Information about joint operation of RF, Iran and Turkey (Astana guarantors) assaulting Nusra in Idleb together has popped up Russians from Latakia, Iran from Aleppo and Turks from their border. Supposedly.
Terrorists violated the ceasefire in eastern Ghouta, targeting residental districts: >sana.sy/ru/?p=117518
The supposed attack in Latakia (claimed by Nusra) was an accident, a civilian had a granade with him (supposedly people carry them around for self defence, sic!) and it exploded killing 2 others: >ria.ru/syria/20170819/1500688374.html
>VIDEO: Hezbollah on the roll in eastern Lebanon, ISIS expelled from a number of hills DAMASCUS, SYRIA (4:30 P.M.) – Footage has emerged of Hezbollah (Lebanese paramilitary group) pushing through ISIS-held territory on the eastern border, looking to expel the terror group from a string of strategic hills.
The video, released on Saturday, shows Hezbollah fighters storming three hills in the western Qalamoun region; namely Shabat Younes, Hafr Wadi Al-Dib and Harf Al-Hashishat. These high points are located in the area between Jaroud Jarajeer and Jaroud Arsal, known to be a jihadist hotbed. With Hezbollah pressing from one sider of the border and the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) advancing on the other, Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (Syrian Al-Qaeda branch) and other opposition groups were forced to accept an evacuation deal earlier this month. However, Islamic State militants in eastern Lebanon have vowed to fight to the bitter end and therefore likely face utter annihilation. almasdarnews.com/article/video-hezbollah-roll-eastern-lebanon-isis-expelled-number-hills/ video in link

>Syrian Army advances against ISIS is east Homs DAMASCUS, SYRIA ( 5:15 P.M.) – Syrian’s government forces continue to snatch more territories from the Islamic State in the eastern countryside of Homs as the group suffers heavy casualties.
Today, the Syrian Army, aided by allied forces and Russian airstrikes, took over several hilltops located to the west of Shaer Mountain, thus paving the way to fully recapture the strategic Bila’as Moutain.
Once retaken, Bila’as Moutain will more likely make it easier for the Army troops to expel ISIS from the areas in controls in in the eastern countryside of Hama as it overlooks the entire area. Meanwhile, Army units in east Hama countryside stormed the ISIS pocket in Aqirbat, and controlled new villages. almasdarnews.com/article/syrian-army-advances-isis-east-homs-2/

So now that the Qalamoun pocket is almost done with, is the pocket south of it real or not? Some maps show it and some don't
>How's that third kotel going on? It's being confirmed by Yusha and Almasdar, but I'm still not convinced they've managed to close it, either way there's probably a few dozens of terrorists in there so it should dissapear quite swiftly. >Are the tigers in one front at a time or many? As their purpose is mainly offensive, they use storm troops and armoured units, they don't tend to hold on the frontline, it's either fast action or transferring to other fronts. Currently they're located in between al-Kawm and Ma'adan, altough in the north the presence of Sha'aitat tribals is much more significant than the Tigers, which are mostly participating in the closing of the Kawm-Suknah Kotel right now. >And how's the republican guard? That's a very general question, specify please.
President al-Assad: "Western projects with the Muslim Brotherhood and groups of so-called political Islam have failed totally, but the battle continues. We will continue to strike terrorism as long as there is one terrorist in Syria." >facefuck.com/almayadeenlive/posts/1897441443842248

I'm not sure, can't find any links or sources regarding this pocket, but logic tells it's probably kept by a local city or military council, kind of like Dumayr, unwritten long-term ceasefire. Sure thing lad, if I happen to find some more I'll share!

Lebanese military says that they are not collaborating ith hezbollah in the Arsal operation and thank the US for supplying them with weapons[1]. While the picture shows that this is not the case at all. The operation is a joint effort by Hezb and LAF [1].southfront.org/us-boosts-military-aid-to-lebanese-armed-forces/

>VIDEO: Syrian Army close to liberating strategic east Homs town BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:10 P.M.) – After many weeks of fighting in and around the provincial border area between Homs and Deir Ezzor Governorates in Syria’s far southeast, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its paramilitary allies are finally on the verge of liberating the strategic town of Hamimah (also known as Humaymah).
Recent footage (below) captured by Hezbollah’s media wing shows pro-government infantry – under the cover of heavy mortar, rocket, missile and tank fire – storming Hamimah and engaging rearguard ISIS forces in the process.
According to military sources exclusive to Al-Masdar News, pro-government forces have so far captured the rump of the large desert town, however full control over the settlement has yet to be accomplished and then officially declared. Hamimah is of immense strategic importance insofar as it serves as the gateway to the T-2 area in southern Deir Ezzor Governorate and, beyond that, the means by which pro-government forces can reach the middle Euphrates region. almasdarnews.com/article/video-syrian-army-close-liberating-strategic-east-homs-town/ youtube.com/watch?v=EYrdfF5IHCI
