    Critical point about this open violation of the CoH as Russia will argue the opposition broke the CoH.......

    The truce just ended after the regime forces launched an offensive in south #aleppo countered by all factions

    Right so those reports were right that it was regime that attacked first and not Nusra??


    Happening now: #Jaish_el_fateh advancing on Al Eiss along Khan Touman front in Southern #Aleppo.

    Was not this a group that observed ceasefire??

    Correct. Regime first. But not just #Nusra but ALL opposition factions are fighting back along a 40 km front.

    Appears the Syrian opposition ALL opposition groups including JaN fully anticipated an Assad complete violation of CoH and quietly marshalled their forces and with tactical patience just waited as Assad and the Russians together with all Iranian forces were largely "over extended".....and also just as tired of fighting after a five month long exhausting and high loss fighting period.

    AND someone is flowing in a full scale fashion weapons and munitions into Syria especially a large number of US weapons and supplies.....

    South Aleppo offensive is not fixed only on Tal Eis. This is a wide offensive attack. Zaytan, Barnah, Khan Tuman all under attack.

    A not so subtle warning to both Obama and especially Putin that his war is far from being over....Assad needs to think about that "3rd party country" rumor that is floating around....

    Take away the Russian AF and the opposition is fully capable with support to eliminating both Assad and IS......

    Russian Syrian Express is moving again......

    FLOT's BSF Ropucha Class Large Landing Craft Tsezar Kunikov 158 is on the Bosphorus northbound, returning from Syria

    Needless to say, it looks quite empty for shuttling a "withdrawal". I'd say they don't even bring souvenirs back.

    Kunikov is being accompanied by the now routine securitybox escort of 2 CG's and a Police boat.

    Major Assad beating yesterday......kind of takes the spotlight off the Assad/Russian Palmyra "victory"....

    Jabhat al-Nusra say they killed 50 regime/shia militants & destroyed 8 vehicles in a trap while trying to retreat from al-Eis south Aleppo
