Alarming news comes from Syria. In the eastern region of Homs Province, militants of the Islamic State terrorist organization (IG), banned in Russia, launched a powerful attack. According to the Arab portal Al-Masdar, terrorists attacked government forces on Wednesday night.


Fierce fighting in the province of Homs. Militants of the IG are trying to break through to Palmyra


According to military sources, IG militants are attacking the positions of the government army and trying to break through the blockade in the Badiya area, so that they can then capture Palmyra without hindrance and gain a foothold in the city. Currently, fierce battles are proceeding with varying success, while the government forces manage to hold positions.

This is the third offensive of the Islamic State terrorists (prohibited in the Russian Federation) against Palmyra. The first time the city was captured by the forces of the IG in the spring of 2015. Almost a year later, in March 2016, the Syrian army, with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, was able to liberate the city, but remained there only until December 2016, when, as a result of the second offensive, IG militants again captured the city. The final cleansing and liberation from the terrorist organization "Islamic State" of the city, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Palmyra, took place in March 2017.

        It is necessary to somehow hinder the activity of Assad in southern Syria near the border with Israel.

      They want to divert resources, forces and funds from the offensive in Daraa. It’s quite reasonable.

        Currently fierce fights are with varying success, government forces still manage to hold on to positions.

      It seems that someone does not like the latest agreement on Syria. Channel 2 News reports that an agreement has been reached between Israel and Russia, during which Assad’s army will return to southern Syria on its border with Israel, Russia will commit itself to the absence of Iranians or Hezbollah in this region, and Israel will retain freedom of action against the consolidation of Iranian forces in Syria. It is reported that the Russian defense minister called Israeli defense minister Lieberman and invited him to Moscow next week.

      According to senior politicians, agreements were reached in the following areas:

      1) Assad’s army returns to the south of Syria to the border with Israel;
      2) Russia undertakes that in this area there will be no presence of Iran or Hezbollah;
      3) For its part, Israel will accept Assad’s return to southern Syria if the Russians fulfill their obligations to remove Iran and Hezbollah from the Israeli border;
      4) In addition, Russia will publicly urge all foreign elements to leave Syria, referring to Iran, Hezbollah, as well as the United States and Turkey. This is important because Israel believes that the Iranians will not so easily abandon Syria;
      5) Israel will retain freedom of action against the consolidation of Iran throughout Syria.

          Everything is simpler - Russia is considered there to be “looking” in the region. Accordingly, the reception is bursting with "petitioners". Yes Here, again - before the dust dissipated on the road after NetanYahoo's visit, a new client was about to enter:

          Either Avik asked for it, or they call him “to the carpet”. request laughing On the same day, it would be nice to pull up hezbollists, Asadovites, Persians, and, perhaps, Erdoganovites to Moscow. Close them all, together with Lieberman, indoors, and let them agree. Yes, and do not let out until you decide. Yes

            As for the "gas poisoned" is you famously bent. The episode with shelling of the outskirts of one village was a few chemical shells. But there was no gas poisoning - to create a combat gas concentration of shells it took one hundred times more than was available.

        Many, ordinary Igilovites have hostages. They would be happy to screw from there, but they are sent to slaughter by mercenaries and instructors of the "Western partners."
        The situation there is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
        But this, of course, does not justify the Barmalei.

        The barmalei’s kneading is steep ... everything is as it should plus religious fanaticism!
        Recall the story, for adventurers, bandits, pirates and without a religious background, there were enough incentives for Schaub to go to kill and to death if sho!
        Barmaley brought up in a fanatical faith, sho after his death awaits their Barmalean paradise with virgins and all sho put on the list, something that they can not see in their ordinary life!

        It’s bad if such brains are not put in place on time, what kind of banderlog-barmaley can be obtained.

      Angel, here I completely agree with you. If you rephrase one well-known saying: “good barmaley is a murdered barmaley.” ”This message confirms that in Syria there is still a long way to peace and tranquility. I decided that in Syria a90% had already finished and stopped following the news, but it got out of a hurry

    And they take out ammunition from the sand, because: "the whole world is fighting with the barmaley." Why announce sanctions to someone else when Russia exists? If Ksenia had won on March 18, they would have suspended the sanctions, and so on with garlic: there is no time for sanctions against Russia and the barmlays.
