Ahrar Al Sham has had MANPADS "for a while", at least more than 6 months ago. Not one, not 2, but "enough". But they have't used them.

Just how can the US DoS Kerry always be getting it so wrong???? Maybe he dreamt about it??
John Kerry says Iran is pulling troops out of Syria. Is it?
The Obama administration says that Iran is drawing down its elite fighting force from Syria. But Iran says it isn't.
Does this sound like an Iranian "drawdown"......??
Reports about a planned huge #Iranian assault on #Aleppo sounded like a cheap excuse for the #JN attack but was true https://twitter.com/artwendeley/stat...82063445143552 …
Seeing reports of huge #Iranian buildup in south #Aleppo it's clear they had planned an offensive to end ceasefire. https://twitter.com/dalatrm/status/717457175375962112 …
Non-stop bombardment on al-Eis village & hill in the last 24 hrs. Iranian special forces deployed to Syria to help recapture the lost areas.
BUT WAIT...Iran just announced they were "advisors" not actual combatants.....
BUT THEN:......
Activists: Rebels repelled huge Assad/Hezbollah/IRGC counter attack on al-Eis thru az-Zerbah plain & killed scores
It is like DoS Kerry does not see this development.....and it is literally hitting him in the face......
Assad's choice: a) negotiations that will end his regime b) continue with war on #Syria together with #Iran. So?
Makes it quite obvious #Iran and regime are the driving forces behind ending the ceasefire in southern #Aleppo. https://twitter.com/f1ea133337/statu...48068019458049 …

DoS Kerry appears to need to ask himself if this "sounds" like an Iranian "withdrawal"...smacks of the Putin alleged "withdrawal"......

What is interesting in all of this hype is per comments by CrowBat....they have been at least a year already in Syria....and apparently no one even Kerry and apparently the entire US IC did not notice them......

Apparently the US Kurdish proxy supported by Obama, CIA and CENTCOM is up to their "old tricks" again........
Mohammed Aboud, who is Hatuniye tribe leader in Syria and Iraq, said that PYD militants are looting Arabs houses
They have been often accused of this when they take over Arab Sunni towns and villages....part and parcel of the Kurdish ethnic cleansing of Arabs both in Iraq and now Syria......
When Assad and shia militias attack, they are fighting Jabhat al-Nusra.
When rebels repel and counter attack, FSA is violating the truce.
I am not sure Russ MoD consider continues Assad air & ground attacks on East Ghouta & rural Latakia as CoH violation
From proRussian commenter....
Yury Barmin
@yurybarmin
MoD official told me they are struggling to keep the ceasefire going, that JAN attacks & SU-22 incident may lead to resumption of fighting
Appears to many as if Russia completely and truly "overlooks any Assad CoH violations" end of story.....
AND the so called DoS Kerry run US Syrian Coordination Center has never released a single report on any violations whatsoever....how strange is that?
Really worth watching this ....great example of social media open source analysis at work and even greater evidence that the Russia info warfare is having a difficult time countering this type of reverse info warfare...one that uses the truth instead of propaganda and disinformation.......

Interesting development.....does in fact IS support now via some of their Assad attacks efforts of the Assad opposition in their attacks even at the same time fighting with FSA units?
Damascus: #ISIS killed 5 high ranking #Assad pilots at the #Dumayr Airbase, including 3 commanders.
There's the commandeering chief of Assads Dumayr airbase Sulayman Ali originally from Tartous, now dead.

Appears the US supported Kurdish proxy YPG is having some rather difficult times fighting with the US supported FSA........
Confirmed
Abu Rowan, the leader of #YPG has been killed by #FSA Rebels in sheikh-Maqsood
Remember it was the same YPG that stated two days ago they would fight anyone standing in front of them including the FSA.....
Under the "how weird is this" rubric........
Total Escalation in E.Qalamoun #Damascus province. 500 #SAA soldiers trapped as they call Opposition for help
CrowBat.....appears some elements of the SAA might in fact be warming up to working directly with the opposition against IS or do they believe that this is the "new line from Assad" or is it simply a question of self preservation at this moment in time??
Syria: should the situation in eastern #Qalamoon become desperate this could be the first time we witness regime/rebel cooperation...the question becomes will then SAA side openly against Assad??

Syria #Assad-forces & #Hezbollah failed tonight to storm al-Eis,
Zerbah & silos along southern #Aleppo highway
Aleppo Image from Syriatel tower on Tel al-Eis this morning -still under rebel control
Two things here:
a) Half the Assadist military is 'cooperating' with insurgents all the time (i.e. since 2011); and
b) without Iranian intervention, the war between insurgents and the regime would've been over in early 2014 (though insurgents would meanwhile be at odds with each other, and fighting the Daesh too, i.e. the same would be going on in Syria, like what's going on in Libya).
Except for the 155th and the 156th Missile Brigades, I do not know a single 'SAA' unit based in that part of Syria. Everything is 'NDF'.Syria: should the situation in eastern #Qalamoon become desperate this could be the first time we witness regime/rebel cooperation...the question becomes will then SAA side openly against Assad??
Problem is that there is actually no 'SAA' left any more. The last few useful units have all been reformed as various sorts of private militias. Even so, the regime is left with so few troops, it can't control areas it's supposed to control, i.e. hold. This Daesh offensive into Eastern Qalamoun made it more than clear.
Anyway: while some of local NDF units might side with FSyA and the IF in Dmeyr area, overall, I do not see there being much 'brotherhood' left. The IRGC is now going to rush a mass of its 'pilgrims' to stabilize the situation, and as soon as these are around, any kind of cooperation becomes impossible.
