#Syria
-Turkish-backed SNA launched a military operation to capture #Tadef south AlBab& gained several positions& destroyed regime tank
-last night, many civilians in #Aleppo city left their homes as clashes became closer
-in #Idlib, regime is facing huge resistance in #Saraqib
The SNA attack is significant and shows how #Turkey, for now, is opposing the Russian operation in NW #Syria. Question is:what 🇹🇷 think about west #Aleppo as Iranian-backed militias(4th Div, Hezbollah, Baqir Brigade) are the spearhead of the regime forces?
Worth to note that the only time SNA and regime clashed in south al-Bab was in July 2018 when a group of Ahrar al-Sharqye fighters attacked Tadef but withdrew hours later, the commander Abu Khawla was later arrested and the group dissolved #Syria

Disappointed to see a well-established organization like ICG hiring someone who pushes twisted narrative on Syria that aligns with the regime propaganda that dehumanize Syrian victims of atrocities
ICG latest hire Nanar Hawach repeatedly parroted Assad regime and Russia propaganda, following the same mis/disinformation tactics that has been created and pushed to dehumanize and attack Syrian victims
on CW attack on Khan Sheikhoun in 2017, Mr. Hawash repeats on a podcast the Kremlin-sponsored lie of false flag operation, despite being a "researcher" he didn't read OPCW findings and numerous evidence point to regime web.archive.org/web/2023102321…
#Syria 1- Qadri Jameel, the head of People's Will Party which recently signed a memorandum with Syrian Democratic Council, said Jeffrey told SDC the 5 points of US policy for Syria and the northeast told by special sources. Points below. (9:00)
2- Said Jeffrey stated the following
-Turkey will not capture any new area, if so it would face sanctions
-pushing for the Kurdish-Kurdish dialogue to establish a bigger opposition outside the SY coalition
-Cut\disengage the relationship with PKK #Syria
3- -USA doesn't want to give the Kurds a rule\power, but a unified #Syria with protection of the Kurds rights

Jameel didn't mention if he got the information from SDC #Syria
#Syria the weak & unstable reconciliation in #Daraa reached #Damascus countryside. Clashes erupted between ex-rebels and regime forces in Kanaker town as regime forces tried to enter the town and arrest locals who protested yesterday after regime arrested 3 women on a checkpoint
Tension in Kanaker has been escalating in the past few months after regime TV aired an interview of 5 young men and 1 woman accused of being affiliated with underground insurgency group Saraya Qasioun, they said they were responsible for IED attacks in Damascus & its countryside
The alleged cell said they were led by former commander of Furqan Brigade, ex-rebel group in Quneitra & Damascus countryside. The leader of the Brigade Majed al-Khatib, currently in Jordan, denied accusation & said the young men were tortured & forced to say so #Syria
#Syria on Monday schools reopened in regime-held areas after 6 months, the Dean of Faculty of Medicine Dr. Nabogh al-Awa criticised the decision & the Minister of Education, today the Dean was replaced & he said he only heard the decision on Facebook not official channels
The choice of Dr Darem Tabba'a as new Minister of Education was faced with criticism & sarcasm by Syrians because of his profession veterinarian, and the decision to not appoint a more suitable candidate with proper experience & knowledge of the education field #Syria
Majority of Syrians criticised reopening schools now while #COVID19 situation is not going well, of course the decision is beyond the powers of the minister but the quarrel between the minister & the dean on media was a hot topic on social media and local media #Syria
#Syria loyalist websites& fb pages claimed the new government will be announced tomorrow, notably FM Moualem will be replaced by Bassam Sabbagh the Syrian ambassador at OPCW, Janset Kazan to be new Minister of Social Affairs and Labour. In addition to other changes
Moualem has been sick for some time and went into a coma last year, it would be interesting if Sabbagh not Jaafari nor Maqdad who are more famous and spent more time in MoF than him.
Janset is the wife of famous&former intelligence commander Walid Abaza (died in 2017), the family are Circassian from Quneitra province, last year Abkhazia put a statue of him. Janset was a MP but withdrew her candidacy days before the last election, very close to Asma al-Assad
بالنسبة لموضوع قطع المياه عن #الحسكة: بعد عملية نبع السلام توصلت روسيا وتركيا لاتفاق مشابه لاتفاق إدلب تضمن استمرار ضخ المياه الى الحسكة وريفها عبر محطة علوك مقابل استمرار استجرار الكهرباء لمناطق نبع السلام(١٥ ميغاواط) من محطة السويدية قرب المالكية عبر محطة تحويل الدرباسية
بعد الاتفاق انسحبت قوات سوريا الديمقراطية من سد تشرين وسلمتها للنظام الي حول جزء من الكهرباء لمناطق سيطرته في ريف حلب مما زاد الضغط على محطة السويدية، لعدة مرات توقفت قسد عن تزويد مناطق نبع السلام بالكهرباء وردت قوات المعارضة المدعومة من تركيا بإيقاف ضخ المياه الى الحسكة
خلال الشتاء الماضي تبادلت تركيا وقسد الاتهامات بسبب قطع المياه والكهرباء، سمحت تركيا لفرق هندسية تابعة للنظام للكشف عن محطة علوك لكن لم تصلح الفرق أضرار المحطة وقامت ورشات محلية وتركية بإصلاح الإضرار جزئياً بسبب صعوبة الحصول على قطع غيار(بحسب مجلس رأس العين المحلي)
