Thousands of Hezbollah Forces Deployed in Al-Tanf to Foil US Plot in Syria

TEHRAN (FNA)- Thousands of Hezbollah troops were sent to al-Tanf passageway at Iraq-Syria bordering areas to prepare the Syrian army and its allies for thwarting the US plots in the region and establish security at the Palmyra-Baghdad road.

Hezbollah has deployed 3,000 forces in al-Tanf region to participate in Badiyeh operations in Syria. Most of the forces had earlier been stationed in al-Zabadani, Madhaya and Sarqaya regions as well as the Western parts of the town of al-Tofail and Brital, Ham and Ma'araboun heights in the Eastern mountain.

Other units, including the Syrian army allies, have also been sent to this front to block the way to the US-backed forces.

A well-informed military source said on Wednesday that the Syrian army forces will not allow the US and its western or regional allies to create a buffer zone in the Southern part of the country as a safe heaven for militants' activities.

The Russian-language Izvestia daily quoted a field source as saying that the Syrian pro-government sources are getting ready to take control over a chunk of Damascus road to Baghdad to restore sustainable security to the main supply line of importing arms and other military equipment from Iraq.

The hostile fighting jets entered to #Syria via #Jordan flying at a very low level. The fighting jets started with warning fire. #SAA soldiers were redeployed near the vehicles.

The airstrikes destroyed the Shilka and 2 battle tanks.

One of the vehicles responded and opened fire towards to the fighting jets using 23mm canon. This forced the fighting jets to fly higher which exposed them to the radars of Battalion 16 (S200 air defense system) in AIDmair. When this happened the fighting jets fled the area.

US Airstrike on Syrian Army Proves Washington's Fake Claims about War on Terrorism

TEHRAN (FNA)- A Syrian military expert said that the US-Led coalition warplanes' air raid on a convoy of Syrian Army forces in the Southern part of the country proved that the White House claims about the US seriousness in war on terrorism are nothing but sheer lies.
The source described the US-led coalition attack as “blatant”, saying it uncovers the fake claims of the coalition about fighting terrorism and reveals the undoubted reality of the Israel-US project in the region.

“The attempt to justify this act of aggression by saying that the targeted forces failed to respond to the warning to stop advancing is completely rejected,” the source stressed.

“The Syrian army,” the source said, “is fighting terrorism on its territory, and no party whatsoever has the right to determine the course and destination of the army’s operations against the terrorist organizations, mainly ISIL and al-Qaeda.”

The source added that “those who claim to be fighting (terrorist organizations) should strike them and not the Syrian army, which is the only legitimate force that is fighting terrorism along with its allies and friends.”

The source asserted that the army will continue performing its duty of fighting ISIL and Al-Nusra Front (also known as Fatah al-Sham Front or the Levant Liberation Board).
