    Rebels take control of Al-Bel near Sawran in northern #Aleppo after clashes with #IslamicState
    http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=36...98935&z=14&m=b

    CORRECTED:
    Hama: Syrian Rebels DESTROYED a total of 7 tanks today belonging to Assad forces

    Not all vidoes have drifted in.....


    Same rebel ATGM operator while balancing on a barrel )) destroyed what appears another BMP

    Aleppo: a total of at least 5 Iranian revolutionary guards killed yesterday by Syria rebels with Fagot missile

    Sheikh Maskin: this is confirmed now. Rebels carried out major suicide operation against Assad forces. More details will emerge today about the attack

    Damn even pro Assad forces are going hysterical in Deraa. Apparently a big explosion targeted their forces like some kind of nuclear bomb

    Starvation war crimes are still being carried out by Assad and his Hezbollah mercenaries.......

    After a large outcry from the western MSM....now silence and the UN silence and Obama silence...seems they all just do not care......

    MSF: 16 more Syrians have starved to death in Madaya after regime troops block aid from entering the besieged city

    THIS is after the latest UNSC resolution stating aid must flow and the HNC has made it one of the sticking points in Geneva WHIC Kerry called a "pre condition" EVEN though the US supported the passed UNSC resolution.......

    In that sense:
    I've heard higher figures. Seems this is one for KIA from a specific region only.

    No surprise here: that op was run by dumb commanders and they found themselves fighting at least 4,000 heavily-armed insurgents there... Again: Sheikh Mishkin didn't fell because insurgents were 'defeated', but because they withdrew.

    At this rate of casualties (at least 500 KIA for any small town they capture - and that ever since debacle in Kfar Naboudah, back in mid-October), not only the regime, but also the IRGC and Hezbollah are going to run out of combatants in a matter of six months. Of course, thugs in Tehran can always reach back upon millions of Afghan Hazara refugees living in Iran, because they have them 'in hand' so to say: Iran Sending Thousands of Afghans to Fight in Syria... and ever more of these are meanwhile forcefully recruited:


    The situation can also be understood in different fashion too: the regime, Iranians, and Russians are so desperate to achieve any kind of success, they're ready to sacrifice thousands - just to be able to report advances.
    CrowBat...confirms some of your numbers......they have been taking a beating for the amount of territory they first hold then give up and on and on...appears to be right now an attrition war meaning who can hold out the longest will in the end have the final say.....at some point Putin have in fact have to use his own troops.......which will not sit well with the home front which in polling is not all that supportive......

    Hezbollah linked newspaper al-Safir confirmed 1000+ militants killed in Syria fighting for #Assad out of approx 6000.

    It is noteworthy that the rebels were able several times in recent months to carry out operations inside Damascus, against a subsidiary goals of the Assad regime, such as a car bombing Brigadier General Bassam Mehanna with explosive devices, where he was killed and seven of his bodyguards in May at the hands of Ahrar al-Sham movement, Al-Nusra Front also were able devastate a bus contained elements of the Hezbollah militia in Hamidiya in February

    Reference the moderating effects of the Iran Deal that created the success of the Obama Syrian strategy........

    American Pastor that was held hostage by Iran speaks out for first time "they hung Sunnis just for being Sunnis"

    With Iranian moderates like this no wonder Sunni jihadi's are flocking to IS and JaN

    Amazing with the lack of the West's interest in ending the deliberate killing of Syrians via Russian and Assad air strikes and the Assad/Putin use of starvation in it self a war crime that more Syrians have not flocked to IS/JaN
