A Russian Ka 52 attack helicopter was absorbed at different points in the day today over the city of #Qamishli in northern #Hasakah province.
The aircraft traversed along the border region and tracked to the Qamishli airport.

NEW - U.S. special forces launched a helicopter-borne raid in #Assad-controlled territory ~15km south of #Qamishli in NE #Syria overnight, killing a senior #ISIS leader & capturing several others alive.

That’s the 1st op in regime-held areas since Abu Ghadiya in Oct 2008.

Some local sources claim at least 2 of those captured alive were members of a local pro-#Assad militia — but that remains unconfirmed.

Not clear if the deconfliction line with #Russia was used. #Russian aircraft & personnel are stationed at #Qamishli airport, not far away.

The #Qamishli area is an old stomping ground for #ISIS since AQI days, where #Assad’s Military Intel ran a ‘clearing house’ for AQI foreign fighters heading to #Iraq & for a time, a paramilitary training base.

From ‘03-‘08, 1,000s of AQI foreign fighters passed through the area.

#NESyria KNC's Fouad Aliko (Yekiti, he is in exile) tells Syria TV that the US wants to restart the intra-Kurdish talks. The KNC wants the Self-Administration to release all political prisoners first: 'Last night 3 journalists were released, a positive step.'

Aliko: The talks have been on hold for 1.5 years, now with what is happening in Ukraine and between the US and Russia, the Americans do not want to leave Syria to the Russians.

And he made some other interesting points. Will tweet them later.

#NESyria The intra-Assyrian/Syriac (christian) talks are moving faster than the intra-Kurdish talks...

ADO's Gabriel Moushe (left) spent considerable time in a regime prison.

"لتحدث اشتباكات بين عناصر الحاجزين مما أدّى إلى مقتل عنصرٍ من عناصر فرقة الرابعة، ويُدعى حسن ابو أسد."

NE #Syria: Seems the Asayish have deployed at least one sniper/spotter team in #Qamishli during clashes with the NDF there. Seems a SVD Dragunov with a POSP pattern optic, plus spotter with AKM/EOTech RDS/Magnifier.

https://twitter.com/N0tWoofers/status/1384844159572393985

Some more video seen here. Those kitted AKs are quite popular, note the Magpul stock and PEQ(15) too.

https://twitter.com/N0tWoofers/status/1384844159572393985

Great to see HAT kit in action. Now they're using RPG-7V with PG-7V, and an American-supplied M4 carbine. Optic is a Chinese knockoff ACOG though.

'Turkish Tel Abyad', that is how the vast majority of its inhabitants (Arabs) call the Turkish half of Tel Abyad. I wanted to see it with my own eyes, cuz I wondered if the town was like half Turkish half Arab or majority Arab. It is absolutely the latter. It is an Arab town.

Of course, education, services and so on are Turkish and jn Turkish. But the Arab inhabitants speak Arabic among themselves. They are bilingual. Same goes 4 the town of Harran, roughly between Şanlıurfa and Akçakale. Ak = white, kale = castle/the Turkish translation of Tel Abyad.

What I also learned, the Arabic of Akçakale/Turkish Tel Abyad, Harran and Şanliurfa (mixed population) is like Iraqi Arabic, to my surprise. It started already in the hotel where a waitor said 'aani' (ana, Iraqi way). In Akçakale I heard a lot of -ich instead of -ik: beitich.

Eventual fight brewing over #Syria's oil?

Latest @DoD_IG report on @CJTFOIR warns of increasing attempts by #Assad regime, #Russia to get more access to oil fields "particularly in rural areas south & east of #Qamishli"

@CJTFOIR

If 250 #SDF oil guards graduated from @CJTFOIR training each month from April to June, there would be at least 750 fighters to guard the oil fields

But per @DoD_IG report, as of end of June, "approximately 50 to 60 percent of the required guard force had been trained"

@CJTFOIR

Each trained guard is issued an #AK47 & charged w/standing watch, doing mobile patrols

@CJTFOIR told @DoD_IG the oil guards are also being prepared to respond to sabotage

1. Ongoing thread covering #IS’s response to and comms around recent developments in northern #Syria. Focus will be on camps, prisons and tactics.

2. 9 Oct: Something weird going on in #Raqqa, which was, per #SDF reports last night, subject to a “large-scale assault” by #IS. Meanwhile, total radio silence from #IS.

3. This is strange. When #IS has mounted flash urban assaults in years gone by, it has intensively reported on them, often as the attacks were ongoing. Think #Palmyra, Dec 16; Kirkuk, Oct 16, #Rutbah, May 16, #Kobane, Jun 15.

News are so fast:

The Syrian Army is in Manbij now. Another Syrian Army force heading towards the Turkish advance supported by Syrian #Kurds.

It only needed the announcement of the #US withdrawal to put the end of the war in #Syria on a fast track in no time.

#Kurds agreed on all requested points by #Damascus and #Russia is the guarantor.

#Kurds have become part of the #Syria/n security allied forces.

The Syrian Army agreed to take in hand all #ISIS prisoners, families and those on the run.

#Europe will have to deal with #Damascus now.

That “1000” is, roughly, the entire US presence in #Syria.

What does “northern #Syria” mean? Are they being drawn down to Deir ez Zour? Are we seeing an Arab-focused last chance strategy in slow formation?

@DeptofDefense

The U.S. withdrawal from #Syria is underway, as directed overnight by #Trump & supported by @DeptofDefense.

As I wrote a few days ago, opening the doors to #Turkey put the writing on the wall.

@DeptofDefense HUGE developments in north #Syria, as the #SDF agrees a de facto surrender deal w. the #Assad regime, in return for a #Russia-backed #SAA move to block #Turkey's advances.

Looks like #Manbij, #Kobani, #Qamishli & possibly #Raqqa are all included in this agreement.

#SAA moving.
