[ALMASDARNEWS] The Free Syrian Army... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... , ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... -backed Islamist proxies and the Turkish military have advanced on the western Jarablus countryside taking a number of villages from ISIS and reaching Sarjur lake, a video showed. The Turkish-backed forces fired 107 shells at 25 ISIS targets. There were no reported deaths of the Turkish-backed holy warriors. Although there were reports of a truce between Turkey and the Kurdish YPG, Ankara quickly denied these allegations and rejected the United States’ offer for a ceasefire. Russia joined Iran, the United States and La Belle France in being critical towards Turkey’s Euphrates Shield operation in northern Syria. Only 23km now separates Islamist held al-Rai to its other areas of control in Jarablus, whilst the YPG factions in the eastern Afrin canton have 42km to connect to its areas of control around Manbij. Meanwhile, ...back at the bunker, his Excellency called the chief of staff and complained that the artillery was keeping him awake... South Front have suggested there is a race to al-Bab between Islamist Death Eaters and the YPG. Posted by: Fred 2016-09-01 |
