Rebels' fate?
Turkey maintains several military bases in the province. Recent Arabic press reports said Turkey has demanded that HTS - formerly known as al-Nusra Front - and other armed groups dissolve and leave Idlib.

Abu Mohammed al-Joulani, leader of Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham, has reportedly declared he will not heed Turkish demands and ordered his fighters to "follow God, not Turkey" and prepare for battle.

But a prominent Jordanian Salafist with knowledge of the armed groups fighting in Syria cast doubt on al-Joulani's latest call for his cadres to fight to the death.

HTS' leader was being dishonest because "he truly wanted to go along with Turkey but wanted a bigger price for his compliance with its demands", he told Al Jazeera, declining to be identified because he is banned from speaking to the media by Jordanian government.

"When he did not get what he wanted from Turkey, he made his statement calling for war," he said.

Based on his information and familiarity with HTS' religious leadership, the Jordanian said HTS will dissolve and disperse while declaring the move was in "the best interest of religion and the people of Idlib".


'End of the line'
Landis agreed that time was up for the armed group as Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham's options have become exhausted, especially with Turkey.

The Turkish government will not allow HTS members to resettle in Turkey for fear of being accused of harbouring "terrorists", thereby complicating ties with Western intelligence agencies.

"HTS has reached the end of the line," said Landis, also the author of the Syria Comment blog.

The only option the group's fighters might have is relocation to northern Syria near Aleppo, where other rebels still have control. But even that option is complicated and could ignite fighting among the opposition factions.

"Syrian state media said loud blasts coming from an airbase early on Sunday were from an explosion at an ammunitions dump caused by an electrical problem, but an official in the regional alliance backing Damascus said they were from Israeli strikes. "

"A Syrian official had earlier said that the base was targeted by a missile strike. It claimed that missiles had been intercepted by Syria’s air defense systems."

Channel 4:n juttu Assadin tuhoamiskoneistosta:
 
Viimeksi muokattu:
Luulen ettei Assadin tarvitse pahemmin suorittaa mielipidevaikuttamisoperaatioita valtaamillaan alueilla, asukkaat ovat saaneet kattavan rokotuksen islamismiin...
 
Eiköhän siellä ”Assad iske” kloorilla siviilien niskaan ja näin laukaise lännen vastatoimet. Tällä kertaa menee koko Syyrian ilmavoimien kalusto kerralla. Mielenkiintoiseksi menee. Irvinaama milf hunter Macron on mitä ilmeisemmin etunenässä operaatiossa mukana.

No sikäli jos Washington Postin (yhden pää?)toimittajan uuteen Trump-kohukirjaan voi luottaa, olisi Trump USA:n edellisen ohjusiskun yhteydessä ollut jo valmis nitistämään Assadin.
In April 2017, the US launched a cruise missile strike against a Syrian regime airbase — the first intentional US strike on Bashar al-Assad’s forces since the Syrian war began in 2011. The strike was in direct response to a chemical weapon attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun that killed at least 85 civilians.

But Woodward reports that Trump wanted the strikes to be a lot more punitive.

“Let’s fucking kill him! Let’s go in. Let’s kill the fucking lot of them,” Trump told Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, referring to Assad and his forces. After hanging up with Trump, according to Woodward, the secretary told one of his senior staffers: “We’re not going to do any of that. We’re going to be much more measured.”

Mattis’s more restrained response is what Trump ultimately authorized. But it’s completely possible that without Mattis’s intervention, the US would’ve launched a larger-scale strike to try to kill Assad. That would certainly have angered Assad’s main backer, Russia, and may have led to a broader Washington-Moscow confrontation.
