E. #Qalamoun: #FSA seized over an airstrip from #ISIS, continuing advances in Al-Badiyah
This is a huge story. If true, it's likely the largest massacre of civilians by the U.S. military since Vietnam. And Iraq is blaming Trump.
After airstrikes killing as many as 200 civilians, Iraqi officer says rules of engagement relaxed under Trump.

The Pentagon says its rules of engagement haven't changed. They were 'adjusted' last month.

So "adjusted" does this mean "changed"??????

Schools in Idlib are closed due to increased aerial bombardment. Our school remains open because it is underground and maybe more safe.

A #Russian double incendiary bomb attack hit civilians near Jisr Al-Shughour (#Idlib province) yesterday evening.
Has not been previously reported before nor a photo of a double strike released...this was the first time...

The tank in question is a T-55 (note five wheels, and distance between the first two).Originally Posted by OUTLAW 09
BTW: many of these tanks are nowadays crewed by 3, sometimes by only 2, tankers - instead of four. The regime is that short on manpower...
That said, Jaysh al-Izza (the FSyA unit that scored that kill) was less lucky today. Despite putting up a spirited battle, supported by its Gvozdika, and additional TOW strikes... reportedly, one of its elements was mauled by carpet-bombardment by the VKS that should've killed 32 insurgents.
This was followed by an assault led by Hezbollah, which eventually forced Jaysh al-Izza out of Mazraf and the nearby Kfar Amim.
Now, I've got no confirmation about 'carpet-bombing' (yet), but SyAAF's L-39s and MiG-23s were certainly around. Plenty of BM-21 to be seen on that video too.
Earlier, Jaysh al-Izza claimed a UAV as shot down over Majdal.
During the afternoon, the SyAAF and the VKS also bombed Dera'a intensivelly: 14 bombs dropped by #SyAF choppers, 6 #RuAF airstrikes & 17 rockets/missiles (incl. the Tochka).
In the light of the FSyA + HTS offensive in northern Hama, but also other latest developments in Syria, here the links to my summaries about aerial activity of the VKS (Russian AirSpace Force) and the SyAAF over the last few days:
