🇮🇶🇸🇾🇺🇸🇹🇷 Turkish Air Force operation in Syria and Iraq and the American reaction
Simultaneously with the start of the counter-terrorism operation inside Turkey, the formal reason for which was the terrorist attack in Ankara, the Turkish authorities resumed attacks on the positions of Kurdish formations in Iraq and Syria.
🔻From October 1 to October 4, more than 80 missile and bomb strikes were carried out by F-16C/D fighters north of Mosul and east of Dahuk in Iraq alone. During the three days of the operation in Iraq, 27 sorties were flown.
And everything seems to look very good and beautiful. The Turks are hitting the Kurds in response to what seems to be clear. However, this will not give actual results. But the management reported on successes and raised the rating among the population.
🔻And yesterday, two Akıncı drones carried out four strikes on the positions of the “Syrian Democratic Forces” in the province of Hasakah. One strike hit a car with Kurds, the second hit a building housing SDF forces, and two more hit strong points near Hasakah.
But more interesting is what happened a little later. Footage of a Turkish drone destruction somewhere in northern Syria has appeared on the Internet. From the debris it became clear that it was a Turkish Anka-S UAV, and the successful catch was attributed to the Kurds.
However, the press service of the American Central Command said that the drone was shot down by US Air Force fighters because of the threat it posed to American troops.
🔻And in principle, in this case, the Americans are not lying. The attack on the SDS took place in the Hasakah area, that is, where the American contingent is stationed. In this situation, the destruction of a UAV over Syria can be considered a strong hint to the Turks that they are on the verge of a serious foul.

🇸🇾🇺🇸🇹🇷 The next stage of the Turkish Air Force operation in Syria
On the night of October 6, the Turkish Air Force again attacked Syrian territory, hitting the positions of the Syrian Democratic Forces. This time, the scale of Air Force involvement has increased: 19 F-16C/D, two E-7T AWACS aircraft and at least six Akıncı, Anka-S, Bayraktar TB2 UAVs.
Only this time there was a curious feature: the Turks did not fly into SAR airspace, operating strictly near the border. This is probably due to yesterday's incident with the Anka-S drone shot down by the Americans.
Turkish planes attacked almost the entire border, from Aleppo to Hasakah. Even three oil stations in eastern Syria, which are essentially under American protectorate, came under attack.
🔻The effectiveness of this operation is, as before, questionable. The Turks announced dozens of killed Kurds, but this is of no practical use. But Ankara can calmly justify its presence in Syria.
The Turkish Parliament has already started talking about the need to extend the mandate for cross-border operations, which expires at the end of October. And, given recent events, its extension is a matter of time.

🇮🇱🇱🇧🇸🇾 The Israeli media, citing some French sources in the Elysee Palace, claim that both Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad were given a warning.
If they decide to intervene in the conflict, the Israelis will open another front with the support of the American fleet (we are talking about an aircraft carrier strike group, which yesterday began to be transferred to the eastern Mediterranean). And both will suffer an unenviable fate (targeted liquidation), and Damascus will turn into a “second Dahiya” (we are talking about the events of the Second Lebanon War, when the southern suburb of Beirut Dahiya was practically wiped off the face of the Earth).
At the same time, the Israeli media are increasingly talking about some agreements on the participation of the US Armed Forces in a full-scale joint operation against Hezbollah side by side with the Israel Defense Forces.
And all this news comes amid of an almost unanimous decision by members of the American Congress to forget about military assistance to Ukraine in favor of military assistance to Israel.

🇮🇱🇱🇧🇸🇾 According to a report on the Israeli 14th channel - a local equivalent of Fox News and one of the main mouthpieces of the ultra-Orthodox - it was stated that Hezbollah has approached the brother of the Syrian President, Maher Assad, to prepare the personnel of the 4th Division under his control for the opening of a new front on the Golan Heights.
Despite the fact that the 14th channel often presents wishful thinking as reality, in this case they are declaring a long-awaited scenario: the air defense systems of the Syrian Arab Army have been systematically destroyed since the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. Strikes are being carried out not only on targets of pro-Iranian formations, but also on the SAA. This is done to reduce Syria's defensive potential.
The scenario of expanding the buffer zone from the occupied part of the Golan Heights eastward by about 20 km has been discussed in Israel during the active phase of the war in 2017-2018. If anyone thinks that Israel has abandoned such plans, they are mistaken.
In general, the creation of another casus belli in the form of accusing the Syrians of preparing for a major war is what is needed. It is not a fact that they will take advantage of it. But to prepare in advance, to deliver some preemptive strikes based on received secret information, no one prevents.

Black Friday Syrian-style
There is increasing evidence that HTS militants have already reached Hama Province, after previously claiming to have fully captured Idlib Province. At the same time, units of the "Syrian National Army" have occupied the Kweiris airbase and are moving further.
From a logical standpoint, the situation in Aleppo has become critical, as the remaining forces there now face the prospect of being outflanked. Given how the militants are disseminating footage of the captured territories, the flight of Syrians will accelerate.
It is now interesting to see what the Kurdish units, which are still present in Tel Rifaat, will do, as they are actively firing on the city, which clearly suggests an imminent attempt to storm the settlement under SDF control.
But with the withdrawal of Syrians from Kweiris, and consequently they will most likely also leave the areas to the east, sooner or later the militants will reach the Euphrates River (more likely sooner), which will directly collide them with the SDF, who are surely aware of this and preparing accordingly.
Of course, the main focus is now on Hama, which the militants are just 20 km away from. Given the pace of the collapse of the SAA's defensive line, the bandit formations will reach it today or by tomorrow morning. But the area west of Manbij should also be watched.
This is how Syrian lands, which were reclaimed over the years, are being given away for free in a fire sale.

❗️🇷🇺🇸🇾 Crisis in Syria (Hama province): Offensive by militants east of Hama, SAA loses Kalaat al-Madiq
Situation as of the end of December 2, 2024
The situation in Hama province was extremely difficult throughout the day and worsened by the evening.
▪️The militants moved reinforcements to the area north of Kalaat al-Madiq the day before and occupied Karaket and El-Arim. The enemy planned to attack Kalaat al-Madiq in the morning of this day, and ultimately carried it out, despite strikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces.
The militants' initial attacks failed, but at the moment the Syrians confirm the loss of Kalaat al-Madiq and that the fighting is now actually taking place south of the settlement, which indicates a difficult situation. Apparently, the enemy is approaching the Christian village of Skalbiya, which will face a massacre if the militants succeed.
▪️Fighting continues in the Al-Mughayr and Berij areas, as well as in the vicinity of Hamamiyat. The militants claim strikes by drones and ATGMs on Syrian tanks. At the same time, the Syrians, based on the available information and footage, are still holding back the attacks of the groups.
▪️The presence of militants remains in Kafr Zita and Al-Lataminah, while the Syrian armed forces are working with barrel bombs on Khan Sheikhoun and Maarrat An-Nu'man. The situation is stable in Halfaya, Taybat Al-Imam and Ma'ardes, the cities are under government control.
🔻At the same time, the militants consistently claim and post footage of drone strikes on the territory of Halfaya, Hama and the Hama military airfield. There were also reports today of the destruction of several tanks and other equipment, as well as one helicopter. The provincial capital was also subjected to shelling. In the Baas area, five people were killed and three were injured.
▪️The most difficult situation is observed northeast of Hama, where large concentrations of militants are recorded in the vicinity of the settlement of Maar Ash-Shihur and further north in Mrewad and Al-Mibattan. Apparently, they are trying to break through to the mountain range east of Hama, which could facilitate their further fighting in the vicinity of the city.
▪️At the same time, fighting continued in Fan Kubla throughout the day. Both the Syrians and the militant groups reported heavy fighting in the settlement. However, no one has yet claimed control over the city. In addition, information continues to emerge about the further advance of the militants to the east. However, so far they remain just words without objective control footage.

🇸🇾🖇 On the Fall of Hama
Today, militants from the terrorist organization "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham" entered Hama: the city held out for five days. At the moment, the presence of terrorists is recorded in the northern part of the city and at the military airfield located to the west.
The official communiqué of the Syrian Arab Army states that the units left the city in order to preserve the lives of civilians and move the fighting outside the city. In essence, the provincial capital was surrendered without even trying to cling to the neighborhoods.
Over the past day, the Syrian organs of information disgrace (they cannot be called otherwise) have called not to believe the information of the militants, to trust only official sources, not to succumb to propaganda. All this time, the information resources of the militants simply flooded the information field with various fake and not-so-fake videos and resonant statements.
Ultimately, the phase of "we control everything, don't believe the lies" has turned into the phase of "we have left the city".

"Despite months of US-mediated talks & quiet 'working group' meetings in Damascus -- almost all of which were seen as 'constructive' -- the SDF has implemented no steps.
In that vacuum of movement, tensions have steadily climbed & "Plan B" is now back on the table, I'm told.
The coming weeks will be *vitally* important in determining if the SDF's agreement to integrate will finally be met with action.
For now, the SDF has been offered divisions, full Kurdish rights, ministerial roles (+ commanders in MOD & MOI) & more. But still no movement.
Since early-2025, the US government's policy (DOD, State & White House) on the SDF has been to push for dissolution & integration -- the future is with Syria's sovereign, recognized government, not with a non-state movement with no international status.
The clock is ticking."

However, the recent surge - marked by bolder, more frequent attacks and the release of official claims - represents a notable shift.
This change appears to be a response to the Interior Ministry's recent crackdown on ISIS cells, coinciding with the joining of the US-led Coalition.
