The misconception that Israel only entered Syria after Assad fell is false. Israel had already built roads inside Quneitra, carried out incursions, constructed trenches and conducted a ground raid in Syria before December 2024.

Video shows ISIS being given a clear path by the Assad regime to attack revolutionary forces. Later, ISIS and Assad, backed by Russian airstrikes, attacked together to crush the revolution. They worked together several times to destroy the revolutionaries.
Today marks the anniversary of #ISIS "teleportation" - the day mappers lost the plot. On 9th October 2017, an IS column suddenly crossed the heavily Regime-held, fortified As-Saan corridor (NE. #Hama countryside) with 20+ vehicles, incl. 2-3 tanks, facing no opposition from Regime or Russian Air Force. They crossed precisely at Wadi Azeeb. IS immediately launched attacks & seized several villages from Rebels, creating a pocket between Rebel & Regime-held areas. In reality, it was a Regime/Russian operation to transfer the last irreducible IS fighters from the Uqayribat pocket into Rebel-held territory, as a Trojan horse in the prelude to Abu Duhur Offensive. Uqayribat pocket, which contained 100s of battle-hardened IS fighters& their relatives, had been besieged by pro-Assad forces for months. Even after capturing Uqayribat itself in early September, Regime was still struggling to reduce the pocket due to fierce IS resistance. That cynical strategy - which came just after #HTS captured Abu Dali from Regime - was simple: let 2 enemies fight & exhaust each other, killing 2 birds with one stone: weakening Rebels & finishing off Uqayribat pocket. IS surprise assault triggered an HTS-led counter-offensive that retook in 2 weeks most of the villages initially seized by IS. Then came the second act. On 24th October 2017, just as the IS pocket was on the verge of being fully reduced, Regime launched its own assault against Rebels, backed by Russian airstrikes - Russian Air Force had already bombed HTS during its fight against IS. Pro-Regime forces would take Abu Duhur Airbase on 20th January 2018 after a 88-day offensive while last IS fighters who managed to sneak into Idlib countryside mass-surrendered to Rebels (in Khuwayn) on February 13 - 4 months after their transfer. Below is a map from a local pro-Assad channel that didn't exactly pull any punches - the initial IS move is pretty clear 👇

Left: the Assad forces crimes against Syrian civilians. Right: Israeli forces crimes against Palestinian civilians. Syrians and Palestinians share the same suffering. No one understands Palestine’s pain better than a people who endured the same brutality. 🇸🇾 🇵🇸

Although Assad has fallen, his rodents continue spreading their filthy lies Ahmad Zaidan states he was “happy” when anyone strikes the Assad regime. A fair position, given that Assad was killing Syrians Zaidan never said he supported Israel in anything
🇸🇾 Ahmed Muwaffaq Zidan media affairs adviser to the Syrian presidency, previously declared: “I supported Israel when it bombed the Nusayri regime!” Today, as Israel continues its attacks on Syria, his words speak volumes. When those advising your rulers once cheered the bombing of your country, what did you expect? You will be ruled by those who reflect what you are..

Troops to Yemen? Syrian government: “Claims that Syria is sending troops to Yemen are false. Syria’s priorities are internal security, reconstruction, and economic recovery. Current military agreements with Saudi Arabia focus on training, expertise, and military consultations.”

When you see Reuters reporting on Syria, don’t waste your time reading or sharing it. From the U.S. base in Damascus to sending troops to Lebanon and Yemen, Reuters has spread more false news about Syria than truth since liberation.
🇸🇾🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is getting military help from Syria to fight the Houthis. Dozens of Syrian military personnel have travelled to Saudi Arabia in recent weeks to help train Saudi and Yemeni soldiers. Syrian fighters have spent years fighting wars, and now Saudi Arabia wants to make use of that experience. The two countries also signed a defense deal 2 days ago, and they've already started training together. But Syria isn't ready to talk about sending troops into battle, and the U.S. is worried it could get dragged into the wider war. For now, it's just training and advice. Actually joining the fighting would be a much bigger step. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniyal

The Syrian army’s Aleppo recruitment office continues to accept applications from Syrians wishing to join. Under Assad, forced conscription drove many men to flee or pay heavily. Some families sold their homes to keep their sons out of the army.

📌A massive Jordanian security and media failure is unravelling after details about the Karak church attack incident came to light. Do you remember the fake excuse #Jordan used to attack #Syrian territory and kill kids and women in their house while they were sleeping? After Jordan officially backed down from the details of the #Karak_church_attack incident in #Jordan, and hid the names and info of the terrorists because they're Jordanian, and after all the pressure and media mess Jordan went through because it's trying to throw the blame on #Syria any way possible, and under the pressure of Syrian media that exposed the lies and Jordanian contradictions, Jordan went back again to the real story with real details this time: 📌 The attackers are Jordanians and have nothing to do with Syria 📌 They're from a village called Jadida in Karak. They're super extremist terrorists, and everyone knows that, even their relatives have been complaining about them for years. 📌 The village imam, who's a relative of theirs, says they're from the Jordanian Dhenibat clan, and that the three terrorists wouldn't pray behind the villagers because they considered them "infidels" and "apostates." 📌 The imam says he was afraid the day would come when they'd walk into the mosque and kill everyone inside it. 📌 The imam also says, according to his filmed statement to Al Arabiya, that the terrorists wouldn't eat the food or sacrifices of their relatives and the people of the village, and that they didn't differentiate between a church and a mosque, in their eyes, everyone is an infidel. 📌 He said: "The three terrorists used to call Muslims infidels before Christians, and they refused to send their kids to school because of their extremism." ⚠️The important questions here is: - Where was Jordanian intelligence? - Where were the Jordanian security forces? - why did they let things escalate until the Karak church attack happened? - most importantly of all, why did Jordan rush to directly blame Syria, bomb Syrian land, kill a whole family with children, women, and the elderly, and keep pushing the lies they claimed?
Replying to @abdalhadealani
The Jordanian attackers who attacked the church (full names are shown) as the Jordanian news agency @RoyaTV published They have nothing to do with Syria and today’s Jordanian attack that killed innocent civilians cannot be justified at all!

📌 The Jordanian Armed Forces and state media outlets unexpectedly retracted a statement issued Saturday that claimed border guards had foiled an infiltration attempt by an armed group of 14 people from Syria. 📌 ​The retraction comes amid reports from local sources and Syrian activists alleging that Jordanian forces had instead opened fire toward Syrian farmland where children were present, alongside a circulating photo showing the children after they were evacuated to safety by Syrian Border Guards. 📌 ​According to these accounts, the incident began late Friday when Syrian border guards notified Jordanian authorities that they were inspecting reported movement along the frontier. 📌 Upon reaching the area, Syrian personnel reportedly found Jordanian troops firing heavily into Syrian territory, prompting an urgent request to cease fire while the children were evacuated to safety without casualties.
The Jordanian army claimed that border guards foiled an infiltration attempt late Friday by roughly 14 armed men from Syrian territory, alleging that troops inflicted multiple casualties during heavy clashes before the survivors retreated into Syria. This comes days after Jordan faced backlash from Damascus over uncoordinated airstrikes in Daraa that killed several civilians and an agreement to handle border threats through a new joint security committee.
