NEW -- reports of a possible #Israel airstrikes hitting #Iran-linked targets in the western edge of #Aleppo International Airport as well as a section of the runway.
Update #Syrien .
#Israel attackierte gestern Nacht die syrische Provinz #Latakia .
Brisant:
Es heißt, es sollte auch eine 2. isr.Agriffswelle geben, aber sie sei von Russland verhindert worden.
Es wäre das erste Mal, dass Moskau in isr. Luftschläge reingrätscht.

#Israel is ending 2021 with an attack against #Syria when its Jets launched missiles against the #Latakia port causing serious damage. Israel is violating the international law, repeatedly attacking a sovereign country. The attack against Latakia is the second this month.
#Israel rarely strikes close to #Latakia, let alone inside the terminal, as #Russia maintains a base of operations nearby. Tuesday’s attack, at 02:15 local time is larger than the strike earlier this month. Israeli jets came from the Mediterranean Sea.
The explosions at #Latakia port could be heard in Tartus coastal city, 80 kilometres away. Ambulances were rushed to the scene and no info on casualties yet. The Syrian air defences were activated. The Latakia port is vital to the Syrian economy, already under harsh sanctions.
Ich grüße euch aus #Latakia/#Syrien. Aus dem Land, das „komplett zerstört“ ist. In dem „kein Leben mehr“ stattfindet. Wo Assad sein ganzes Volk „unterdrück“. Weshalb Islamisten mit Hilfe unserer Steuergelder an die Macht gelangen sollten. Wohin nicht abgeschoben werden darf.✌🏼🇸🇾
Jetzt, beim Sonnenuntergang, sind noch viel mehr Menschen am Strand. Viele kommen dann von der Arbeit o. aber weil es tagsüber viel zu heiß ist.
P.S: Ich nehme mir heute Abend & morgen noch bisschen Zeit, um auf einige Kommentare zu antworten. Auch auf private Nachrichten. Komme aktuell wirklich nicht hinterher. Bin auch eigentlich im Urlaub. Also bitte Verständnis haben.

An A-50U AEW&C aircraft of #Russia Air Force flew from #Hmeimim over #MediterraneanSea & provided situational awareness for the Tu-22M3, MiG-31K, Su-34 and Su-35S pilots against F-35Bs of Fleet Air Arms/ #RoyalAirForce flown from HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier of #RoyalNavy

#Iran's oil smuggling into Syria is not a new issue. They have been in place for several years, even before the #Trump administration imposed sanctions on Iran and on Syria.
The question facing Western intelligence was how #Syria pays Iran for the oil it receives. 2/25

As of May2018, when the #Iranians were barred from transferring funds in the international financial system, they had trouble getting the proceeds or payments for the oil they smuggled to China, North Korea, Syria & other countries like Turkey where oil was smuggled inland. 3/25

#Idlib #Latakia: Xhemati Alban released a video showing the use of their 12.7x108mm AMR to hit a (claimed) regime KPV at 1800m, which would be possible with the cartridge.
They helpfully ID'd the barrel and the optic, Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 PM II. Seems 7N34 ammo is used.

And here's the full video of the hit, including prep.
Certainly an interesting and constantly evolving group. If anyone wants to use their mathmatics skills to work out distance from shot-hit timing, feel free.

Looking at this video (In which a tracer can clearly be seen), it seems that 7N34 isn't being used as the video looked like to me, and more likely to be API-T. Not as precise, of course.
The #Assad regime convert the #Syria|n people's assembly to "#Assad's puppets assembly". In this video the currently member Mohamed Kabnad said "Bashar Assad never sleep & at least we should kneel to him".
The election play tomorrow is one more message to the world the #Assad will never accept ANY political settlement. It is one more reason to see Assad as the part of the problem not of the solution.
In the constitution of 2012 the position of president has more power than the assembly, government, army & court together. Actually the assembly has the role to discuss unnecessary decrees for #Assad and some decoration proposes.

First high resolution image of the attack catches the moment, a Russian army vehicle is getting blown to the middle of the street by the power of the explosion.
#Syria: drugs were shipped from #Latakia port & came from an #Aleppo factory equipped with large-scale industrial machinery, excluding #ISIS. Expect to see more of this as #Damascus is suffocating economically.
#Syria: another large drug shipment (incl. 4+ million of Captagon pills) was seized in Romania (largest seizure in the country). Ship again departed from #Latakia like for previous giant seizure in Italy. balkaninsight.com/2020/09/02/rom…
Seizures of large quantities of drugs coming from #Syria are multiplying. Captagon & Hashish seized by Egypt (6 + 2.5 tons, shipped from #Latakia port) as well as by Jordan past days.

This thread by @hxhassan is worth a read -- #HTS's violent response to #AlQaeda affiliate Huras Al-Din's overreach will have significant consequences.
A few additional notes of my own, to follow:
- This is all entirely consistent with #HTS/#JFS/#Nusra policy since ~2014.

New Xhemati Alban media has yet more SPG-9DM and AGS-17 use in #Kabani #Latakia, including at positions that have been hit before. Mostly harassing fire.
Seen here, weapon setup, loading.

I must say, Latakia looks beautiful. SPG-9/AGS-17 fire and hits on regime positions seen here, though I doubt the latter caused much cas.

More long range targeting. In the second image, it does appear that the SyAA fighter is badly by shrapnel. This small outpost was also hit last summer. []
All quite standard action from the group.

The intra-jihadi dynamic in #Idlib is rapidly intensifying, as #HTS is seeking to re-assert itself vis-a-vis (1) the opposition, (2) local civil society, (3) #Turkey & (4) increasingly exasperated #AlQaeda-leaning factions.
In doing so, it's revealing its multiple identities.
