>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday that Israel was prepared to act unilaterally to prevent an expanded Iranian military presence in Syria.
>It seems that at this moment, the sounds of a cavernous orchestra that mixes the sounds of modern Russian anti-aircraft missiles with the sounds of Iranian ballistic missile factories with a delicate scent of uranium sound so rattling that it is amazing how the world does not shudder at the very sound of these sounds
>Is the combination of an unprecedented air defense system in our region coupled with an Iranian feeling that they are completely immune to any damage to the missile factories they are building in Syria, and also to Lebanon, which are intended solely to try to destroy the State of Israel, not causing instability in our region that will force the relevant parties to try to destroy the threat? At all costs ?
>Does Russia understand that Israel will do everything, including everything, to preserve its survival?
>The meeting between Netanyahu and Putin and the departure of senior intelligence officials to Washington indicate the panic in the defense establishment of recent developments in Syria.

ISIS militants are not the members of a military of a government recognized by the Republic of Iraq or the UN; therefore, they are simply civilian casualties.
Who the fuck cares?

Hey /sg/, I never visit this thread, but I recently read an article that very breifly mentioned that there are Christians fighting in this civil war. I wondered how I might somehow contribute to these people. is there anything I can do?

ISIS doesn't follow the Geneva Convention, thus they should not receive the treatment laid out by it.

Kill them KILL THEM ALL they choosed that live so let them pay for it. She actually admited to be part of the fighting force(killing iraqi forces) and that she don't regret it. Srly there are many shia,christian and yezidi forces let them kill the foreign people. They wanted to help their "Brothers" si why not with their death? I mean hat would be better than kill all the natives, not because they didn't deserve it but because that would cause another insurgency nobody cares about them. Not the Iraqis not the countrys where they fleed before just let the Iraqi people fullfill theirm vengence sentiments with them so they can build a "peacefull" society again.

They have to be associated to an actual government, such as Syria or Iraq, to be considered legitimate.
ISIS has no rights. Technically, even killing them on the battlefield is a crime, but really, who the fuck cares? War is a war crime!
>Source needed. That's what I should say. You need to actually cite the Republic of Iraq and prove they recognize ISIS and believe it is entitled to control territory in western Iraq or is otherwise an extraterritorial state, meaning you'd have to prove Iraq basically recognizes their Caliphate. Protip: It isn't.
Yes, they're civilians. Ever heard about the blurring of the line between civilian and combatant or whatever?
No one gives a fuck that they're civilians precisely because they're running around killing people and acting like soldiers, occupying territory.

I know it's a war crime, but I don't care PMU would throw them off a cliff like they did in Mosul.

i also wouldn't care but i know for sure that the iraqis are excuting civis, they are just arrest random people for having "ties" with isis and end up excuting. they're just a bunch of fucking cowards

I just realized what a major fucking outmaneuver the Bishri blitz was. ISIS thought, same as me, that SAA would go to DeZ via the Euphrates to avoid getting flanked between Shola and DeZ. So they figured destroying the SAA foothold at the Euphrates whilst the Tigers were busy at Taybah would slow the advance on Maadan down. Instead The Tigers held their ground (relatively successful) and simultaneously stormed Bishri whilst RuAF butchered the 4 elite ISIS units. This means ISIS wasted their best units on the wrong front (should've spent it by flanking the Shola-DeZ strait for maximum damage) and are pretty much toothless for now. No wonder it looked like they were evacuating Maadan after realizing they'd be stuck otherwise.

holy shit the typos. i also wouldn't care about anoyone excuting or even raping isis memeber they deserve even worse, but i know for sure that the iraqis are excuting civis, they are just arresting random civis for having "ties" with isis and end up excuting them .
Jack Martin
There should still be a due process though, I don't agree to summary executions.
>Must be signatories to the Geneva Convention (even if they do not actually obey its rules), and must be recognized by the international community [citation needed]
>Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units, provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.
Even civilians that literally pick weapons moments before they are captured are considered combatants, not civilians.
i was wondering why most of the troops on the maadan front consisted mostly of tribal fighters.
Justin Powell
This. Summary executions end up killing wrong people all the time.

>Using surface-to-surface missiles, the Syrian Arab Army’s 42nd Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division launched a vicious attack on the eastern Damascus suburbs of Jobar and ‘Ayn Tarma.
>According to Al-Masdar field correspondent, Ibrahim Joudeh, the Syrian Arab Army’s 42nd Brigade launched more than 10 surface-to-surface missiles on the Islamist defenses, scoring several direct hits on well-fortified trenches and installations in Jobar and ‘Ayn Tarma.
>Joudeh added that the primary target for the Syrian Army on Saturday night was Jobar’s Al-‘Arab District and ‘Ayn Tarma’s southeastern neighborhoods.
Not sure if the high command predicted the ISIS offensive tbqh I mean, better have expendable yokels killed and all, but it slowed down the offensive around sukhnah and they lost equipment. Oh well, war is war.

>BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:20 P.M.) – At least 30 more Syrian soldiers have been released by the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the southeastern countryside of Damascus, tonight, following a deal between the latter and the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) to exchange prisoners.
>According to Al-Masdar field correspondent, Ibrahim Joudeh, the 30 military personnel released in the deal were members of the border guards that were previously deployed along the Jordanian crossings.
>Joudeh added that the 30 soldiers were released along the Sweida-Damascus axis, where they were welcomed by a large army party that included the head of the Syrian Air Force Intelligence in Al-Sweida, Wafiq Nasser. Leith Fadel | AMN >The release of these soldiers by the FSA comes at the same time downed Syrian pilot, ‘Ali Al-Helo, was released by the aforementioned militant group in southeast Damascus.
