   Syrian Army and Hezbollah Seize the Strategic Rebel Stronghold of Al-Hadher in Southern Aleppo

 

 

   On Thursday afternoon, the Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division – in coordination with Hezbollah, the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Aleppo City, the Al-Ba’ath Battalions, Harakat Al-Nujaba, Kataeb Hezbollah, and Firqa Fatayyemoun – launched a decisive assault on the strategic rebel stronghold of Al-Hadher, capturing the entire city within 2 hours of beginning their large-scale assault against the Islamist rebels of Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki, the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra”, and Liwaa Suqour Al-Sham.

 

   The Syrian Arab Army and their allies were able to seize the rebel stronghold of Al-Hadher after conducting several successful military operations this week, targeting the surrounding villages that border this imperative city in Aleppo’s southern countryside from its southern flank.

 

   Following the capture of Al-Hadher, the Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division and their allies pushed further west towards the other rebel stronghold of Tal Eis, striking the Islamist rebels from Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki, and Liwaa Suqour Al-Sham at the eastern flank before entering this town that overlooks the strategic Damascus-Aleppo Highway.

According to preliminary battlefield reports from Tal Eis, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies have eized most of this town; however, the reports surfacing of its capture have been denied by direct sources on the ground with the Syrian Armed Forces.

 

   If the Syrian Army and their allies seize Tal Eis, the Islamist rebels will be in serious trouble as not only do they lose another strategic town, but also, the obstruction of their primary supply route from the provincial capitals of the Idlib and Aleppo Governorates.

Kurdish forces launched a big push on Sinjar today. So far they've apparently severed the highway from Syria to Mosul and have liberated half the city.

    It is pretty shity from the first look, outside of numbers. It is loaded with same crap is major newspapers. It basically ignore reasons behind insreased social problems - problems with ground waters, drought, that pushed big number of farmers/peasants from fields to cities and big number of refugees from Iraq, that put Syrian economy under even higher pressure. Corruption is presented everywhere, but it started to growth because of worsening situation in Syria.

 

   Problems were already visible in 2008.

"UNFAO (Food and Agriculture) Syria Representative Abdullah Bin Yehia is seeking USG commitment to the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs 2008 Drought Appeal.  Yehia proposes to use money from the appeal to provide seed and technical assistance to 15,000 small-holding farmers in northeast Syria in an effort to preserve the social and economic fabric of this rural, agricultural community.  If UNFAO efforts fail, Yehia predicts mass migration from the northeast, which could act as a multiplier on social and economic pressures already at play and undermine stability Syria," the report read.

 According to the report the north-east Syrian province of Al-Hasakah was hardest-hit by the country's worst drought in four decades. The UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) launched an appeal on September 2008 requesting $20.23 million to assist the people of Syria. However, by November there had "not appeared to have been much movement on the part of donor countries to fund the appeal."

US presidential candidate from the Republican Party, Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina said that if he was the head of state, he would shoot down Russian planes operating in Syria. This he said on the radio station AM 970 The Answer.
