SYRIAN ARMY RETAKES AL-THAWRA CITY IN DAMASCUS!

Ziad Fadel

Al-Thawra City: In the Al-Kiswa area, this important junction town is now completely in the hands of the SAA. The Nusra terrorists and their confederates had to grudgingly give up this center. Weapons and ammunition left behind is estimated at over half a million dollars. We want to thank the Arabian apes for the kind contribution to our NDF. By the way, we are pleased to inform our readers that Kornet missiles were also taken including some inculpatory CDs. Very nice.

Jawbar: At Fateena Tower, Teachers’ Tower and the Athletic Arena, 6 terrorists were killed including these:

‘Abdullah Al-Fahd (SAUDI MONKEY VIRUS)
Sa’ad Kharaabishli
Mahmoud Al-Jaddoo’
The other 3 were not identified.

‘Adraa Workers Residencies: 7th and 11th Blocks, SAA and NDF killed 11 terrorists and took 24 prisoner as the vermin are showing signs of morale collapse and starvation.

‘Aaliya Farms in Doumaa: A large number of terrorists killed here yesterday. I have no details.

Al-Maleeha at the Tamico Pharmaceutical Complex: This area is now in clean-up mode. The Nusra had no luck and lost over 20 more terrorists. Of the terrorists, one was identified as Saudi:

“Abu Muhammad Al-Saudi” (SAUDI CHIMPANZEE PIMPLE)

Waadi ‘Ayn Turma: Fighting with no details.

Khaan Al-Shaykh Farms: At the Al-Salaam Highway, SAA laid an ambush for retreating terrorists and killed 14 while taking a large number prisoner. Weapons and ammunition were seized for the NDF’s campaign to rid the world of Wahhabists.

Fighting reported at Al-‘Abaasiyya Quarter and Al-Zabadaani in the Station District. No details.

To my readers: I have to leave town today. I will be back on Sunday morning. I have news from today about Der’ah and Aleppo, but, it’s too much for me to organize before I leave. I’ll take it up Sunday morning. Okay? ZAF

IDLIB CAMPAIGN GAINS MOMENTUM; TERRORISTS DESTROYED IN LATAKIA

Ziad Fadel

Syria militants ambushed, many killed in army operations

IDLIB:

Don’t believe the terrorist nonsense about any gains in this province. It’s just the opposite as more citizens begin to come out and help the army to find and strangle the foreign terrorists.

Kafr Shalaayaa: A helicopter attack on roving terrorists resulted in 4 confirmed terrorist deaths and an undisclosed number of wounded.

Kafr Najd: terrorists defeated and forced to flee warehouse. The contents were most useful and included advanced Turkish communication equipment which is enabling our MI to better monitor the terrorists.

Khaan Shaykhoon: A convoy of terrorist trucks originating in Turkey were vaporized by both aircraft and infantry in a battle that proves that the terrorists never took over this area. 12 vans were destroyed and 4 flatbeds with 23mm cannons were either destroyed or disabled. The SAA is still assessing the scene. Cars were also destroyed and contained several foreign terrorist leaders of Nusra and Ahraar Al-Shaam.

Fighting reported all over these areas: Al-Raami, Sirmeen, Binnish, Kafr Roomaa, Qumaynaat Farms, Buroomaa, ‘Ayn Shayb, Bikfaloon Wall, Nakhla Church, Al-‘Aali, Al-Tayyibaat, Hallooz, Jubb Al-Ahmar, Al-Sirmaaniyya, Al-Rooj Plain (all 18 terrorists were Turks and Saudis, 2 pickups with 23mm cannons destroyed), Al-Basheeriyya, Fayloon, Kafr Laataa, Tal –Deeneet Village, Meenaas, Umayniyya in Al-Zaawiya Mountains, Heelaa, Kafr Yaaseen (big terrorist-stats), Kinsafraa, Nahlayyaa.

Ma’arrat-Massreen: The SAA ambushed foreign leaders of Nusra here and killed them all. A pickup with a 23mm cannon was disabled and the cannon confiscated for use in killing Wahhabists. No names available. This was a highly sensitive operation and may have involved capturing Turkish officers.

HOMS:

Al-Ghajar: An attempted infiltration coordinated with another in Hawsh Taaleb to enter Al-Wa’ra was a disaster for the terrorists. 3 pickups with 23mm cannons were destroyed in both prongs and Wael reports seeing that 52 terrorists were killed and over 80 taken prisoner in another meltdown for these feckless specimens of Rodenta. I have no names at this time.

‘Ayn Al-Danaaneer: An attack on guards at a facility was repelled and a reported number of terrorist casualties still not detailed.

Skirmishing in these areas: Waadi Al-Meera, Zhahrat Ni’ma south of Hasyaa`, Bayt Hajju in Talbeesa, South of Al-Qaryatayn, Nataraat Al-‘Anz Farms, Khirbat Al-Tahtaa southwest of Hasyaa`, Al-Bayaaraat area, Al-‘Aamiriyya, ‘Aqrab, Tal Al-Dahab (pickup with 23mm cannon destroyed), Kafr Laahaa, Keeseen Bay, Burj Qaa’iy, East Salaam, ‘Unq Al-Hawaa (weapons and ammo siezed and 7 terrorists killed).

LATAKIA:

Slinfeh: My wife’s ancestral town. The SAA killed scores of terrorists trying to escape from their recent debacle at Al-Hiffa which we reported yesterday. The route the terrorists took indicates they are not from the area. Many terrorists were killed by villagers with hunting rifles. According to Wael and our relatives in the area, by the time the terrorists arrived just west of Slinfeh, their numbers had been diminished by 40. MI is still scouring the countryside, along with NDF, for terrorist carcasses.

Al-Bahlooliyya: SAA encountered and arrested a pack of local terrorists. No details.

Idlib-Latakia Highway: Confirmed 10 terrorists killed trying to block the road:

Maazen Haydar
Muhammad Keekhiyaa

The rest were all foreigners including Libyans and Tunisians.

THE DISAPPEARING DER’AH FRONT

Ziad Fadel

Syrian troops patrol the village of Haydariyah, outside the city of Qusayr, on May 13, 2013.

Nothing has served our readers’ appetite for humor more than the Great Southern Front. It’s been talked about for months as being “built up”. For a while it was discussed in the context of “unleashing”. It was mentioned as though there were some huge division to back it up although nobody seemed to want to identify it. Maybe, it was like Patton’s “Spruce Goose” division in England – a canard (so to speak) – a wooden decoy meant to confuse the Syrian Army. But, that doesn’t seem likely either. After thinking about this for some time, it seems the Southern Front is a big black hole – a collapsed star or dwarf that sucks in only nonsense, disinformation, pap, poop, propaganda and empty patter.

Yesterday, in Der’ah nothing much happened other than the usual surrenders and desertions back to old villages. Oh, there was some skirmishing, but, hardly enough to keep a big army busy. It wasn’t easy spending the day just playing canasta.

Yarmouk School in Der’ah City: SAA laid an ambush for lethargic and wasted weasels. 17 vermin killed. No prisoners.

Northeast Al-Masri Roundabout: An attempt to surround a military outpost was defeated and 3 terrorists were killed. The rest rushed back to the cheese factory.

Arba’een Park: Skirmishing. No details.

Al-Quds Mosque: Ditto.

Al-Hiraak – Al-Hurayk Junction: Another flatbed with a 23mm cannon was stopped in its tracks with 3 terrorists killed:

Kaheel: Skirmishing with no details.

‘Itmaan: At the Green Mosque, 4 terrorists killed and 9 taken prisoner.
