

    The Syrian military and Russian Aerospace Forces continue striking the terrorists in Hama and Homs provinces (note, I’ve read elsewhere that allied forces eliminated another 300 Western-backed terrorists and 35 armored vehicles (including seven tanks) over the past 24 hours): https://tass.com/world/1883269

    The Syrian military repelled a terrorist attack on Latakia province: https://tass.com/world/1883259

    An Iraqi spokesman stated that Iraq does not seek military intervention in Syria. However, he warned that the division of Syria is a red line for Iraq (at this point, we should not fully rule out the possibility of Iraq and Iran sending regular troops (not just volunteer units), if it becomes absolutely necessary): https://ina.iq/eng/36861-al-awadi-iraq-does-not-seek-military-intervention-in-syria.html
