    Default Significance of handovers?

    Outlaw 09,
    My geography of Syria is limited. Is Tal Rifaat the Kurdish enclave in Aleppo city (which was defended by the YPG) or in the province?
    I have a recollection that the enclave in Aleppo city remained Kurdish, but the YPG defenders left.
    Presumably both the regime and YPG have exchanged their communities before.

    It was an exchange...goes to what the Russians have been pushing as a solution a federated Syria...with a Kurdish zone...which clashes with Turkish ideas....

    The first T-72-based VBIED ever, and it failed to detonate its payload. Islamic State near al-Seen airbase, Syria

    If the Assad regime seizes #Tadef before #EuphratesShield, fighting between both groups is inevitable.

    Aleppo: #ISIS snipers have killed 5 pro-#Assad forces south of #Al_Bab today.

    Assad wants #Al_Bab for his propaganda. Someone said there would be a deal and the regime would stop in #Aran. Wrong.

    Aleppo: #EuphratesShield forces at the #Al_Bab Silos today.

    Aleppo: There are still 800-1000 #ISIS fighters in the Al_Bab area according to estimates. Also reports that reinforcements arrived.

    Aleppo: Pro-#Assad forces shelling #Tadef with Grad rockets now and preparing to storm the town south of #Al_Bab.

    It's not a traffic, it's a cars waiting to get the fuel in #Damascus, #Assad areas

    Syria PM Khamis has issued an order for Gov bodies to cut gas/diesel use by 50%, excluding hospitals & Ministry of Defense.

    Russian air strike on Turkish troops was certainly not an "accident" as the Russians attempt to cover it up......

    Acc. to Russian source RuAF strike on Turkish soldiers in Ghuz was at request of Tiger Forces after failed assault:

    Russians flying CAS for Assad forces.....against Turkey.....
