‘Israel’ Scores another Failure Facing the Axis of Resistance

With successive victories scored in Syria against the terrorist plots, and Iran and Hezbollah’s growing strength, ‘Israel’ is recording yet another diplomatic failure.

The window of opportunity allowing ‘Israel’ to become part of an Arab axis against Iran and the resistance powers in the regions is rapidly closing.

The resistance axis’ expansion towards abandoned Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri terrorist ‘ISIS/ISIL’ group] strongholds in Syria, led some Arab powers to rethink its relations with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Public reports reveal, for example, Jordanian efforts to reach understandings with the Syrian government, including reopening the main crossings between Jordan and Syria for trade purposes, in addition to renewing the flow of intelligence between the two countries.

This is just one example of the major failure of ‘Israel’ and the US-led Western coalition in Syria.

Now, in light of Iran’s achievements, Hamas leadership in Gaza wishes to join the new leading forces in the Middle East, and consequently has publicly declared its support for al-Assad and the new regional order created by the Russians and Iranians in Syria.

For its part, the Zionist entity never had the requisite tools, primarily diplomatic ones, to try and influence events unfolding in Syria. Having no other choice, it relied on the American-led coalition, which let it down.

Someone waited too long, played with the Saudis, played with the Jordanians, and was convinced the “miracle” of the Syrian war would last.

But in the end, al-Assad wasn’t toppled, Iran and Hezbollah have grown stronger, and ‘Israel’ notched up yet another diplomatic failure.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:50 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has scored another major advance in the Deir Ezzor Governorate today, liberating the strategic Thardeh Mountains that overlook the military airport from its western perimeter.

Led by the elite Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army launched their final assault on the Thardeh Mountains this morning, striking the Islamic State’s last positions at the southwestern peak.

Unable to hold their positions, the Islamic State was forced to withdraw completely from the Thardeh Mountains, leaving the Syrian Army in full control for the first time since October 2016.

In addition to liberating the Thardeh Mountains, the Syrian Army also took full control of the Kroum Hill in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor.

However, the Syrian Army would not stop there; they would launch a powerful attack east of the Thardeh Mountains this afternoon.

As a result of this attack, the Syrian Arab Army managed to liberate the Nishan Gas Station, along with the nearby water pumping station.
