BREAKING: Syrian military's media arm says army is now in control of 98 percent of the city of #Aleppo as the assault continue - AP

REMEMBER several months ago when the Syrian Russian Ambassador publicly stated Assad would not be attacking Aleppo.....just another lie in a very long line of lies.....

Bi'r Marhitan village, SE of #Tiyas/#T4 and due south of the Jifar junction claimed taken by IS.
IS claiming to take the marked junction, last major checkpoint before Jabal Tiyas.
Separately local media reports #Tiyas/#T4 being shelled

Palmyra: #ISIS advancing at #Tiyas Airbase. Regime reinforcements have no significant impact.

ISIS seized the junction with Jihar Oil Field, 8/9 km NE. of Tiyas Airbase. E. #Homs.

ISIS now claims the control over the mountains North of #Tiyas Airbase (location unclear).

IS further advancing towards T4 air base, #SAA reinforcements could not stop. Last major SAA checkpoints captured.
Palmyra: #ISIS has captured the last major regime checkpoint east of #Tiyas Mountain and #Bir_Marhitan village southeast of #Tiyas Airbase.

Russia is busy blaming US for loss of #Palmyra, claiming coalition-backed rebels stopped fighting ISIS in Raqqa so IS cld head for Palmyra

WELL maybe if Russia/Assad had been attacking IS directly instead of the FSA IS might have been beaten.......

APPEARS that YES in fact Sarin gas was used by Assad and allowed by Putin who sworn to the US and UNSC that they had removed all Assad CWs.....

THEY DID IT AGAIN!
A large-scale #AssadPutin #ChemicalWeapons attack killed at least 35 civilians incl. 11 children & 8 women.
200 injured.

The attack happened yesterday and took place in Uqairbat and the surrounding villages, held by ISIS.
Said to be a revenge for #Palmyra.

FAR MORE than just a routine chlorine gas attack......

Looks like Russia deployed Buratinos to Aleppo. (They came into Donbas little over a year ago.):

Reports suggest last pockets of opposition-held #Aleppo are falling now.

Desperate pleas coming from civilians trapped under the onslaught.

Ahrar al-Sham has expelled 3 unit commanders for refusing orders from the group’s leadership - all now arrested & referred to Sharia court.

Key Ahrar al-Sham units coming out in support of its existing, elected leadership & refusing any structural changes.

As Ahrar al-Sham struggles to define itself & JFS faces its own internal divisions, worth keeping an eye on figures like @shamalsalam2

Charles Lister ‏@Charles_Lister
Ahrar's new leadership (headed by Abu Ammar) is close to #Ankara, which opposes fully the prospect of an Ahrar-JFS merger in #Syria.
pt: Ahrar's recent leadership election exposed major strategic differences, relating to relations with #Turkey a future merger with JFS.

pt: One source close to Ahrar al-Sham said this to me today:

'It's not a splinter, but it's the last step en route to Ahrar's breakup.'

pt: While Abu Jaber presents this move as further uniting previously peripheral fighting units, it is in reality a move to assert himself.

pt: This move comes as Jaish al-Ahrar's leader 'Abu Jaber' saw himself increasingly isolated from Ahrar al-Sham.

16 units of Ahrar al-Sham have united and formed a new "sub-faction" of Ahrar, called Jaish al-Ahrar (@AHRAR_ARMY).
