    Yesterday the SDF managed to take nine villages along the Euphrates river and at least two villages south of Manbij #Syria

    The Kurdish-led coalition seems to be trying to stretch #ISIS's ressources, by launching multiple offensives at the same time #Syria

    For now progress has been slow, but this has generally proven to be the most effective tactic against #ISIS

    Only works as long as IS does not counterattack which will come also "in time"....

    Elijah J. Magnier

    My take

    @AlraiMediaGroup

    Hezbollah deputy chief Na'im Qassem reacts to @EjmAlrai report,says Hezbollah not expecting war w/ Israel for summer

    Also: Is Hezbollah deputy sec General Naim Qassem contradicting Nasrallah himself who expected "hot forthcoming months"?

    You can actually follow the inbound bomb.....

    At least 4 mosques were targeted by Russia & Assad airstrikes & barrel bombs in Hraytan, north rural #Aleppo today

    Russia/Assad airstrikes & barrel bomb attacks continue across #Aleppo today: Hraytan, Kafrhamra, Sakhour, Castello, Jandoul, Hayan, etc…

    Pictures from #Aleppo, #Homs and #RifDimshq provinces show dozens of air strikes hit civilians again today.

    Footage
    #Daraya this morning.
    #Assad missiles and air strikes every few minutes.

    The Russian main propaganda Embassy......trying hard to pushback on the narrative that they struck and destroyed a hospital with the resulting high loss of civilians especially children...and with the resulting video images circling the globe now....


    Russian Embassy, UK
    ✔ ‎@RussianEmbassy Photo purportedly of "Russian airstrike on Idlib" last night was in fact first used by @AlJazeera 6 months ago

    Next excuse will be the US bombed it.....

    For the first time, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Microsoft begin to take responsibility for what they publish
    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu...-idUSKCN0YM0VJ

    Are to remove within 24 hours all hate comments and entries....PROBLEM is that it will be "user driven" THUS watch the massive misuse by Russian and Assad trolls......which is already occurring daily now....

    Twitter allows ugly, hateful harassment accounts to remain operative, but has suspended @DarthputinKGB. Disgusting, @twitter

    Weird comment...as the CoH is long dead.....it just did not know it.....

    With Russian FM Lavrov saying RuAF will resume airstrikes vs groups who didn't distanced from JN/AQ, the official end of CoH is near.

    Here is the interesting point....the Geneva meetings and the CoH do not discuss the "deconflicting of belligerents"....so in legal terms Russia would be committing war crimes for attacking groups fully covered under the CoH....ACTUALLY the US supports the Russian position and has threatened the FSA with surrender or die basically....

    Other than the never ending airstrikes across #Aleppo today, Russian airstrikes have also targeted #Idlib again including a local veg market

    Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation



    Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov
    “Russian aviation has performed no combat tasks and certainly no strikes in the ‪#‎Idlib‬ province.
    UPDATE – Turkish Foreign Ministry condemns Russia air strikes on Syrian city of Idlib

    SO it had to have been simply an UFO.......

    Fully agree but then the family learns he was killed in direct combat not "indirect fire".....especially when he was allegedly outside Raqqa where in theory YPG broke off their attacks a couple of days ago....so why the long delay??

    Unless he was on a deep recon......

    4 Hazara Shia fighters killed in Syria fighting for Assad

    AbuAbdu al Homsi, a Tajamu Fastaqam cmdr, refused to leave KalJibrin & fought #ISIS until the end with his men. RIP

    ISIS fiercely defending KafrKalbin as its seizure allowed it to besiege #Marea (symbol of Rebels resistance) for first time since 2014.

    Second Coastal Division shelled Regime in N. #Latakia with Katyusha rockets.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_YkfiEGeao

    Ahrar Al-Sham destroyed a Gvozdika with a #Kornet #ATGM on Shalaf citadel, N. #Latakia.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5exFPQfg75c

    Ahrar Al-Sham shelling #Handarat with its own verison of Elehpant missile. N. #Aleppo

    Jaish Al-Tahrir shelled (direct hits) #Joureen with 122 mm cannon in #Ghab, NW #Hama.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1ArPH7nYy4

    Inlt coalition strategy seems clear (May27-30): 15 #ISIS targets destr. in #Marea (FSA) & 74 in #Manbij to back #SDF
