[KhaamaPress] Local sources in the northern Afghan province of Samangan say that Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... forces are still searching homes door to door in Aybak, the province’s capital. Additionally, 25 young people are said to have been arrested as a result of these searches, according to some domestic news sources.
On Sunday, July 17, the Taliban reportedly began house-to-house searches in various areas of Aybak city and carried them out until late at night, with 25 young individuals reportedly detained during these searches.
According to sources, a door-to-door search was resumed this morning in the Karte Sulha neighborhood, which is near the city of Aybak.
This is despite the fact that the Taliban had already searched people’s houses in Kabul calling it a "search and clear" operation, in the capital of Afghanistan.
Regarding the search of people’s houses in Samangan, the local Taliban authorities have not yet made any comment.
Afghans have been terrified by the house searches, which have brought up terrifying memories of previous house searches by previous governments.
The Afghan people have been forthright in posting images and videos of the chaos the Taliban forces have wrought on social media, criticizing what they call "violations of privacy," "intrusive behavior," and "suppressing dissent".

Just in case you're wondering just wtf is being searched for, because the article won't say...
These are essentially police operations. Small time criminals, drug peddlers, thugs and loud mouths, rapists and 'naughty men'. As we all know, moslems are way more efficient at doing to moslems exactly what they deserve. And they shall. The talibs are trying to establish an administration that looks legit.

Those are far out of their reach, at least the ones who are still active. The good ones who took sides with Massoud and Saleh before the two departed at a goodly pace have become the new resistance. Some of the NRF is still active in Panjshir, in Faryab, in Baghlan. Guerillas. Everyone else mostly made peace with the Taliban even before they'd won. Hell, that's probably the reason they won. Most ex-alliance, ANDSF, they all stand proudly saluting the turbans nowadays. And Taliban made good on promises to some who were influential enough. They're learning politics as they go.
Subversives and spies, yes, there may be many. Aybak though, is a city. Peaceful, what passes for a metropolis in this hellhole, some 80 klicks south east of Mazhar e Sharif. If there are NRF guys and gals here, or some kind of cells left by Massoud still hunkering down in residentials, they're stupid.

[REGNUM] Thousands of Shiite Hazaras, including women, children and the elderly, fled the fighting area during fighting in Balhab district of Saripul province in northern Afghanistan, the Shafakna news agency reported .
It is noted that a number of refugees arrived in Mazar-i-Sharif to avoid revenge from the Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), but the Taliban forces (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in this city pursue and arrest residents of Balhab .
According to local sources, the Taliban special services broke into a hotel in the center of Mazar-i-Sharif last night, arrested a number of residents of Balhab and took them away in an unknown direction. The motive for these arrests is unknown, but it seems that intelligence is looking for people wounded in the Balkhab war. One of those arrested was wounded in the arm.
It is reported that in one of the hotels in the Mandawi district of the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, Taliban militants (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) demanded to extradite the wounded residents of Balhab, but left it after a physical search, not finding the wounded.
A few days ago, a photo of Maulavi Mehdi Mujahid, a Hazara commander of the Taliban now fighting against them, was published, showing that he and some of his people had made a halt in the mountains.
Local sources report that after the publication of this photo, the Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) increased their harassment of the residents of Balhab, and also set up several roadblocks on the roads leading to Balhab, and no one is allowed to leave or enter the area.
According to the publication, on July 16, a meeting was held at the Bazarak mosque in this district with the participation of some residents of Balkhab and representatives of the Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation).
The meeting discussed the return of Balkhab refugees to their homes, and the Taliban put forward several preconditions. In particular, representatives of the local population must ensure that no action will be taken against the Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), and local residents will also not have to travel without permission to other provinces.
It is also reported that the Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) demanded that the Balkhabis confirm the UN data on 27,000 temporarily displaced persons, but, according to open sources, their real number may be more than 50,000 people. All of them currently live in the mountains and gorges and are in a catastrophic situation.

[REGNUM] In the Afghan province of Zabul, unknown people killed Hedayatullah, who served as the commander of the first security zone of the administrative center of the province - the city of Kalata under the previous government. This was reported on July 18 by the newspaper "8 Sobh".
Local sources told the publication that unknown people took him away from home at night and then killed him. Hedayatullah's body was found in Kalata Central Park.
It is noted that representatives of the Taliban movement (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) have not yet commented on this information.
The publication recalls that earlier in Zabul, many of the former security officials were arrested, tortured, disappeared or were killed.

[Dawn] A powerful boom-mobile killed at least five people on Sunday outside a popular hotel in central Somalia, police and witnesses said, in an attack claimed by bully boyz aligned with Al Qaeda.
The blast injured 14 others and destroyed not just the hotel but adjacent buildings in Jowhar about 90 kilometres (56 miles) north of Somalia’s capital Mogadishu.
Police said the attackers rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into the outer wall of the Nur-doob hotel, popular with state politicians and other local officials.
"They have killed five civilians, among them women working in the hotel and security guards," said Mohammed Ali, a police officer in Jowhar, said.
"Fourteen other people were maimed, some of them inside buildings not even close to the hotel." Al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... , a Somalia-based group tied to Al Qaeda, grabbed credit for the attack in a statement posted on a pro-militant website.
Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre, who was endorsed by Somalia’s parliament in June after a recent change of government, sent condolences to the victims and offered to assist those injured.
Ali, the police officer, said the blast "was the biggest ever seen in Jowhar" and caused significant damage to buildings in the city.
Mahad Ibrahim, a Jowhar resident, said the earth-shattering kaboom sent shrapnel flying and clouds of smoke and dust into the air. The force of the shockwave ripped the roof of his house, he added.
"I have never seen such devastation. I saw some dead bodies recovered from under the debris of the part of the hotel that collapsed." Another witness, Abdirahman Shabelow, said bystanders were maimed by blast debris.
"I saw two civilians struck by shrapnel some distance from the hotel... the blast sent a powerful shockwave felt in every house across town." Al-Shabaab have been waging a deadly insurgency in Somalia for over a decade and remain capable of executing major attacks despite a long-running African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... operation to degrade the bad boys.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS] At least a recruit of brigades loyal to the UAE was killed and four others injured in armed festivities in the port of city of Aden, southern Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... , on Sunday.
Local media reported that the commander of the so-called "Amaliqa Brigades" forces, Abu Zara’a al-Mahrami, instructed his button men to exercise restraint, following the bloody festivities.
Sources reported that an armed attack was carried out by members of al-Arish police, affiliated with the security belt of the Southern Transitional Council, towards a post, in which the recruits of the "First Amaliqa Brigade" are stationed in al-Arish neighborhood of Khormaksar district.
The sources explained that the attack resulted in the death of one of the Amaliqa recruits and the injury of 4 elements from al-Arish police.
[BenarNews] Bangladesh police said Monday they had arrested an ARSA rebel commander at a Rohingya refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar who was among the most wanted criminals — bringing to three the number of suspects captured in the area this month with Death Eater links.
Until lately Bangladesh government officials and authorities had long denied allegations about the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA)
...a.k.a. Harakah al-Yaqin. The main Rohingya krazed killer group operating in Myanmar's troubled Rakhine state that borders Bangladesh's southeast, and also in the Rohingya refugee camp in Cox’s Bazaar, though Bangladesh adamantly refuses to accept the idea that it’s there. It was ARSA’s attack on several police posts in Rakhine in 2017 that caused the Burmese Myanmar army to crack down, driving three quarters of a million Moslem Rohingya back to Bangladesh, from whence they had illegally migrated a century or two earlier...
rebel group, which is based in the neighboring state of Rakhine in Myanmar, having a presence in this southeastern district. Cox’s Bazar is home to camps and settlements near the Burmese border, where about 1 million Rohingya are sheltering.

The Rohingya Salvation Army 🙀 is actually the Harkat ul Yaqin, a minor terrorist group that renamed itself this to appear like some righteous resistance against communal cleansing. They arose independent of the primary Rohingya terror group, the Arakan Army, the militant wing of the ULA (united league of Arakan). Forces of Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, plus armed buddist extremists have been absolutely kill kill killing the Arakan Army and have forced them to police their own people under threat of extermination. But a number of ULA people support and protect the Harkat or the ARSE or whatever. Also, some Sörōs sponsored enn gee ohs have been lobbying, whining in the media, buying influence and spreading bribes faster'n a sociology grad spreads the crabs, in the subcontinent to bail out and assist Rohingya in their survival.
I understand the judeochristian 'Gawd is is love' thingy, and also the modern humanist one, but Rohingya are one of those communities that need to be put Outta their misery, trust me. It's one of those things instances in ye oldè testament teach us.

Try Harakkah al Yaqin. That'd be the Burmese way of saying it. Harkat or Harakkah would be 'action' or 'movement' while Yaqin means faith. That's the real name of these buggers.
#4
Yeah, they were insignificant. Once again, it's the paki ISI that trained and armed a bunch of dirt daubers with sticks and stones and built up their ranks with fraternal moslemnicious encouragement.
#8
You're welcome. Fun trivia: this Jununi fellow, the leader of ARSE? Jununi means 'mental' or 'psychotic' in Urdu. Anyway, he's actually just a bastard of a local Paki tougher and a rohingya woman, born in Karachi. His brother's still in a jail in Pakistain. Real name's just Ataullah.
[Shafaq News] Security authorities in Saladin deployed reinforcements in the outskirts of the Toloul al-Baj sub-district to secure the Baghdad-djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... road, a local official reported on Monday.
The administrator of Toloul al-Baj, Hatem al-Shammari, told Shafaq News Agency that the new reinforcements at the first defense line in northern Saladin aim to curb ISIS movements near the sub-district.
"Everything is under control," he said, "all the security gaps have been plugged. A new security plan is pending execution to secure the sub-district and the vital Baghdad-Mosul road. The Tribal Mobilization is also involved along with the other formations."
Earlier this month, al-Shammari warned via Shafaq News that the security gaps in Toloul al-Baj might jeopardize the Baghdad-Mosul vital road.

[Rudaw] Two Ottoman Turkish soldiers were killed during intense fighting in the Kurdistan Region, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... ’s defense ministry confirmed on Sunday raising the corpse count among Ankara’s fighters to over 35 since the launch of its most recent military offensive in Duhok.
Ankara said the two soldiers were killed during festivities with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), identifying them as Selahattin Taskin and Omer Faruk Civelek.
Turkey launched its latest operation dubbed Operation Claw-Clock on April 18 targeting PKK hideouts in the mountainous areas of Metina, Zap, Avashin, and Basyan in Duhok province.
Ankara has lost at least 39 of its soldiers since the start of the operation, according to numbers published by the Ottoman Turkish defense ministry.
However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... the People's Defense Forces (HPG), the armed wing of the PKK, claimed on Friday that 1,582 Ottoman Turkish soldiers were "punished," and 217 others were maimed from April 14 to July 14.
Both sides often release exaggerated corpse counts of the other. The Ottoman Turkish defense ministry claims "neutralizing" PKK fighters daily on its Twitter account, a term it uses to imply surrenders, killings, or capturing.
The PKK often announces its casualties late. On Sunday it confirmed the death of two of its fighters killed in Zap during festivities with Turkey on June 14.
Operation Claw-Lock is the fourth stage of Ankara’s Claw operations against the PKK in the Kurdistan Region, with the first stage starting in 2019.
Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... has said that the anti-PKK operations will continue, claiming that soon there will be no place called Qandil, referring to the rugged mountain range which stretches across the Iran-Iraq border in the north of Sulaimani province has been the headquarters of the PKK since the early 1980s when the group established bases there.

[IsraelTimes] Army says no soldiers hurt during attempt to arrest wanted man in Tubas; Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... claims responsibility for gunfire; operation comes after brief pause during Biden’s visit
Israeli troops clashed with Paleostinian button men during an early morning raid in the northern West Bank city of Tubas, after an apparent brief pause in military operations amid US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.... ’s visit to the region.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, as soldiers were attempting to arrest a wanted Paleostinian, several suspects opened fire and others hurled stones and Molotov cocktails.
"IDF soldiers shot up the button men who fired at them, and at key rioters," the military said, adding that "hits were identified."
Paleostinian media, citing medical sources, said two people were hurt by the Israeli gunfire. Their conditions were not immediately clear.
The IDF said no soldiers were hurt in the incident. It was not clear if the target of the raid was arrested.
A local wing of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group grabbed credit for the gunfire. A statement claimed members of the group managed to damage Israeli military vehicles as they entered the city.
A video circulating on social media showed an army jeep being hit by a Molotov cocktail.
Sunday’s raid came following a brief pause in arrest operations in the West Bank, amid Biden’s two-day trip that included meetings with Israeli leaders and a visit to East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The US president departed from the country on Friday.
It was thought the IDF wished to avoid any major confrontation during the visit.
The shooting in Tubas also followed an uptick in attacks in the northern West Bank in recent weeks.
[AlArabiya] Israel's military said on Monday it had intercepted a small drone that crossed into the country from Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , adding that it had likely been sent by the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah.
The drone had been tracked by Israel throughout its flight, the military said.
"The Israel Defense Forces will continue to operate in order to prevent any attempt to violate Israeli illusory sovereignty," it said.
Hezbollah has occasionally sent drones into Israeli airspace before, calling them reconnaissance missions.

[NPASyria] Syrian Democratic forces (SDF) announced on Monday thwarting terrorist operations that were planned to target military forces and employees working for the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria.
The SDF said on its official website that counter-terrorism unites monitored the movements and contacts of a holy warrior of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Organization (ISIS) north of Deir ez-Zor, who was planning to target SDF fighters and AANES employees.
The AANES was first formed in 2014 in the Kurdish-majority regions of Afrin, Kobani and Jazira in northern Syria following the withdrawal of the government forces. Later, it was expanded to Manbij, Tabqa, Raqqa, Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor after the SDF defeated ISIS militarily.
The operation followed surveillance processes, as the SDF fighters raided the terrorist’s house, arrested him and confiscated his possessions including weapons and communication equipment, according to the SDF website.
The SDF counter-terrorism unites transmitted the ISIS agent to investigation based on video and audio evidences, to be fairly punished.
Recently, the countryside of Deir ez-Zor has witnessed an increase in cases of liquidation, targeting members of the SDF, employees of the AANES, tribal leaders and civilians, despite the intensive security operations launched by the SDF.
On July 14, the SDF announced the arrest of an ISIS holy warrior and the killing of another during a security operation with the support of the US-led Global Coalition east of Deir ez-Zor.

The SDF liberated Manbij from ISIS rule in 2016, and the city is now under the control of the SDF-aligned Manbij Military Council (MMC).
[NPASyria] On Monday morning, a Turkish drone attacked the town of Tel Rifaat in the northern countryside of Aleppo Governorate, without reports on casualties.
The Turkish drone targeted the railway near a post of the Military Security Branch of the Syrian government forces, a military source told North Press.
The town of Tel Rifaat, which is 35 km to the north of the city of Aleppo, has been a shelter for Afrin displaced people since 2018 following the Turkish invasion of Afrin and its countryside which resulted in the displacement of about 300,000 of the original inhabitants.

“I always say that we can start [the incursion] at any moment at night. We should not worry and rush, especially since we are working in the area,” Erdogan told reporters after returning from the NATO summit in Madrid.
Earlier in July, a Turkish drone attacked a military post of the government forces in Tel Rifaat, causing the injury of two soldiers, as well as material damage.
Following the attack, a Russian patrol and officers of the government forces inspected the area targeted by the Turkish drone.
Eyewitnesses told North Press that the Russian patrol that inspected the targeted area consisted of armored vehicles and some soldiers.

[NPASyria] On Monday, Russian Military Police (MP) and Ottoman Turkish forces conducted a joint military patrol in the eastern countryside of Kobani, a city north Syria.
This is the 106th patrol between the two forces in the region since the signing of the Russian-Ottoman Turkish ceasefire agreement.
In October 2019, following a Ottoman Turkish military operation in areas of northeast Syria which resulted in the occupation of Tel Abyad, north of Raqqa, and Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) north of Hasakah, the Ottoman Turkish president signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US.
The ceasefire agreements stipulating halt of all hostilities there and the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) 30 kilometers in depth away from the Ottoman Turkish border in addition to conducting joint patrols with Russia in order to monitor the implementation of the agreements.
The 106th joint patrol comes a day before the trilateral summit that will bring presidents of Russia, Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... together in Tehran.
During the summit, the three parties will touch on the Syrian issue.
The patrol, which consisted of eight Russian and Ottoman Turkish military vehicles, set off from the village of Ashma, 20 kilometers west of Kobani.
It roamed the villages of Charqli Fouqani, Jebnah, Bayadah reaching the village of Zor Maghar, which is situated on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, the last village west of Kobani.
The patrol headed to the east passing by the following villages: Bayadah, Jebnah, Mishko, Binder, Qaraqoy Tahtani, Qola, and Susan, reaching to a checkpoint of Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) near radio area west of Kobani.
The patrol then immediately returned to the starting point in the village of Ashma, passing through the villages of Seftek, Boban, Khorkhoy, Dikmadash, Qeran, Charqli Fouqani.
The Ottoman Turkish military vehicles returned to Turkey through the gate near Ashma, while the Russian military vehicles returned to their position near the town of Sirrin south of Kobani.
On July 4, the 105th Russian-Ottoman Turkish patrol in the region was conducted in the eastern countryside of Kobani.

[NPASyria] One day before a trilateral summit that will bring presidents of Russia, Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... together, the Syrian Army continues to reinforce its positions in Syrian north in tandem with sending intensive reinforcements by Ottoman Turkish forces and their affiliated armed Syrian opposition factions.
The trilateral summit, in the Iranian capital Tehran, will touch on the Syrian issue and the Ottoman Turkish potential military operation against Syria’s north in particular.
Turkey’s President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms.

Erdogan specified his targets in the two northern Syrian cities of Manbij and Tel Rifaat.
On July 1, Erdogan said that Ankara’s new military operation in northern Syria could begin at any moment.
"I always say that we can start [the incursion] at any moment at night. We should not worry and rush, especially since we are working in the area," Erdogan told news hounds after returning from the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... summit in Madrid.
On Saturday, the Syrian army sent military reinforcements to Manbij through al-Tayha crossing, southwest of the city.
An eyewitness from Abu Kahf village, 30 km north of Manbij, told North Press that eight vehicles loaded with two field artillery, rocket launchers, ammunition and personnel entered from al-Tayha crossing and headed towards the front lines in Manbij.
The reinforcements come within the framework of recent understandings between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian government, with Russian guarantee, to deploy government forces along the front lines extending from al-Hoshariya village, northeast of Manbij, to al-Arima district, west of Manbij.
Hours later, the government forces brought in reinforcements to the border strip with Turkey in the countryside of Derbasiyah north of Hasakah, according to pro-government al-Watan Newspaper.
Media outlets close to the government see that these reinforcements can help halt the Ottoman Turkish escalation and threats since they are deployed along the border strip.
On July 15, the SDF Commander in Chief, Mazloum Abdi, said in a presser, that they "accepted that the Syrian Army fortifies its posts in Kobani, Manbij and border areas in order to carry out its task to protect Syrian border, and we will do what is needed to avoid war against our areas."
Following the Ottoman Turkish incursion (Peace Spring) in October 2019, Turkey signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US stipulating ceasing all hostilities and the withdrawal of the SDF 32 km away from the Ottoman Turkish border.
The SDF did withdrew from the border areas according to the agreement, but Turkey continues targeting the area.
The Syrian government has deployed soldiers in some areas in northeast Syria since 2019 following the agreements.
Turkey also sends more forces to the Syrian territory, especially to both the northern and eastern countryside of Aleppo, in preparation for the new invasion.
On July 8, North Press Agency monitored the entry of a Ottoman Turkish military convoy through al-Rai crossing in the northern countryside of Aleppo, heading towards the city of al-Bab east of Aleppo.
Two days earlier, Turkey sent reinforcements to Ottoman Turkish-backed Sultan Murad faction stationed in Hawar Kilis region on Syrian-Ottoman Turkish border north of Azaz.
Al-Watan Newspaper noted that both Russia and the Syrian government, through deploying forces in broader swaths on contact lines with Turkey, aim at defusing the Ottoman Turkish military escalation and also curbing the Ottoman Turkish president’s false pretenses to launch an aggression to bite new Syrian parts.
These moves come in light of preparations by Russian and Ottoman Turkish delegations to head to Iran, where a presidential summit will be held, bringing together the three countries to discuss the Syrian issue.
During the summit, the Russian president and his Ottoman Turkish counterpart will held a series of meetings.
Statements released by Iranian, Russian and Ottoman Turkish officials indicate that the three presidents will mainly focus on the Syrian issue, a step that was successively discussed in the past the last of which was in July 2020.
"Ottoman Turkish military operation in Syria will be the most important issue between Turkey and Iran in the summit." Ottoman Turkish daily newspaper Sabah said two days ago.
As Syrian north and northeast continue to witness intensive military presence by Syrian government and Turkey, Syrians place their hopes in Tehran’s summit, through which Turkey seeks to invade Tel Rifaat and Manbij.

Putin tells US thieves to stop ‘looting’ Syria
Washington needs to stop “stealing” Syrian oil and lift its sanctions against Damascus
American troops must leave voluntarily the territory east of the Euphrates river and “stop robbing the Syrian state, the Syrian people, exporting oil illegally,” I repeat they must leave.
Putin told reporters on Tuesday evening, when asked if the USA military don’t voluntarily leave, his reply was: we will make them… He said this was a “common position” of Russia, Iran and Turkey.

US troops, about 500 to 1000 are there to hunt ISIS and may also provide some protection to the Kurds.
Syria probaby doesn't have the forces to deal with the ISIS contingent in their country. Letting Iran and Turkish troops deal with ISIS doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

Syria doesn’t have enough oil to be worth robbing, unlike Iraq, where we also did not help ourselves to the oil.
Perhaps President Putin means Turkey, which has been allowing its “Syrian National Army” run roughshod over Syrian citizens.

Letting Iran and Turkish troops deal with ISIS doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
Iran would no doubt take the hint reasonably seriously if t hey saw no way of exploiting them for their own purposes, but Turkey has used and supported ISIS in Syria in the past against the Assad government. For that matter, some unknown part of the so-called Syrian National Army that Turkey employs along the border is made up of old ISIS turbans left homeless after the Caliphate fell, and Turkey knows it.
There can be only one? Clearing their own gene pool.
[NPASyria] Four former Lions of Islam of Syrian opposition armed factions were rubbed out on Monday by a former leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... (HTS), in the western countryside of Daraa, southern Syria.
A Local source told North Press that "Ahmad al-Hayek, Khedr al-Hayek, Muhammad Hussein al-Rawashdah, and a fourth named Abu Muthanna were shot and killed by a former leader of the HTS, after he invited them to his house on the road between the towns of Tafas and al-Yadudah, west of Daraa."
"The leader who killed them is called Abu Obeida. He hails from the city of al-Sheikh Maskin in the countryside of Daraa, but he has lived for years near the town of al-Yadudah," the source added.
"The four young men hailed from the town of Tafas in the western countryside of Daraa and were former members of the opposition factions," the source said.
Since the government forces re-captured Daraa in 2018, the governorate has been living in a state of security chaos, as it witnesses murders and thefts on a daily basis, despite the government’s intensive presence in its towns and villages.
[NPASyria] The de-escalation zone in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib, northwest Syria, continued to witness on Monday mutual shelling between the Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian opposition factions, known as the National Army (SNA), and the Syrian government forces on various axes.
According to what opposition sources told North Press, the government forces, using dozens of artillery shells and rockets, targeted opposition positions in the villages and towns of Fatterah, Kafr Oweid, Sfuhen, Kansafra, Benin, Ruweiha and Ma’rblit in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib.
The shelling also targeted positions in the villages and towns of Tuqad, Sheikh Suleiman, Kafr Taal, Kafr Amma and the outskirts of Kafr Nouran in Aleppo western countryside.
Meanwhile, ...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck reached for the green sauce... military sources of the National Front for Liberation told North Press that "al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room targeted with heavy artillery shells and rockets the positions of the government forces in the villages of Hayer Derkil and Urum al-Sughra, west of Aleppo."
The areas in the de-escalation zone in northwestern Syria continue to witness daily exchange of bombardment between the SNA factions and the government forces, despite being part of the ceasefire agreement signed between Russia and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... in March 2020, which stipulates a halt of military action in Idlib.
The mutual shelling, that is escalated during the past few days, came after the announcement of the SNA to start a new military operation against the Syrian government forces in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib after it has been stopped for two years.
Although the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria is subjected to a Russian-Turkish ceasefire agreement signed in March 2020, the area witnesses frequent mutual shelling despite the entry of the ceasefire into force.
In March 2020, Russia and Turkey reached an agreement in Moscow that stipulated a ceasefire, the establishment of a safe corridor, and the conduct of joint patrols on the M4/Aleppo-Latakia Highway.
Military sources in Syrian opposition said that the government forces targeted the villages of Tuqad, Sheikh Suleiman, Maklabis, al-Habata, Blanta, Tedil, Kafr Ta’al, Kafr Nouran, and the vicinity of Regiment 46, west of Aleppo, with about 100 missiles and artillery shells.
The shelling of the aforementioned areas coincided with continuous shelling that have started since Sunday’s morning on the villages and towns of Fatterah, Kafr Oweid, Sfuhen, Kansafra, al-Ruwaiha, Benin, and the outskirts of al-Bara in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib, in addition to the town of Ma’arat al-Naasan, east of Idlib, according to the sources.
Military sources of National Front for Liberation, operates under the umbrella of the SNA, said that al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room targeted posts of the government forces in the Regiment 46 and the towns of Urum al-Kubra, Miznaz, and the villages of Urum al-Sughra, Bala, and Basratun, west of Aleppo, with dozens of artillery shells.
The SNA, during less than 24 hours, thwarted a progress operation of the government forces in Maklabis area, west of Aleppo, according to the sources.
Although the Syrian government forces did not report any casualties during the unsuccessful progress operation, the sources of the National Front for Liberation claimed that several members of the Syrian government forces were killed and wounded.
[NPASyria] Fierce festivities erupted on Monday between two groups of Ottoman Turkish-backed Sultan Murad faction in the village of Hawar Kilis, adjacent to the Ottoman Turkish border, near the city of Azaz, north of Aleppo.
The Sultan Murad faction is one of the Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian armed opposition factions, also known as the Syrian National Army (SNA).
A local source told North Press that brutal festivities, using light weapons, took place between two groups affiliated with Sultan Murad following a quarrel.
"The cause of the festivities is yet to be known," the source said.
"The hostilities caused a state of fear and panic among the residents of the area as a result of indiscriminate shooting," he added.
The town of Hawar Kilis is considered a military zone because it contains headquarters of a number of Ottoman Turkish-backed factions, most notably Sultan Murad, the Hamza Division and Sultan Suleiman Shah, also known as al-Amshat.
The salaries of most of the SNA gunnies come through a military crossing located north of Hawar Kilis on the border with the Ottoman Turkish state of Kilis. The crossing is also used by the leaders of the SNA factions to move between The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... and Syria, according to the source.
The SNA-held areas witness a state of insecurity, accompanied by explosions and continuous infighting, amid inability of the factions to hold it under control.
[AlArabiya] Australian teenager Yusuf Zahab is feared dead in a Syrian jail, after he was imprisoned without charges in 2019, the BBC reported on Monday.
The 17-year-old Australian was taken to Syria by his relatives in 2015 and his Sydney-based family has since been "heartbroken and angry," because he had been begging for help for years.
Although it is still unclear how Zahab is suspected to have died, rights groups said in January that he was injured in an ISIS attack on a prison in Syria’s Kurdish-controlled northeast in an attempt to free its imprisoned fighters.
With the support of the US, Kurdish fighters fought the ISIS hard boyz for a week, killing over 180 people in the process.
In voice recordings which Zahab sent to his family at the time, he reportedly said that he "might die at any time," as the fighting continued to intensify. Scared, he told them he had "lost a lot of blood" and that there were no doctors to help him.
According to United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... ’ children’s charity agency UNICEF, Zahab was one of almost 850 children who were detained in 2019 — after the fall of ISIS — in case they posed a security risk.
The teen’s family described him as a happy and compassionate child.
An Australian teenager, who was detained in northeast Syria for contacts with Islamic State Organization (ISIS), died on Monday.
The 17-year-old Yusuf Zahab had caught tuberculosis in the prison, where Syrian and foreign ISIS suspects were held in.
Zahab, who was born in southwest Sydney, Australia, was 11 when he travelled to Syria to live in the newly declared so-called ISIS caliphate in northeast Syria with his parents and siblings.
In 2019, Zahab was arrested by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and he was detained in al-Sina’a prison in Guweiran neighborhood in the city of Hasakah alongside suspected members of the ISIS for three years.
In January 2022, during fighting between the SDF, supported by the US-led Global Coalition, and ISIS, Zahab was wounded in the head and arm. He sent audio recording, begging for help during an ISIS siege of al-Sina’a prison to Human Rights Watch (HRW). Clashes started on January 20 after militants of ISIS assaulted a prison that holds thousands of ISIS inmates. The assault coincided with three explosions in an attempt to break out the ISIS detainees out of the prison.
Between 69 and 80 Australian nationals, including 19 women and 39 children, are held in northeast Syria as ISIS suspects and their family members, according to Kamalle Dabboussy, the representative for the Zahab’s and other detainees’ families.
“The big obstacle that hinders the advance of the SDF is that ISIS used terrorist children who are ‘Cubs of the Caliphate’ and amounts 700 minors in the prison, as human shields,” the SDF said in a statement. It's VERY Islamic
The previous Australian government repatriated only eight citizens, all unaccompanied children, Dabboussy stressed.
