While #Turkey is very a seismically active area and strong earthquakes frequently take place, this is NOT the case for #Syria. The February 6 Earthquake only further highlights the Syrian people's unluckiness.

I went through the 7,200+ earthquakes recorded by Syria's National Center for Earthquakes (NCE) between 1995 and 2021 and here is what I found:
1. Since 1995, no earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 and over was recorded on Syrian territory. Turkey witnessed 18.

In #Syria, the ancient city of #Tadmur was liberated from #ISIS. #Russia celebrated a classical music concert in the ancient amphitheatre in #Palmyra. Then ISIS retook the city for a few weeks before it was defeated again. These are tactical victories.

A number of TV channels and websites close to #Iran published a statement attributed to the so-called "Syria's Allies Operations Room" confirming that the #IDF targeted two of their sites in the vicinity of the Syrian city of #Palmyra.1/6

The statement indicated that the attack was carried out from over the Al-Tanf area and confirmed the deaths and injuries among the fighters of these militias. It also explicitly referred to an American role in this attack, and vowed to respond "very strong".2/6

After a decade of unfathomable violence and human tragedy that has made Syria the defining war of the early 21st century, the fighting has tapered off but the suffering hasn't

Syria's war robbed 83-year-old Abderrazaq Khatoun of 13 of his children and one of his wives, but he was forced to overcome his grief quickly to raise 11 orphaned grandchildren u.afp.com/UxZj
Syria's decade-long war has left more than 380,000 people dead and forced millions into exile
Here is a summary of the main events in the conflict, which has drawn in a host of regional and international powers u.afp.com/UxiK

#SyriaโPalmyriaโDuring the past few days, #Iranian militias have forced a number of families to leave their homes, with the aim of seizing them.
@OIRSpox @IDF
@OIRSpox @IDF
Iranian #terrorist militias forced nearly 30 families from the northern neighborhoods of #Palmyra to leave their homes to accommodate the families of the Afghan, Iranian and Iraqi #militia members. The move is to be the beginning of the demographic change process.
In 2015, #Isil took and started destroying #Palmyra in Syria. That was when the so-called world leaders and their same conservative cheerleaders woke up, cried wolf and commissioned more wars. Prior to that, Syrians was slaughtered but none of those people showed as much horror.
SAD that we show more care & protection to objects than we show other humans. An evidence of the absence of humanity. In the current debate, statues have once again proven to matter more than the lives of black people of UK. Shame on our country and its leaders. SHAME!
Today, the same conservative so-called patriotic sects are outraged at statues being destroyed than they have ever been about institutional racism. Because of course, statues matter more than black lives. And that buttresses the point of #blacklivesmatter

A short (?) thread with my not necessarily very logical associations about #Palmyra and the wreaths.
A short (?) thread with my not necessarily very logical associations about #Palmyra and the wreaths.
The examples of wreaths from priests' modiuses #Palmyra Syria. All three wreaths have a flower in the centre. The exact meaning of different central medallions is not known, they are probably associated with different cults in Palmyra.
Different time (4th-3rd C BCE), different place, but this Etruscan wreath reminds me of Palmyra
I'm happy to read the technical description: The leaves and the rosettes are sewn with wires to a ribbon of thin gold sheet

Harun Farockisโs film โWar at a Distanceโ in @MoMAPS1โs #TheaterOfOperations Gulf War exhibit gave me even more to think about the ethics of digital recreations of cultural heritage destroyed in war, eg, #Palmyra: vdb.org/titles/war-disโฆ
Farocki points out that the guidance technology used for self-driving cars, manufacturing equipment, etc, was developed primarily to guide missiles.
The laser scanning technology that can measure a cultural monument is the technology developed to scan an enemy landscape and lock on to targets.
1. Ongoing thread covering #ISโs response to and comms around recent developments in northern #Syria. Focus will be on camps, prisons and tactics.
Almost daily #ISIS raids in central Syria now.

Why the #US illegal recognition of the occupied Golan Heights as part of #Israel is dangerous:
1. Arabs will talk & express indignation but will do nothing
2. Syria as a state can't declare war on Israel coz it needs to rebuild itself and can't afford to see the country destroyed

#Israel Air Force, with the unlimited US military support, is capable of destroying the Syrian infrastructure in days & cripple the country for decades in case of war.
Only local resistance, detached but adopted the state - Lebanon trio equation "Army, People, Resistance" - can.

THREAD: The full story of Syria's #Raqqa 'The Capital of Liberation' from the uprising until the devastation:
1-History:
Raqqa is the Syrian city, situated northern eastern Syria. 1970s the Euphrates dam was built and turned the poor small town of Raqqa into a city.
Raqqa is the Syrian city, situated northern eastern Syria. 1970s the Euphrates dam was built and turned the poor small town of Raqqa into a city.
During the evolution process of Syria, Raqqa's share of development projects was small & most of the resources were stolen by Regime's officials and the state budget was being stolen by Hafiz Assad and his loyal elite. Therefore Raqqa city remained one of the poor cities of Syria
