Another mutiny in Deraa

[ColonelCassad] In the Syrian province of Deraa, another mutiny.

In 2018, local FSA militants surrendered in unison to Syrian president Bashar Hafez al-Assad, raised Syrian flags and transferred control of the border and cities to Assad, having themselves enrolled in the NDF or the 5th Assault Corps.

All mediated by Russia, which played a decisive role in the surrender of militants in southwestern Syria.

Since then, there have been several rebellion attempts in the area by former militants who have failed to fit into the new reality. Each time this was accompanied by attacks on the checkpoints of the Syrian army, armed clashes and the subsequent arrival of the Russian military, who reconciled and extinguished the conflict.

The reasons for these riots are both external and internal. On the one hand, foreign special services and structures of the "green" are trying in every possible way to incite discontent in southern Syria.

On the other hand, a weak economy, overwhelming corruption, showdowns at the local level, restrictions on smuggling on the border with Jordan, all this causes discontent among former militants, which is what the leaders of such riots actually use to attract the disaffected for another attempt to "ignite the fire of the green revolution."

And here's another series. Former militants from the NDF and one of the brigades of the 5th Assault Corps riot in part of the city of Deraa and a number of settlements in the provinces of Deraa and Suweida.

Yesterday, for example, they captured several checkpoints of the Syrian army and one tank.

To suppress the rebellion, the Syrian 4th Armor Division and various forces went to Deraa a few days ago to strengthen the ongoing CTO (the formal legend of the operation, the fight against ISIS militants), which already has experience in this area. Last night, the ultimatum presented by the military to the militants expired to surrender their weapons and disperse.

Of course, Russia is making an effort to make things end like last time. The Syrians are more likely to crush it all once and for all.

Artillery and mortar attacks have already begun on rebel positions in Deraa. On the outskirts of the city, there is a strong shooting battle. It cannot be ruled out that the "homeland of the Syrian revolution" will be ironed out one more time, to be sure.
