Konflikten i Syrien

As rebels reported advances in Idlib over the weekend, they claimed the recapture from government forces of Qarmeed camp, a former brick factory south of Idlib city. Battalions operating in the region uploaded several videos described as showing the capture of the camp and its occupation by rebels.
The first videos here are via the Faylaq Al-Sham. Jabhat al-Nusra were also reportedly involved in the assault, which included at least one suicide attack; videos from them are below. Regime forces had been using the Qarmeed camp as a base to shell towns and villages in the region.

Imamen Haytham Rahmeh var tidigare en framträdande företrädare för moskén på Södermalm i Stockholm. Men i dag gör han något helt annat, enligt vad Sveriges Radios reportrar Kajsa Norell och Carolina Jemsby avslöjar i "Ekot" i dag.
Sedan ett och ett halvt år arbetar Rahmeh för organisationen "Kommissionen för skydd av civila", som förser rebellerna i Syrien med vapen, uppger källor för "Ekot".
Kamal al-Labwani är en framstående medlem av den syriska oppositionen och bekräftar enligt "Ekot" att organisationen köper och hämtar vapen i Libyen, som bland annat kommer från den störtade diktatorn Khadaffis vapenförråd.

The Republican Guard is nowhere near Idlib. They're in Damascus and Deir Ez Zor, and they might have smaller units elsewhere, but not Idlib.
On Apr 22, a massive operation that involves upwards of 40 different groups formed a common goal by way of "Battle for Victory" in Idlib and "Battle for al-Ghab Plains" in Hama. The two are connected by way of a massive 100km long front line. They began with small harassing assaults on Jisr al-Shughour, Qarmeed miliary base, and numerous small checkpoints along the al-Ghab valley (plain). Gradually, harassing attacks gained steam and opposition artillery and armor was pushed into the attack. Within a few days, Jisr al-Shughour fell, and small settlements in Hama did as well. Last night Qarmeed military base fall, and now assaults on Mastoumeh and Ariha are beginning. Five or six small towns in al-Ghab have fallen (and traded hands a few times) and smaller towns between Ariha and Jisr al-Shughour are either completely in opposition control or somewhat controlled.
The government has lost tremendous amounts of men and supplies (approaching 50 armored vehicles at this point) and a considerable amount captured. At this point they risk losing the entirety of Idlib governorate if they don't find a way to consolidate their positions. The collapse of order in many SAA positions that led to mass surrenders and huge amounts of gear to be captured is indicative that control over SAA troops in the region is next to gone, with each unit acting independently of each other and no coherent counter-offensive plan emerging yet.
The inclusion of several TOW heavy groups has cost the government 8 more tanks and a number of hardened positions, and Jabhat al-Nusra's heavy use of inghamasieen troops (shock troops and suicide bombers) has helped collapse several defensive positions that were considered tough nuts to crack.
The overwhelming brunt of this offensive appears to have caught the SAA off guard and their delayed response to it may have cost them Idlib provnice.
That is not ot say that this hasn't cost the opposition dearly, but we don't have much data about how many troops or vehicles they have lost, whereas the opposition films EVERY dead government soldier, EVERY destroyed vehicle, and EVERY captured piece of equipment, giving us a good idea of how bad it's gone for the government.

Quarmeed intogs av Faylaq al-Sham tillsammans med al-Nusra.

Not every movement is disclosed, and at war things are rarely as they appear, for you civilians out there, this is called the fog of war. Wait until the aftermath and you will see why every move was taken the way it was.
