[he] participated in many operations against ISIS, including in Tal Abyad, Raqqa, Manbij, Tabqa, and Deir ez-Zor, including leading the battle against #ISIS ... Moreover, Welat played a role in reconciliation efforts with Arab tribes after the SDF engaged in battles with a tribal force"

Israeli army bases in Golan Heights are targeted by IRGC and resistance forces in #Syria.
🔹According to our source, IRGC and resistance groups from the western suburbs of Daraa province, near the borders of the occupied territories, targeted illegal bases of the Zionist regime army in the occupied Golan heights with missile strikes.
🔹The intensity of this missile attack has been unprecedented in recent years.

Good morning from @opcw Conference of States Parties #CSP28
We began with a ceremony to mark the Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare.
Now we are discussing use of #ChemicalWeapons in #Syria, and particularly a proposed decision which would apply new controls and reporting requirements on transfer of certain chemicals and items to Syria, essentially putting Syria outside the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention for the purposes of these transfers.
The number of homeless #refugees from #Syria, #Afghanistan and #Iraq in particular has skyrocketed.

China's Downlow #Oil #Supplier Iran Not Invited to the Rendezvous
Meeting in #Beijing to address the war in Gaza appears to have NOT included Iran. China buys oil from Iran. China would likely know if we are preparing to attack Iran & perhaps doesn't want to get too close.
China can use future strikes as a wedge to show it is the peace-maker. This subtle sign comes on the heels of Iranian forces withdrawal from exposed positions along the #Euphrates in #Syria to positions near civilians in #DeirEzZor and in #Homs and adds to the factors that might indicate a more robust response to Iran's regional #aggression may be on the table.

Conflict in 1947 was first a #civilWar between #Arabs and #Jews in #Palestine.
It started because #Palestinians rejected #UN resolution splitting #British Palestine into 2 states. In contrast, #India & #Pakistan largely accepted partition of British India. 15 million were displaced.
The civil war in #Israel then expanded to a multi-state war in 1948, when #Egypt, #Jordan, #Syria, & #Iraq joined Palestinians #inTheirName only but did NOTHING for them after they lost

Ali managed to save his son, who was in the burning building.
They got him to Turkey in an ambulance. He was in a coma for three and a half months and had burns on over 70 percent of his body.
I met Ali on the border between Turkey and Syria at a charity that allows Syrians receive medical treatment in Turkey.
There’s a terrible unity between Ukrainians and Syrians, one that was not wanted. They are both victims of Russian intervention.
In eastern #Syria, Russia moved in when #putin #stooge trump removed US forces.
Simultaneously, #Iranian militias operate unchecked.

Experts: the move provided “Iran with solid control over the entire #arc of the #Levant from #Baghdad to #Beirut” and allowed Russia and Iran to emerge as the dominant players in #Syria.
The decision to withdraw was abrupt & led to a combat zone growing more unstable by the hour. Despite warnings from senior US officials & commanders that the fight against ISIS was not over and that without more help and training from #American troops, #ISIS extremists did regroup and return.

France issues arrest warrants against Syria's President Assad
French judges have issued arrest warrants for Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, his brother Maher al-Assad, and two other senior officials over the use of banned chemical weapons against civilians in Syria, a judicial source said on Wednesday.
#News #EuropeanNews #Europe #Syria #France #Assad #BasharAlAssad
Following a series of attacks against U.S. persons in #Iraq and #Syria, U.S. Central Command #USCENTCOM forces conducted an air strike against a facility in Syria used by #Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups. We will take all necessary measures to defend our people against those who are responsible for the attacks and will respond at a time and place of our choosing.
How Iran set up #Hezbollah — its most fearsome #proxy army.
At the end of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Quds force of the #Iranian armed forces built up Shia proxies in the region. Their goal was to eject U.S. troops, liberate Jerusalem and cause harm to Israel.
One of those proxies, Hezbollah, became the model for the militias growing in #Iraq, #Syria and Yemen, all with unwavering loyalty to the Islamic Republic.
Iran started to fund and train Hamas, accelerating the support once #Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007. Although Hamas, a #Sunni organization, was not ideologically aligned with the #Shiite leaders of #Iran, it tactically ignored the differences and focused on its shared goal of expelling U.S. troops and destroying Israel.
US bases in #Iraq and #Syria have been hit 38 times since a wave of attacks began on 17 Oct, according to the Pentagon.
Most of these were attacks by rockets and drones, believed to be carried out by groups linked to #Iran, says Pentagon spox. Iran backs #Hamas in #Gaza and #Hezbollah in #Lebanon
At least 45 US personnel have sustained injuries from the attacks, including 24 reporting traumatic brain injuries.

Here’s what we are reading today:
#Ukraine is now the most mined country in the world, overtaking #Syria and #Afghanistan.

Israeli shells with white phosphorus (incendiary munition illegal in civilian areas) hit a village in southern Lebanon, injuring Lebanese civilians. Israeli military did not immediately respond to inquiries. So let's not jump to conclusions characterizing this either as an accident or a war crime. Either way, we do not have enough information.

Israel IDF airstrikes hit a refugee camp in the south of #Gaza. At least 50 people were killed, including 19 relatives of an Al Jazeera staff member. Is this another round of retaliation against #AlJazeera?
Meanwhile, Russian warplanes hit a Refugee camp in Syria. Now, #WarCrimes have become the norm. Thanks to #Israel, the leader of all war crimes.
#Israel-#Hamas conflict is escalating and spilling into #Syria. They are not just Israeli strikes but also #Turkish.
And Türkiye isn't doing it just for giggles but in response to an attack on government facilities in Ankara. Terrorists backed by Syria & #Iran want to expand the conflict using Syrian territory.
