Tel Rifaat used to have a population of 45,000, predominantly Sunni Arabs. It was one of centrepieces of the uprising in this part of Syria. It was assaulted by PKK/PYD-Kurds from the Efrin enclave in February last year, when insurgents were busy fighting the IRGC-drive on Nubol/Zahra - and the entire population fled. Subsequently, Kurds looted the place to the last thing they could take away.Quote:

Overall, no exchange there: just Kurds doing the same they always do, turning as the wind blows.
Would be interesting to find out who exactly is in control of that refinery. Might explain why it was rocketed (especially in the light of this: Iran and Russia are Apparently fighting each other in Syria).Quote:

Fierce fighting going on since early morning at Housh-Nasri front in the eastern Ghouta.
Rebels try to storm Mansheya neighborhood
Assad-forces continues shelling on #Tadef suburb of #alBab, but not able to breach #IS defence lines till now
NOTE...if Assad keeps this up...we will be seeing a major clash between TFs and FSA.....and Assad Hezbollah forces....
Syria Heavy clashes in southern parts of #Daraa city
IMPORTANT.....concerns fake news spreaders....
The Europe subReddit locks and deletes comments on a @DFRLab link about Reddit being used to spread far right fakes

Interesting: #Turkey sent its most loyal "#FSA" ally, the Sultan Murad Brigade, to secure #alBab's southern flank.

It is well armed and can take on Assad and Iranian forces if need be....
Turkish military intervention in Syria will not end in Al-Bab, but will continue as long as #ISIS remains, says Turkish Pres.
BREAKING: Turkish president Erdogan says his country's operations in Syria will not stop at Al-Bab, but will also include ISIS-held Raqqah
NOTE:
Which is exactly why Iran pushed for an operation south of al-Bab. #Syria is a real life version of "go" (the board game)
For that matter, Iran doesn't want a land corridor from Iran to Med/Lebanon, etc, cut by Turkey
Assad forces continues to blow up resident buildings in Wadi Barada towns & arrest families
#Israel methods of collective punishment :mad:
AND Team Trump want to support Assad against IS...?

Here is your weekly update on Kremlin disinformation efforts
http://www.stopfake.org/en/kremlin-w...ruary-9-2017/#
After main #ISIS defensive system breached, #EuphratesShield will now have to cope with many secondary defenses erected on N. Al-Bab's front
The blatant issue of confirmation bias within some circles of #Syria terrorism analysts is becoming ridiculous.
This design = now the norm:
Syria’s opposition also agreed to sent the same delegation of armed groups to the upcoming talks in #Astana, led by Mohammed Alloush:
Due to internal tensions, geopolitical dynamics & personal reasons, Riyad Hijab will not be present in #Geneva talks, at least for now.
IF you see US SOF embedded then that rebel group gets US support.....if not then no support in fighting against IS.....
1,000s of US airstrikes vs. #ISIS have gone unreported.
Why?
Army strikes & close air support not counted by OIR:
