OK, contacted some of my sources through twitter and found out the Kuwaris Airforce base has been surrounded holding on since the last 2 and half years. Basically they have been under Siege since late 2012...

Military Situation as of right now, which is after the beginning of the Hama Offensive and the very recent Aleppo offensive



Red - Syrian Army and the Coalition
Green - FSA + insurgents
Black - ISIS
Yellow - YPG

Two more villages in Aleppo in the army’s hands

Army units, in cooperation with the popular defence groups, established control over al-Huweiz and al-Qarasi villages in the south-western countryside of Aleppo province, a military source announced.

So Russia is trying to get the international community to stop funding and sending aid to the terrorists. . . .
I doubt this will happen, perhaps in my opinion if the war escalates beyond the borders of Syria then various governments may consider stopping the funding of various terrorist groups in a proxy war.


Russia urges end to foreign support for Syria militants

Here is a good image of who is funding who. . . .

-ISIS Launches Wide-Scale Offensive in East Aleppo
-Besieged Syrian Army inside Kuweires airport stopped another huge attack by ISIS.
-Russia, Jordan agree on military coordination on Syria

Jordan changing sides could be big. Govt. forces may get the advantage in the southern front of Syria as so far Jordan had pro Washington leanings and may have been supplying Rebels with equipment.

-There was a meeting between Putin and Assad, out come of the meeting is basically any country that supports terror, exposing Russian jets at risk, would be legitimate target for Russia. Basically if Russia knows that MANPADS are being supplied by any specific country, that country will get attacked by Russia.

-Small tidbid from Iraq below, ISIS did not loose Baiji, they were basically obliterated. Its a huge defeat to ISIS who had earlier claimed Baiji was impregnable. More than 400 ISIS dead/wounded. Moral would be rock bottom in ISIS camp right now.

Israel lost a jet around Daraa Governorate’s western countryside 18 houers ago.

Update 7:46pm EDT - ISIS group claims to have taken Israeli pilot hostage. Also a report that the Syrian army has taken an Israel supported base in the Golan Heights (Confirmed).

It is said that the Pilot have been captured by IS forces. Israel are doing a big scale search and rescue right now.

There is no informations about how the Jet was brought Down.

Russia is allowed to do bomb runs in Iraq as a agreement between Russia and Iraq the 25th.

This might make it hard for the US to do drop runs for ISIL in Iraq.

Almost there, after 2 and half years the siege on Kuwearis Airbase will soon come to an end

www.almasdarnews.com...

The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham’s (ISIS) large-scale offensive at the Syrian Government stronghold of Al-Safira began with much promise and ended in complete disaster, as the soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and National Defense Forces (NDF) defeated the terrorist group’s encroaching combatants before nightfall yesterday.

According to a military source from the Syrian Arab Army inside the provincial capital of Aleppo, the Syrian Armed Forces killed over 50 enemy combatants from ISIS, including several foreigners from Tunisia, Libya, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.

That is some Royal ass whooping going on for past few weeks

Was busy with my life, so could not update, just logged in for a historic moment, Siege of Kuweyres Airforce airbase broken after 3 years, Syrian Army has joined with once besieged forces at the Airbase...

Syrian reporter cries below while doing a report from Airbase.

Maybe when the hardcore IS are weeded out, northern Iraq and western Syria can reform into a peaceful Sunni state.
