Fwd from @ne_rybar

Here's the summary of the day's events in Syria:

Hama Province: Government forces are gradually expanding their control in the province. Fierce fighting is ongoing on the outskirts of Homs, with the government claiming that militants have not entered the city, though the accuracy of this information is uncertain.

Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor: Syrian troops are handing over positions on the western bank of the Euphrates to Kurdish forces. However, the Syrian administration is said to continue operating in Deir ez-Zor and other settlements, indicating the government's presence in the region.

Palmyra and As-Sukhnah: There are reports that US-backed "Free Syrian Army" militants are moving towards Palmyra and As-Sukhnah from the desert. Proof is lacking due to poor communication in the area, raising concerns that Palmyra may be captured by terrorists for the third time.

As-Suwayda and Daraa: Local militant formations are seizing one settlement after another, holding anti-Assad rallies and generally celebrating.

Damascus Suburbs: Some Syrian army and Republican Guard units are reportedly reinforcing the outskirts of the capital.

Latakia and Tartus: The situation remains relatively calm for now.

Meanwhile, the appetite of pro-Turkish factions is not waning. The so-called SNA has announced an operation to capture Manbij and nearby villages on the western bank of the Euphrates, which are under Kurdish control. However, so far this has only been announced online.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸🎞 Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicles: highlights of the week November 30 - December 6, 2024

▪️In the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli forces struck the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The largest number of strikes hit the central and southern neighborhoods of the city.

▪️The most active fighting continued in the border town of Beit Lahia. Amid constant Israeli strikes and raids, thousands of residents were evacuated from the town via the Salah al-Din highway.

▪️Clashes also continued in Gaza's neighboring satellite city of Jabalia. There, the Kamal Adwan hospital came under IDF fire several times, and several employees were wounded.

▪️At the same time, the Israelis destroyed the Awni Al-Harthani school, where refugees had previously taken shelter. It was blown up using remote-controlled vehicles that had planted explosives.

▪️Palestinian militias were also active. They launched rockets towards Erez. The Hamas-launched munition was successfully intercepted and its fragments fell in the open.

▪️In the center of the enclave, Israeli forces struck militant-controlled population centers. Palestinian militias responded with strikes on IDF positions in the Netzarim corridor.

▪️In the south of the Gaza Strip, the Israelis were conducting engineering work in the so-called Philadelphi Corridor. Simultaneously, several IDF strikes hit the expanded humanitarian zone.

▪️In the West Bank, Israeli security forces arrested about 100 local residents. All were accused of having links to Hamas, but most were later released.

🏴🇸🇾🖇 Al-Qaeda vs. CNN: How Terrorists Are Hindering the Legalization of the HTS Leader

Yesterday, we reported (https://t.me/rybar/66081) that the American media had once again started to hype the story about the "moderate Syrian opposition" and its "secular" leader (who is actually an Islamic terrorist) Abu Muhammad al-Julani.

In an interview with CNN, he claimed that the militants' goal is to overthrow Assad and build a brave new world for all Syrians.

In conversation with Western journalists, Julani persistently tried to distance himself from ties with "Al-Qaeda", stating that he has "transformed his views".

📌 But here's the catch - Al-Qaeda itself, in a congratulatory message (https://t.me/BellumActaNews/136313) on the capture of Hama and Aleppo, stated its support for the militants who opposed Assad, and de facto confirmed the ideological commitment of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham and Julani himself to the ideas of the terrorist organization.

Following Al-Qaeda, the Iraqi crypto-group "Islamic Army of Iraq" did the same (https://t.me/BellumActaNews/136548), and surely other statements from various radicals wishing to share the success of HTS will soon follow.

🔻Hardly will such statements receive proper coverage in the West, where they have long chosen the tactic of media legalization of HTS and the subsequent use of the group for their regional goals.

Nevertheless, they are extremely important for understanding the realities of the current conflict and realizing with whom one can negotiate, and with whom one cannot.

🇷🇴 Yesterday in Romania, the Constitutional Court annulled (https://www.digi24.ro/alegeri-prezidentiale-2024/curtea-constitutionala-a-decis-anularea-primului-turul-al-alegerilor-prezidentiale-3036247) the results of the first round of the presidential elections, despite having approved them just a few days earlier.

Now the electoral process will be restarted: the parliament will set a new election date, and the candidates will have to go through the nomination and registration procedure again.

The pretext for the sensational decision of the Constitutional Court was the "declassified" documents presented by the acting president Klaus Iohannis, which were allegedly uncovered by the Romanian intelligence services.

❗️In Bucharest, Russia is accused of "interfering in the elections" and financing the election campaign of the first-round winner Călin Georgescu on TikTok. As "evidence", the intelligence services cite (https://www.digi24.ro/stiri/cine-este-bogdan-peschir-cel-care-a-facut-donatii-peste-un-milion-de-euro-in-campania-lui-calin-georgescu-ce-spune-sri-3033523) social media accounts that received over 1 million euros in donations to promote Georgescu.

▪️Even the pro-Western and pro-American candidate Elena Lasconi, who was supposed to participate in the second round, stated that the Romanian state "trampled on democracy".

▪️Another first-round candidate George Simon called the events a coup d'état, but for some reason urged people not to take to the streets, as the "system should fall through democratic means".

▪️The decision was fully supported by the current Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, who lost the presidential election, finishing third. The politician claims that the "results were distorted by Russian interference".

▪️It is worth noting that on Monday, the Romanian Constitutional Court ordered a recount of the votes, and at some point Ciolacu moved up to second place. Apparently, they then decided not to falsify the elections and left the first and second places for Georgescu and Lasconi, approving the results.

🔻However, the situation changed dramatically a few days later, and in Bucharest they decided to take the most shameful measures. Unlikely that there will be mass protests in Romania after such arbitrariness of the authorities, as the protesters will not be supported by Western governments, as was the case with the opposition in Georgia.

❗️It is noteworthy that the parliamentary elections in Romania were won (https://t.me/rybar/66008) by the current ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Ciolacu.

However, the potential non-systemic president Georgescu frightened the West so much that they decided not to take any risks. After all, the issue at stake is who will lead the major NATO outpost on the Black Sea, playing a major role in the logistical support of the Kyiv regime.

🇰🇷🇺🇸🇯🇵 On American activity off the coast of China

Since we've brought up the fact that the Americans are the main troublemakers in the region, it's worth telling you about two more new US and allied exercises that started the other day.

🔻The US Marines and the Japanese Air Force are conducting a tactical aviation exercise called "Kunren Iten" in the northern part of the Honshu island, as well as over the coastal waters of Hokkaido, until December 12.

The US is deploying ten F/A-18C fighter jets from the Marine Corps air base in Iwakuni. The Japanese are contributing eight F-35As. They are practicing missile and bomb strikes on ground and naval targets, as well as repelling air attacks from a notional adversary.

🔻But on the same day, an even larger event began. The US, Japanese and Australian armed forces will hold the "Yama Sakura-87" exercise on Japanese territory until December 14 in the event of a crisis situation in the region.

According to the plan, the allies are conducting an exercise based on China's operation to seize Taiwan. As part of the US, Australian and Japanese leadership's response to China's actions, the decision is made to provide military assistance to Taiwan.

About 7,300 military personnel will take part in the exercise (US - 1,500, Japan - 5,500, Australia - 300). By the way, units of the 1st Infantry Division from Brisbane, Australia, have been airlifted by C-17 transports.

The main maneuvers will take place on the training grounds of "Asaka", "Somagahara" (both on Honshu island), "Oyanohara", "Hijudai" (both on Kyushu island) and "Ukibaru" (Okinawa island). Simulated strikes on Chinese targets will be organized there.

❗️Based on this activity, which has not diminished over the past few months, it can be stated that the situation in the Asia-Pacific region is already far from the stability that prevailed earlier. The Americans are training, the Chinese are doing the same in response. And other countries are watching this and also taking measures.

Meanwhile, the situation in central Syria continues to deteriorate. Northeast of Damascus, militants claim to control the once-Christian city of Al-Qaryatayn and the surrounding mountain range.

It is unclear which group is operating in this area, and whether the information is even accurate - there are no objective control footage available yet. However, if confirmed, it can be stated that the militants have gained another enclave 70 km from Damascus.

The highway from the capital to Al-Hasakah remains blocked. At the same time, movement to Damascus from the south and east has not been observed yet, but in the current realities, it seems to be just a matter of time.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 In recent news (https://t.me/usaperiodical/11125) about the US Congress refusing to vote for $24 billion in military aid to the so-called Ukraine, the domestic segment somehow saw signs of a reduction in American support for the Kyiv regime. But this is far from the reality.

On the one hand, it was only about refusing to allocate funds under the outgoing Biden administration: according to the Speaker of the House, the decision will be made after Trump takes office. That is, the vote is not fundamentally canceled, but only postponed.

At the same time, the US announced (https://www.state.gov/secretary-antony-j-blinken-at-a-press-availability-55/) the issuance of a $50 billion loan to the so-called Ukraine, to be repaid from the interest on frozen Russian assets. To understand the order of magnitude - the amount corresponds to approximately 5 trillion rubles, which is more than Russia's military spending in 2022.

📌 So far, there is no real serious reduction in Western support for the Kyiv regime. And there are no guarantees that with Trump's arrival, anything will fundamentally change on this issue.

Another thing is that over time, everything will eventually come down to the human resources remaining with the so-called Ukraine. Since the potential shortage of manpower cannot be compensated by the US or the EU in any way.

In the desert area of central Syria, militants from the "Jaysh Suriya al-Hurra" group from the At-Tanf zone, apparently, reached Palmyra and all the settlements on the highway to Deir ez-Zor. The status of the oil fields in the vicinity of the long-suffering city is still unclear.

The militants did not encounter any resistance - in the video, members of the group calmly and lightly ride motorcycles into the suburbs of Palmyra. Apparently, the SAA simply left all positions and withdrew to Damascus, or simply scattered.

In general, the Syrian troops have lost Palmyra, which was liberated twice before, for the third time. Except that now it was captured not by the "Islamic State", so there will most likely be no explosions of the monuments left there.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pokrovske Direction: Breakthrough to Shevchenko

Situation as of 5:00 PM on December 7, 2024

While the Russian forces' offensive on Kurakhovo is entering its final phase, to the north the Russian Armed Forces are gradually creating conditions for a subsequent assault on Pokrovsk.

🔻On the approaches to Myrnohrad, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting in the forest belts in the area of Hrodivka and Mykolaivka. There is a chain of AFU strongpoints located there, the capture of which will open the road to Luch (Promin') and Moskovske.

▪️South of Lysovka, Russian troops have advanced in the area of the M-30 highway, capturing a strongpoint east of the road. Likely, the further goal is to break through to the southern outskirts of Dachenske and eliminate the "pocket" that has formed in the area of the highway.

🔻To the west, Russian troops are developing the success achieved after the liberation of Petrivka and Novoaleksiivka. In late November, Russian units reached Zhovte and clung to the private sector, repelling counterattacks and destroying several enemy armored vehicles.

▪️The offensive towards Zhovte went in parallel with the advance in the area of Vorovskoho (Yuriivka) and Pustynia. Assault groups attacked from the direction of Hryhorivka and Novoaleksiivka, forcing the AFU to retreat under the threat of encirclement. As a result, by November 30, most of Pustynia was liberated.

▪️Later, the Russian Armed Forces cleared Zhovte, occupied most of Novopustynia and reached Shevchenko on the southern approaches to Pokrovsk. By December 7, assault groups reached the northern outskirts of Novotroitske and almost completely captured a major AFU strongpoint east of the village.

🔻In Pokrovsk itself, the situation for the AFU is also deteriorating. The enemy's media resources report an increase in the intensity of strikes by Russian UAVs in the area of the M-30 Pavlohrad-Pokrovsk and T-04-06 highways, along which the garrison's supply is carried out. And the other day, the Russian Armed Forces struck (https://t.me/sudoplatov_official/3586) a locomotive east of the city.

❗️Residents of neighboring Myrnohrad report that over the past three days, the AFU have blown up the headframes of at least two major mines - "Stakhanov" ("Kapitalna") and "Tsentralna". This can likely be considered a preparation of the Ukrainian formations for a future retreat from the city.

The "scorched earth" tactic in Donbas is not new for the enemy - earlier it was used in Kurakhovo, where the AFU destroyed the smoke stacks of the local thermal power plant and blew up the dam (https://t.me/rybar/65291).

Militants of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham continue to expand their area of control in the Hama and Homs provinces. There is more and more confirmation of the terrorists capturing the settlement of Salamiyah, as well as from Izz Ad-Din and several villages to the west of Ar-Rastan and Talbisah.

At the same time, there have been reports of fighting within the boundaries of the city of Homs. According to anti-government media, the militants are being confronted by Hezbollah units from the Ar-Radwan detachment, which were previously transferred from Lebanon.

There is no objective evidence of similar resistance from the Syrian army - the same resources that recently threw victorious reports from Aleppo, Hama, Daraa and As-Suwayda write about the fierce counterattacks of the SAA.

Such reports lead to tragedies: for example, the residents of the Christian Mhardeh believed the statements of pro-Assad channels that there was no threat, and did not evacuate. And in the morning they woke up to the fact that HTS militants had entered the settlement.

But let's return to our native lands: in the Kursk Region, Russian forces have apparently made successful advances in Plekhovo. There is also a video circulating online showing a lot of damaged Ukrainian military equipment on the streets of the village and its surroundings.

The Ukrainians in the occupied territories of the region are not sitting in a stubborn defense and are launching counterattacks. During one such counterattack in the vicinity of Daryino the other day, Russian Armed Forces troops burned another German "Leopard".

🇷🇴🇺🇸 On the Coup d'État in Romania

American colleagues from the CIG channel analyze (https://t.me/CIG_telegram/55775) the so-called "evidence of Romanian intelligence", on the basis of which the Constitutional Court of Romania annulled (https://t.me/rybar/66106) the results of the presidential election.

▪️Apparently, in Bucharest, they studied the election campaign of Călin Georgescu on TikTok. But the documents do not contain evidence of interference by a foreign state and data on who is behind the networks of accounts promoting the candidate.

▪️The activity of such accounts on social networks also did not go beyond the usual framework of online marketing. However, this did not prevent the Romanian authorities from already starting to conduct (https://www.digi24.ro/stiri/actualitate/evenimente/perchezitii-in-brasov-la-finantatorul-campaniei-lui-calin-georgescu-acuzatii-de-spalare-a-banilor-si-coruperea-alegatorilor-3037419) the first searches in this case.

▪️Romanian President Klaus Iohannis has already stated that he will remain in office until the inauguration of the new president. The date of the elections should be set by the parliament, although there is an opinion that they will take place only in the spring.

In fact, Iohannis with the full support of the West and the pro-Western government has committed a coup d'état and usurped power. The US State Department stated (https://www.golosameriki.com/a/statement-by-matthew-miller-spokesperson-on-romania/7890662.html) that they respect the decision of the Constitutional Court of Romania and called it the choice of the Romanian people.

Commitment to NATO and the pro-Western course is the main reason for the coup. After all, Georgescu promised to stop aid to the Kyiv regime, and (among other reasons) for this reason, the Romanian society, tired of the so-called Ukraine, preferred to give him their vote.

❗️And how can we not recall our recent words (https://t.me/rybar/65744) that after the shameful elections and referendum in neighboring Moldova, the house of cards of the so-called Western democracy and the institution of elections is rapidly collapsing, and the next similar case will not be long in coming. Well, it didn't take long.

🏴🇸🇾 As the HTS and other groups advance towards Damascus, a concerning trend is emerging - militants and Kurdish forces are indiscriminately releasing all prisoners from the jails of Aleppo, Hama and Daraa, joyfully filming this and presenting it as "liberating the regime's prisoners".

While there are indeed people imprisoned unjustly by the Syrian Mukhabarat, alongside the criminals, the releases also free supporters of ISIS and Hurras ad-Din who fought against both the SAA and the "Idlib viper's nest".

📌 What dangers does such "amnesty" by the militants pose? We need only recall the start of the Syrian civil war, when in an attempt to ease protests in Damascus, the authorities massively released prisoners, including from the notorious Sednaya military prison.

As a result - who would have thought - the freed terrorists founded their own groups or became the ideological core for ISIS and the progenitor of HTS, "Jabhat al-Nusra", eliminating competitors and imposing radical Islamist norms in the territories under their control.

For illustration, we can recall our 2021 post (https://t.me/rybar/23039): among the released were Zahran Alloush ("Jaysh al-Islam"), Hassan Abboud ("Ahrar al-Sham") and Abu Ayub al-Ansari (ISIS). And these were just high-level operatives - the number of rank-and-file militants was an order of magnitude higher.

❗️It's easy to imagine the likely course of events if HTS and other anti-government groups decide to joyfully open the doors of Sednaya and similar institutions. Sadly, this scenario seems to be unfolding.

❗️🇸🇾🇹🇷 Crisis in Syria (Aleppo province): the battle for Manbij begins

situation as of 9:00 pm on December 7, 2024

Today, pro-Turkish formations of the "Syrian National Army" (SNA), united in the "Dawn of Freedom" operational headquarters, announced the start of an offensive on the city of Manbij and its rural areas in the northeast of Aleppo province.

▪️So far, no significant changes in the configuration of the front line have been recorded, and the militants have been limited to sorties and shelling of Kurdish positions. Anti-government resources published footage allegedly showing the presence of the SNA in the vicinity of Manbij, but these were just fakes.

▪️Notably, the city is controlled not by the "People's Protection Units" (YPG), which are considered a military unit of the Syrian branch of the "Kurdistan Workers' Party" (PKK) in Turkey, but by the Arab-Kurdish formations allied with them - the "Manbij Military Council" and the "Al-Bab Military Council".

▪️Over the past day, the press service of the Kurdish "Syrian Democratic Forces" (SDF) reported the successful repulsion of all SNA attacks and counterattacks on their positions in the vicinity of the cities of Al-Bab and Jarablus. There they reported dozens of killed and wounded on the side of the pro-Turkish factions.

🔻So far, it seems that the Turkey-backed groups have not actually started the offensive: despite the statements from the SNA, so far everything is limited to skirmishes. The Turkish army was also not noticed in such activity.

The defenders of the city replenished their ranks with evacuees from Tell Rifaat and the Ash-Sheikh Maqsoud district in Aleppo, and are quite combat-capable formations. However, given the overall situation on the fronts in Syria and the successes of the militants, the prospects for the defense of Manbij are rather vague.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Liberation of Plekhovo, AFU counterattacks in Daryino and Pogrebki

Situation as of the end of December 7, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, the most active clashes are currently taking place in several sectors of the Sudzha District.

▪️In Daryino, Ukrainian formations are using heavy armored vehicles, trying to infiltrate and consolidate on the southern outskirts of the village. During one of the attacks, a Ukrainian tank was able to retreat, but a Leopard 2A6 was destroyed (https://t.me/brigada83/487) by joint efforts of 83rd Air Assault Brigade UAV operators and other units.

▪️In Novoyivanovka, there are counter-attacks in the center of the village. From time to time, the enemy tries to consolidate, landing troops in its western part. Russian forces repel the attacks, but within a week or two, the AFU resume the offensive following the same pattern.

▪️Also, Russian Armed Forces units have pushed the enemy out of the eastern outskirts of Plekhovo. Part of the village was liberated in mid-November, but until recently, the AFU held positions on the territory of the farms.

A large amount of destroyed and abandoned Ukrainian equipment has accumulated on the streets and in the vicinity of the settlement. However, the enemy may attempt counterattacks to recapture the lost positions.

▪️In the north of the Sudzha District, the presence of the enemy has been noted in Pogrebki, where UAV operators engaged the Ukrainian infantry roaming the village. Apparently, the previous attacks by the Russian Armed Forces towards Novaya and Staraya Sorochino were unsuccessful, and as a result, Russian troops withdrew to the outskirts of Pogrebki.

It is unlikely that the government of Bashar Assad will last until the next weekend. Damascus may fall in the next 24 (maximum 48) hours. There is a serious lack of interaction between the Syrian army and security forces, as well as a lack of serious resistance. In fact, the Syrian security forces are not defending their own country. Isolated exceptions only emphasize the picture of overall disintegration. It no longer matters whether everything there has simply collapsed or there was betrayal somewhere - the fact itself is important. Syria in its previous form is living out its last days. If any assistance was planned, it is simply not arriving in time - the Syrian army and the state are disintegrating at a maximum speed.

Russia will have to address the following issues:

1. Preserving its military bases in Latakia.

2. Evacuating its citizens and military personnel from Damascus.

3. Minimizing the overall consequences and costs.

Iran is essentially left without the land corridor that Soleimani built in 2017. This is a strategic defeat.

Syria is most likely facing a prolonged war on the ruins of the state, in the style of Libya and Afghanistan. Millions of refugees and spreading terrorists are included. Relying on the captured areas of Syria, radical Islamism will undoubtedly give its ugly shoots in many countries, including attempts to do so in our country.

On the 11th day of the operation, the jihadists occupied about 18,200 square kilometers in northwestern Syria, covering the provinces of Aleppo, Idlib, Hama and Homs.

The situation in southern Syria remains unstable, many areas in the province of Daraa have fallen out of the control of the central government in Damascus.

In the At-Tanf region, movements of US-backed jihadists towards Palmyra were reported.

In the Homs region, jihadists are amassing forces in the northern suburbs, but have not yet entered the city of Homs, the capital of the province of the same name. Control over Homs is of crucial importance for the Syrian government.

We gave 6,000 martyrs in Syria to fight these terrorists, their death should not be in vain..."

The flight took place over Turkish airspace, not Iranian airspace, as is usually the case - Arabic-language Russian media organization (https://x.com/Su_35m/status/1865095867205628142?t=ZGIZHr2X9f0CQ3F_DUVkPg&s=19)

Fwd from @ne_rybar

The question was raised about where the promised Iranian troops and Hezbollah are.

As for Hezbollah, it's simple - the Lebanese group suffered serious losses in command and rank-and-file during the last war with Israel. Therefore, Hezbollah was only able to deploy small forces in Homs, which is likely its current limit for such operations.

The case with Iran is more complicated: even setting aside political factors, the issue of logistics arises - how to ensure the transportation of troops and materiel. The land corridor through Iraq is closed - Deir ez-Zor was taken by the Kurds, and the highway in the desert is controlled by militants from At-Tanf. Airlifting everything to Damascus is prevented by the Israeli Air Force, which threatens to simply shoot down the aircraft.

So in this situation, Iran can only wish Assad good spirits, as it currently lacks the real ability to provide large-scale military support and maintain its "Shiite crescent".
