DAMASCUS, SYRIA (9:00 P.M.) – With the intensity of clashes reaching an unprecidented peak on the eastern fringes of Damascus, the Free Syrian Army’s (FSA) Failaq Al-Rahman launched a failed counter-attack on Sunday, resulting in the death of approximately 20 rebel militants.
Meanwhile, FSA anti-tank units conducted two consecutive strikes earlier in the day. The first attack targeted a gathering of Republican Guard units who where standing behind a sand barrier which proved to be a lifesaver for the unsuspecting government soldiers: The second attack proved more succesful as a US-manufactured TOW missile scored a direct hit on a T-72 tank in the Ayn Tarma suburb:
Similar to a video released by the very same FSA group a couple days ago, the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) armored vehicle was not immobilized upon impact.
With the FSA and SAA battling it out in East Damascus, two rival jihadist factions – Jaish Al-Islam and Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham – are fighting each other in the neighboring East Ghouta.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:30 P.M.) – After a major advance by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) today in the district of Ayn Tarma, whereby the SAA attacked the suburb from four axes capturing large parts of its southern and western areas, Faylaq al-Rahman militants launched a counter-attack in a bid to retake the areas wrestled from them. In doing so the Islamists only succeeded in sustaining large losses.
Faylaq Al-Rahman rebels had hoped to surprise the SAA and eject its troops from the newly liberated areas before they consolidated control. However, in the event this was not to be as government soldiers were already well-prepared for any counter-attack.
The Islamist militants were to walk into a number of ambush zones set up for them by the SAA throughout the newly liberated areas.
According to a military source, the main component of the ambushes was the use of pre-dialed zones of fire by SAA artillery units. This served to break-up militant concentrations as they approached the contact line.
Reports say that Faylaq al-Rahman lost more than 20 fighters killed in action, the majority of which died as a result of SAA artillery strikes.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (8:30 P.M.) – On Sunday, ISIS insurgents launched a localised counter-attack in the eastern countryside of Homs, targeting the newly liberated Al-Mashirfah hill that overlooks the long-standing government fortification of Jubb Al-Jarrah.
Preluded by a succesful suicide bombing, an elite ISIS Inghimasi unit assaulted the government-held hilltop which is located some 60 kilometers east of the provincial capital.
As fierce firefights continued for several hours, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) finally withdrew from the strategic point on Sunday afternoon. Amaq Agency claimed 20 SAA soldiers were killed following the attack, primarily due to the initial car bombing.
Upon enquiring with a military source stationed in the area, Al-Masdar News was informed that the hill had indeed fallen although the alleged death toll could not be confirmed.
The SAA is now regrouping for a counter-attack to recapture Al-Mashirfah hill which nevertheless remains under firm Islamic State control for now.
Since launching a large-scale government offensive earlier this month, the SAA’s Desert Hawks Brigade, Military Shield Forces and National Defence Forces have liberated a handful of villages across the provincial border between Homs and Hama, a region representing a massive ISIS salient that stretches across much of central Syria.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:00 P.M.) – The Ahrar al-Sham Islamist faction has released a 9-minute propaganda video showing its sniper service in action against pro-government forces throughout several embattled regions of Syria.
Based on the footage shown, it appears that the favored weapon of choice for Ahrar al-Sham’s snipers is the Soviet-built, semi-automatic Dragunov design which uses a standard rifle-caliber bullet.
This stands in contrast to better-armed jihadist factions such as the Islamic State whose snipers have been repeatedly seen to use high-powered anti-materiel rifles (some of them remote-controlled) of various designs.
Though Ahrar al-Sham’s rifle-caliber Dragunovs are limited in range compared to the anti-materiel rifles used by ISIS, the Islamist group’s snipers are shown to be exceptional shots, hitting their intended targets at distances well beyond the recommended range of the Dragunov (which is about 800 meters).
At least a dozen snippets are shown of Ahrar al-Sham snipers landing shots at likely up to one-and-a-half kilometers, where the drop curvature of the bullet is clearly apparent.
In the video, it appears that not all kills boasted by the Islamist group were in fact hits-on-target. Nonetheless most of the claims made are visibly provable.
It is quite possible that many of Ahrar al-Sham’s snipers have been trained by well-paid foreign specialists.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (4:15 P.M.) – An amateur video published by a Turkish soldier on Facebook emerged on Sunday showing what appears to be the beheaded bodies of militants wearing the People’s Protection Units’ (YPG) insignia.
The highly graphic video depicts Turkish-speaking men in uniform holding the severed heads of Kurdish fighters whose bodies lay dead on the ground. Viewer discretion is advised:
Al-Masdar News cannot independently verify the footage nor the exact location of the footage.Nevertheless, summary executions are common place for the Turkish Army during counter-insurgency operations against the PKK or its sister branch, the YPG. Another similar video featured the execution of female PKK militants was also leaked a couple months ago.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:50 P.M.) – The Syrian Ministry of Defense released video footage on Sunday that showed their armed forces, alongside Hezbollah and Liwaa Fatemiyoun, liberating most of the Al-Hayl Gas Field.
The video footage above was captured by the Ministry of Defense during Saturday’s advance, when the Syrian Army’s 5th Corps and their allies broke-through the Islamic State’s main line of defense at the Al-Hayl Gas Field.
In addition to the Syrian Army’s ground operations, the video footage shows Russian and Syrian jets pounding the Islamic State with a barrage of airstrikes.
While the majority of the gas field is under Syrian Army control, the Islamic State is still clinging onto a small portion of this site in order to slow down the government’s advance to the key city of Sukhnah.
Sukhnah is the Islamic State’s last stronghold in the Homs Governorate; it is also strategically located along the main highway to the Deir Ezzor Governorate.

Annexion of /ptg/ by /sg/ when ?
John Morgan
Nice. Though tell me mate, what if the cold war had gone hot in 1989 or 1990? Would Nato had been able to stop the Soviet attack without using nuclear weapons? These recent wars have shown that Russian tanks equipped with ERA are able to withstand tows(older models) and other western atgms and certainly the Soviets would be using top of the line models of T-72 and T-80s unlike the monkey models the one arabs used. Considering the inventory of the soviet army and airforce en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Army#Equipment en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Air_Forces#Soviet_Air_Force_inventory_in_1990 There was alot of material they had in-store for war. What is your opinion?

Well, Al-Masdar covered most of the recent developments, other than that a push in Quneitra, closing on Jihadi stronghold on Golan border and significant gainz in Ain Terma.

When I think about it, I can't find a reason why Islam still exists in the 21st century. What is the secret of it's continuity and adaptation ? I don't understand why "muslims" think they're obliged to fast in ramadan, for example.
Scary thing is, its not going anywhere, and it will swallow and outlive any and all opposition.
Personally I belive that what happens is the sole good, and since Islam happened and is still going, dare I say then, that it is for humanity's good ?

Hey Assadist faggots. My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures of Assad, Putin and the SAA. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of Jews, Sunnis and Americans because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook. Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than “jack off to naked drawn Suheils”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:30 P.M.) – Reports have just come in from the front in eastern Homs that the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies, in their ongoing advance towards the strategic town of al-Sukhnah, have captured most of a key mountain chain which overlooks areas of the al-Hayl gas field that have thus far eluded their control.
After liberating the rump of the al-Hayl gas field yesterday, the SAA today achieved the capture of most the hilltops within the al-Qalilat mountain chain to the northwest of the al-Hayl area.
In addition to securing this strategic stretch of high-ground which overlooks the al-Hayl complex, the SAA also managed to kill over twenty (20) ISIS terrorists.
After the advance made today, the northern part of the al-Hayl complex which is still controlled by ISIS should soon be abandoned by the terrorist group due to the fact the jihadists are now under the fire control of the SAA’s artillery.
There are additional benefits to this latest advance, for the area of the al-Qalilat mountain chain already captured today also offers fire control over a large stretch of the remaining road between the al-Hayl complex and the strategic town of al-Sukhnah. It serves to not only give pro-government forces an ideal terrain for taking the remainder of the al-Hayl area and defending their new positions from any possible ISIS counter-attack, but also to ease the remainder of the journey to al-Sukhnah itself.

With this development it seems that the push to encircle the whole east Homs area will start in Rasafah, after Suknah is secured, and Shia militias will try to link up with 124th (rebranded 30th) and the Tigers somewhere in the middle, maybe around al-Kauk area.

Yes. Because what happens was fated as a result of a previous unchangeable chain of causes and effects. The chain began with an unknown first cause. The word good means "appropriate". Not a question of good or evil. And since the current reality is your only option, for your own sake you'd better consider it good.

women are children in adult bodies they will always work to serve their own selfish interests at the loss of the community greater good they always want to rebel at social structures yet constantly seek an strong authoritarian figure to protect them (that's why they always vote more to the left for bigger government involvement and nanny states) the biggest mistake made by the west is thinking that women can lead nation and that their opinion is relevant but you cannot reason with immature being that's why women will be always spearheading depravation (transgenderism, open border, anti religion etc.) i could spend the afternoon redpilling you the the matter but i unfortunately don't have time check out this vid as a starter youtube.com/watch?v=UxpVwBzFAkw

This, maybe regular Sup Forums wants to see it, or they could take it to a sub-reddit
do you think they will encircle them? or just make slow progress? surely if ISIS retreat before the encirclement, retaking the eupherates is going to be alot harder?

I'm not sure, see it indicates that indeed 3rd of the 5th shock troopers were headed elsewhere (probably east Homs) and they're going to use Tigers exclusively for the push, don't know if it's going to start soon because it's a huge operation, so lots of time is needed for logistics.

Iraqi Kurdistan is already the best part of Iraq, most safe, stable and prospering in terms of economy. Abadi will not allow them to gain any kind of internationally understood sovereignity though, no matter the outcome of referendum. Yes, I think they will, but at the same time pressure will be put on east Homs from the western side.
