    English report from #KafrHalab, where 4 people were killed by #AssadPutin air strikes last night.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmr7ofhArlI#…

    Also the town of Kermel was hit by unprovoked air strikes, ignoring the #Syria ceasefire.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifJaohRX1C8#…

    In #Hama province, #AssadPutin air strikes hit two opposition-held towns.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5Rci1LoLGk#…

    Only civilians lived in the hit area.
    Again, many people lost their homes due to the #AssadPutin aggression

    AssadPutin air strikes on towns west of #Aleppo killed & wounded several civilians today.

    As part of its Shia jihad in defense of "secular" #Assad, #Iran may have imported up to 18,000 Afghans.
    http://bit.ly/2iKQ2zO#

    Iran may now have 18,000 Afghan Shia militiamen fighting in #Syria in defense of #Assad.
    Great work by @majidyar:

    Democratic rep. Tulsi Gabbard just back from Damascus, aides decline question over whether she met with Assad:
    http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/01/18/...rip-to-syria/#

    She still has not stated she accepts the fact that Assad is a genocidal dictator...and she was in the US military......

    @TulsiGabbard violated the US law by visiting Assad regime who committed countless war crimes. Potential 3 y Jail

    @Charles_Lister
    Advocates of #Russia in #Syria, here’s something to warp your mind:
    - Russian strikes aided Ahrar al-Sham & Zinki’s fight vs. #ISIS today.
    Now Gabbard's staff is even unwilling to admit AFTER they stated it themselves that Gabbard was in Syria....a direction legal violation with a 3 yr penalty BTW....

    Gabbard's been advocating against anti-Assad sanctions, too.

    During the Saddam years, most anti-sanctions agitators were paid by the regime

    Check this released CIA document, from Syria 1982 before the Hama massacre -- remarkable!

    Check the MB numbers and the fighting in Aleppo 1980 and Hama 1982......

    Hezbollah shelling #Madaya in rural #Damascus today
    https://youtu.be/LCwSosoHVWI

    Severe #Assad air force attacks on #ISIS around #DeirEzzor airport.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf_byq15WUI#…

    Assad just called #Astana a step towards “reconciliation” deals.
    Until now in Assad/Putin speak, “reconciliation” in #Syria has meant siege & surrender.

    JFS has attacked several Ahrar al-Sham checkpoints and a local HQ in/around Khirbet al-Joz in #Idlib.
    Several prisoners taken by JFS.

    More JFS attacks on Ahrar al-Sham positions in #Idlib being reported - in/around Darkoush and Bdama.
    Casualties & more prisoners taken.

    Note: Ahrar’s statement announcing its rejection of #Astana yesterday focused on avoiding isolating “any” faction in #Syria, including JFS.

    JFS now controls Ahrar al-Sham’s HQs in Khirbet al-Joz and Al-Zayniya, plus several more positions near Jisr al-Shughour, Bdama & Darkoush.

    Well-known Ahrar al-Sham member, on JFS’s attacks on its positions in #Idlib today:

    “JFS betrays Ahrar al-Sham for the thousandth time!"

    Worth noting that some in #Idlib have blamed Ahrar al-Sham members of collusion in the recent escalation in U.S. drone strikes in #Idlib.
    So is the US via their drone strikes actively provoking this clash?????

    WHAT ceasefire are the Russians talking about here...?????

    MFA Russia

    @mfa_russia
    #Zakharova: We expect that the international talks on Syria in #Astana on January 23 will help to consolidate the ceasefire in #Syria

    MFA Russia

    @mfa_russia
    #Zakharova: The ceasefire in Syria imposed on December 30, 2016, has been generally observed across all of #Syria

    Definitely not being observed by either Russia...Assad...Hezbollah and Iran....the last time I check about 10 minutes ago.....

    #Erdogan just said that after the capture of #alBab,"we will fight PYD/YPG elements with the same determination".
    #Manbij would be bloody...


    If Donald #Trump really wants to "stick with the Kurds" in #Syria, both countries are heading for confrontation.

    Footage
    A #Russian air strike on a fuel station west of #Aleppo injured 3 civilians overnight.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NAe...ture=youtu.be#

    3 civilians were killed in an #AssadPutin overnight air strike on Rasm al-Eis, south west of #Aleppo.

    Wadi_Barada : Regime forces and Hezbollah are trying to storm the village of #Ain_al_Fijah from several directions.

    Every new ceasefire in a ceasefire in a ceasefire in a ceasefire ... just a lie by #Assad and his allies.

    Regime source: "35.000 were besieged in #Aleppo, 80.000 are in #DeirEzzor.Show me the intl. news&pressure.
    (False) numbers are interesting

    Here’s some of my thoughts on JFS’s attacks on Ahrar al-Sham today & what might be behind them…

    [It’s complicated]

    https://www.facebook.com/CharlesRLis...3842280693:0#…

    Just FYI - Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zinki formally lost its U.S. vetted status at least 16 months ago.
    Interesting - Three Zinki fighters have been killed in a U.S. drone strike, which targeted their local HQ in #Aleppo’s western countryside.

    50+ killed in airstrike (conflicting reports: US or Russian) that hit a joint JFS-Zinki training facility in #Aleppo's western countryside.

    Reports: The Free Idlib Army & Jaish al-Mujahideen have agreed to join #Syria talks in #Astana, after additional pressure from #Turkey.
