1/ I read many threads about #Suweida and #ISIS attack. In a few words, as I stated in my last article, there is a failure in the Syrian Army security of the province because no-one thought ISIS would have the courage to mount an attack

2/+ Among ISIS attackers, there were people of the same province who know the area very well and even the population.
The 32 #ISIS killed were mainly Palestinians who were dislocated from Yarmouk to the only ISIS pocket remaining under the Syrian Army control in al Badiya.

3/+ The Syrian Army considered the priority is to liberate Daraa and Qunietra first, both provinces linked to Israel, USA, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and therefore is much more complicated than the 100km under #ISIS control in al-Badiya.

4/+ Most of the Druse men in Suweida fight in the Army and NDF. IT is not a question of "teaching the druse a lesson". It is much more simple: a failure of the security procedures.
This is a war and when at war there are hundreds of thousands of casualties. ISIS will hit again.

5/+ Now the Syrian army has distributed weapons and installed several military positions to protect the province.

ISIS crossed al-Tanf, undisturbed by the #USA, and drove south to Suweida. That also should be taken into consideration.

6/ ISIS is finished in Quneitra (2% remaining). The next step will be al-Badiya and Idlib to finish off ISIS and al-Qaeda et al.

Suweida didn't pay a heavier price than Damascus or Aleppo, or Homs, or Hama or any other Syrian province. The war is coming to an end.

END.
