Syrian Militants Delivered Chlorine Barrels to Stage Provocation in Idlib – Russian Military …from Sputnik News, Moscow [ Editor’s Note: Here we go again with another White Helmets attempted clorine attack to stir things up against the Assad regime. One would think that with their track record they would stay away from the staged gas attacks. But then on the other hand, when you have built in support from the US, Turkey, and maybe NATO, what’s to lose.

By Isabel Ivanescu with Andrew Greco Key Takeaway: Turkey may have agreed to cede control of territory in southern Idlib to pro-Assad forces in a meeting with Russia on September 16. If the reports of a deal are true, a pro-Assad offensive is likely imminent. Turkish-backed opposition forces and al Qaeda linked elements may fight back against advancing Russian-backed regime forces even without Turkish support. Turkey is most likely to cede the territory south of the M4 highway, a zone in which Turkey had already agreed to allow Russian patrols in March but retained forces, including artillery units, that precluded a full regime […]

…from SouthFront.org The southern part of Greater Idlib remains the main point of instability in Syria. The military situation, which had temporarily stabilized after the end of the Turkish attack on the Syrian Army codenamed “Operation Spring Shield”, is once again deteriorating. And this time it seems that even the Turkish leadership, who have made extensive efforts to defend the so-called ‘moderate opposition’, incidentally consisting mostly of al-Qaeda terrorists, from the bloody Assad regime, is forced to admit this. On March 5, Turkey and Russia signed a de-escalation deal that put an end to the open military confrontation in Idlib between […]
