🇸🇾 NEW: Major convoys of the Syrian Arab Army are seen south of Hama
📰 Withdraw form Aleppo ok, but why from Hama?

Withdraw to where? Is Bachar withdrawing whole of Syria to Tartous? How is he reversing a 10 year war in one week! Does anyone have a damn answer?

🇱🇧 Doesn't matter how it ends, and doesn't matter why and what and how.

Lebanon should prepare for being isolated from all land border sides, and Hezbullah should try to take as much from Syria as possible before it is too late. If that is even possible and we all know the IDF has eyes and is hawksih about any transfers.

Not a doomer or pessimist, but what's happening not only should have been impossible but in no way was ever expected by any sane mind. Not even Al-Jolani expected this is possible.

The rebels and terrorist executed a 7-Oct tier operation in Syria, with minimal death toll and tremendous ground control success against a failed army and leadership.

Retreating from the rear instead of digging up defensive positions and setting up tanks and field guns to attempt to delay the advance or the even further rear to better prepare, showcases a complete collapse of the Syrian army leadership.

A collapse without a single officer or leadership being killed, without a single mass casualty event, without a single sabotage. Without a single defection. They decided to give up.

And I have something to say, because it has been bugging me keeping it inside me, but if the Syrian intelligence were more busy gathering intel on the enemy instead of spying of people's Facebook accounts and torturing innocents crossing the border for work, or family, they might have actually been better prepared.

But hey, maybe if the soldiers weren't more busy putting up fake checkpoints on the Lebanese border to force people to give them bread, cigarettes, and some cash they might have had enough manpower.

❗️🇸🇾 CONFIRMED: Gunfire in Damascus, the capital of Syria, near the building of the General Staff of the Armed Forces
President Bachar wasn't in Syria and reports claim he's just landing back in Damascus from a visit to Moscow.

A cope now would be on time, but why and by who? And the retreats indicate someone asked everyone to pull out and retreat. There is no way the Syrian army was not able to fight in several places. No way.

As for Daraa? Situation started to escalate there and Homs? Soon.

The rebels entered Hama province and sleeper cells are already in the city, like all cities.
👍47🤬15👀10🫡3
📰 Rebels are driving from province to province without securing anything, it's a show of force and cutting any defensive line like butter.

It's simply showcasing control without any real control, by filling the vacuum because there is no one else.

If Homs collapses Lebanon as a whole is surrounded, because Damascus would be in danger. If something doesn't happen to save this situation, the whole Middle East is going to shift and change. Because this happened at the worst time possible.

With Gaza weakened and under occupation, Hezbullah degraded and confined to a weaker position, Syria collapsed into a new rule that always threatened Lebanon...Iran isolated and under future economic sanctions...

Just yikes.

🇺🇸 Too late to get educated on the war in Palestine and NYP, which insult? After everything Biden did for Israel he undermined it?

No president has ever did to them what Biden did after 7-Oct

🇸🇾 The Syrian army states that no rebels have entered Hama and the convoys reported are for the Syrian army.

🇸🇾 Syrian soldiers in Hama stand ground, ams clashes haven't reached the area in a first sign of possible stability.

The rebels and terrorists are thinned down due to their massive spread for hundreds of kilometers, and are possibly not ready to enter Hama with light vehicles.

(Absence of night optics is always puzzling for armies in the 21st cent)
