Konflikten i Syrien

Syrian islamist rebel groups start shelling Kurdish civilians in YPG-held areas in and around #Aleppo after YPG push.

Ever since Russia began its bombing campaign in Syria in September, it has claimed to be targetting the Islamic State (IS) organisation. However, using geolocation techniques, many analysts quickly realised that Russian jets overwhelmingly target rebel-held territory, and only rarely IS group positions. Shocked by the lack of reaction from the international community, a Syrian exile decided to return to his war-torn country to film the bombings.

Russia plans to launch imminent ‘Total Destruction’ operations against the ISIL terrorists in Syria, media sources revealed on Saturday.
The Egyptian al-Youm al-Sabe’ news website said in a report Russia has vowed continued fight against terrorists in Syria using its warships and has demanded the Iraqi government to suspend flights in the two provinces of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah to protect passenger flights given the intensified conflicts in Northern Iraq which is adjacent to Syria and the Turkish fighter jets’ violation of the region’s airspace under the pretext of bombing the PKK positions.
The news website quoted Russia’s TASS news agency as reporting that Moscow will soon launch massive operations codenamed ‘Total Destruction’ against the terrorists using 69 Sukhoi fighter jets, Tupolev 160 bombers, submarines and warships deployed in the Mediterranean Sea...........

At least 20 civilians, including women and children, were killed Friday when the Revolutionaries Army (Jaysh al-Thowwar) attacked a village in Aleppo province, a Syrian Civil Defense source told Anadolu Agency.

The source said the armed group, which is cooperating with the YPG Kurdish forces in Afrin and Kobani, attacked opposition-controlled Tanab village.

YPG is the armed wing of the Syrian Kurdish rebel group People's Democratic Union (PYD), which is affiliated with terrorist PKK group.

The liberation was after hours of the attack of the (YPG) on a number of villages in the northern countryside. Opposition fighters, as a result, liberated the villages of Malkeyya, Keshtaar and Tenb killing a number of the (YPG) and “Jaysh al-thuwar” which supports the (YPG) in the battles in northern Aleppo countryside, Activist Abu Ibrahim Al-Halabi told Orient Net.

Al-Halabi added that after liberating Tenb village, opposition fighters discovered a massacre “Jaysh al-thuwar” perpetrated in which 20 civilians were killed most of them were women and children.

Opposition fighters also reliberated Tal-Bajer and Makhala villages in the southern countryside of Aleppo after fierce battles which led to the withdrawal of the Shiite militias from the previously occupied locations.

#ISIS withdrew form areas in southern side on #Aleppo and gave it to #Russia and #Assad without fighting what does that mean ?
