The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the Tiger Forces and their allies have continued their successful operation against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the province of Daraa. They have liberated the town of al-Hirak, the villages of Rakham, al-Surah and Alma as well as the 49 Air Defense Brigade and some nearby points.
Additionally, government forces liberated Sad Ibta, Tell Hamad and the 271st Brigade north of the city of Daraa.
A humanitarian corridor allowing civilians to withdraw from the combat area was also opened near the town of Da’il.
All signals show that the SAA is set to continue its military operation in southern Syria in a full force.
On June 28, the SAA and its allies repelled an ISIS attack on their positions southwest of the border town of al-Bukamal. According to the SAA General Command, many ISIS fighters died and a vehicle was destroyed in the clashes.
On June 27, the Syrian military claimed that it had cleared 5,200km2 of the Deir Ezzor desert of ISIS cells. However, establishing securing along the entire border will require further efforts.
13 planes, 14 helicopters and 1,140 personnel have been withdrawn from Syria over the past few days, Russian President Vladimir Putin told the alumni of military academies at a reception on June 28 adding that the pullout of Russian forces from Syria began in December 2017.
Putin’s statement followed reports that some Russian Ka-52 attacks helicopters and their crews have withdrawn from Syria.
However, the withdrawal of some aircraft does not sign that Russia is going to cease support and assistance to the Syrian military on the ground and in the air. As it has already been before, this is just a sign of a new phase, likely with some additional focus on diplomatic efforts, of the Russian participation in the conflict.
Southern Syria is getting steamrolled. The terrorist units are surrendering and reconciling en masse since they realized they have no outside support. Go SAA!!! Next will be Idlib, I’m assuming. It’s time to break the siege on Fuah and Kefraya.
The sudden collapse does seem to reinforce that the terrorists were only viable when supported by western regimes. Now those regimes have withdrawn that support, the terrorists have no hope. So the western regimes were at least partly responsible for causing and prolonging the suffering of Syria.
The terrorists were not merely ‘supported’ by Western regimes, but 100% creations of the Jewish Mafia working clandestinely through all its Western vassal states and its many Arab assets. The Jewish Mafia Pirates have always done their plundering, pillaging and genociding by proxy and deceit and will continue to do so.

Daraa Battle Summary & Outlook.
“Basically, the battle of east and SE Daraa is over, major surrendering on going in many villages, the SAA is now finishing of their encirclement of Daraa al Balad (mostly al Qaeda terrorists there), and soon we will see the Syrian flag in the Nassib border crossing. A day of glory for Syria.
There are some skirmishes and last minutes deals with some terrorists, so we may still see artillery and air attacks in the next few days, but it will be hard for the terrorists to hold the thousand of civilians pushing them out or demanding their surrender.
The battle for Western Daraa is on the way, and as it goes, many villages will also surrender, the SAA will control the area near ISIS and the battle to eliminate ISIS pocket will start in few days.” (Canthama)
Reconciliations in Daraa at Record Speed.
“a quick up date on the speed of reconciliation in SE/east Daraa. We can consider this process in 4 different stages so we better understand the flow of information:
1) Villages that accepted the deal and the SAA is present.
2) Villages where the reconciliation deal was agreed and the terrorist vacated the towns and the SAA is yet to have presence.
3) Villages dealing with the Syrian Gov’t and the terrorists in order to avoid battles inside the town, talks are way in advance and the terrorists that need to decide their fate need time to leave or adjust to the demands.
4) Villages that are considering to deal by the terrorists presence is very strong and still resisting to surrender.
Sometimes we hear village X or Y have surrendered but maps do not reflect it nor Syrian MoD announce it, the reason way is that the Syrian MoD only announce the item 1 above, while folks from the SAA and press do announce all of them at once.

Based on the list above the map above for the SE/East Darra represents the item 1, and if you include all western part of the pocket below, it would represent item 1,2,3, leaving just the eastern part of the pocket (few towns) under item 4. These villages under item 4 received an ultimatum today by the SAA, surrender all heavy weapons, all foreign terrorists, al Qaeda and ISIS must leave, local terrorists will be reconciled or the SAA will attack immediately, that is the map below.

No need to say that this pocket has no change, the only bargain power is that Bosra al Sham is a world heritage site due to the impeccable Roman Theater. They have no chance and soon the locals will expel the damn terrorists.
The battle for eastern Daraa is only few days to be completely over and the Syrian flag to be on the highest place in the Nassib border crossing.” (Canthama)
Bosra al Sham Collapsed, Eastern Daraa Liberated.
“That was fast, the Syrian flag is flying high in Bosra al Sham, the whole SE Daraa has collapsed to the terrorists. Confirmed.” (Canthama)
Rapid Progress of Reconciliations in Western Daraa.
“News from the western Daraa front that will be confirmed by Syrian MoD in the next hours or tomorrow: All villages west and SW of Daraa city has surrendered up to the border of Israeli-ISIS stronghold.

The important villages of Tafas, Muzayrib and Tal Shihab have agreed to surrender.
The expectation continues to the surrendering of Nawa, the 2nd largest town in Daraa Province.” (Canthama)
Russia sees threat of Iran-Israel strife escalating in Syria – FM
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/article/russia-sees-threat-of-iran-israel-strife-escalating-in-syria-fm/
“Russia is concerned that the mutual exchange of fire between Israel and Iran on the Syrian territory as well as Israel’s “initiative” air strikes on the crisis-torn country may result in a large-scale regional conflict, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told the Israeli Kan 11 broadcaster in an interview.
“We see … a threat that at some point, these events, this exchange of attacks and especially initiative attacks by Israeli aviation on some facilities located in Syria, may get out of control and lead to a very serious deterioration of the situation in the region in general. I think that this, of course, is not in the interests of either Russia or Israel,” Bogdanov stated.
Russia is engaged in discussions with Israel on this issue on the level of various government agencies and always considers all concerns that the Israeli leadership has, the deputy foreign minister noted.
At the same time, Bogdanov stressed that Iran’s presence in Syria was limited to military advisers and servicemen assisting Syrians in the fight against terrorism.
“As far as we understand, the Iranian troops are not present on the Syrian territory. There are Iranian servicemen, advisers. I think that their number, although I do not know for sure, is quite limited,” he told the broadcaster, commenting on the Israeli claims about Iranian military involvement in the Syrian conflict and Tehran’s alleged attempts to turn Syria into an anti-Israel state.”
The terrorists aligned with the “Russia friendly” zionazi colonial trump regime and their string pullers in tel aviv send another very specific message of “friendship” to the Russian forces in Syria.
Update: Militants allegedly attack Russian base with armed drones
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/article/update-militants-allegedly-attack-russian-base-with-armed-drones/
“Earlier tonight, a source in Latakia informed Al-Masdar News that the Russian military activated their air defense alarms at the Hmaymim Airport near the port-city of Jableh.
According to the source, the Russian military allegedly shot down a number of armed drones that belonged to the militant forces.
The source stated that the militant attack was repelled by the Russian military; however, he could not confirm whether or not any of the drones hit their intended target at the airport.
This is believed to be the first attack by the militant forces on the Hmaymim Airport since early Spring 2018.
The first armed drone attack that was carried out by the militants on the Hmaymim Airport took place at the end of 2017.”
Terrorist Resupply Routes to Daraa City & Eastern Daraa Cut Off.
“… the SE side of the remaining East Daraa pocket (it is a pocket now since the SAA took a hill south of Daraa city and got fire control on the last road between west and east Daraa, the terrorists have to use Jordan for crossing and they are blocked by now.
http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=32.503971&lon=36.405258&z=11&m=b&gz=0;362401199;323695229;2022171;2658043;0;1277883;1881408;142076;2495956;0;3069305;1098335;2746582;1932060;2300262;2649369;2022171;2663825
The negotiations in Borsa al Sham that was well advanced 24 hrs ago, is in its 3rd attempt, back and forth continues and a group of Russians from the Reconciliation team was almost ambushed late Saturday. As an incentive to the the resisting terrorists, the RuAF and SAAF are now delivering some bombs in their heads so they either surrender or die.
The latest news points to the Tiger Forces at Um Mayatheen village, very close to Nassib village and the border crossing, the villages near the border crossing asked for the reconciliation but the terrorists in Daraa city are raiding all these villages hunting down what they consider collaborators, but with the Tiger Forces occupying now a position near the southern part of the Daraa city, the terrorists may disengage and feel less tempted to terrorize the civilians.
On western Daraa, there is an intense battle going on at the red triangle below:
http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=32.732419&lon=36.092148&z=11&m=b&gz=0;360135269;327448362;157928;571570;0;0;501251;317584;171661;594656
Basically, the SAA has cut off completely the supply line for the terrorists in Quneytra and northern Daraa Province to the city of Daraa and eastern Daraa. The battle here has a mix bag of al Qaeda and ISIS fighting side by side against the SAA.
The cities of Tafas, Yadudeh, Muzayrib and Tal Shihab are in talks to the reconciliation team,it seems with the roads completely cut off the civilians are now very concerned they will be at the mercy of ISIS not far away, this is a good incentive for them all to embrace the SAA.
The hottest frontline at the moment is south/SE of Nawa city, the 2nd largest town in Daraa Province near army brigade 112, but the terrorists position in Tel Harfouch are keeping the SAA tanks and armoured vehicles at bay for while, air attacks are on going to soften the defenses up.” (Canthama)

Iranian Military Reports Mystery US Ship With Chemicals Onboard in Persian Gulf
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201807011065947480-us-chemical-ship-in-persian-gulf-reports/
“Checking the records of the US cargo vessel MV Cape Ray revealed that the vessel had been present in the coasts near Iraq and Syria, where the Americans had launched a military aggression under the pretext of the use of chemical weapons by those countries,” Shekarchi said, according to Mehr News.
According to the officer, the cargo ship entered the Gulf with the aim of deploying its chemical cargo in Iraq and Syria. Shekarchi accused Washington of resorting to “dangerous methods” to “justify their illegitimate presence” in the region.
“We have more accurate details about the US vessel, such as the number of crew members and the chemicals cargo in their possession, [which] will be disclosed to the public in the future,” Shekarchi promised.
It’s not immediately clear what the officer meant with his statement of US military aggression under a pretext of chemical weapons use, and whether he meant the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, or the more recent alleged chemical attack in Douma, Syria, which Damascus, Moscow and Tehran have called a false flag operation to justify the Western airstrikes against Syria in April.”
Perhaps he meant both? In the context of these sorts of false flags is standard operating procedure for israel and their colonial quislings.
SE Daraa Liberated, Nassib Border Crossing Next.
“The whole SE of Daraa embraced the reconciliation, every single village, finally.

It is a matter of time for the Syrian flag to fly high in Nassib border Crossing.
Very intense fight over the old border crossing, The RGs are attempting to surround al Qaeda terrorists inside Daraa city and isolate them there for late kill.

Western Daraa.
Sheikh Saad was liberated, placing the RGs now facing directly ISIS pocket in Daraa for the 1st time.
The pocket around Tafas city is tending to embrace ISIS, the terrorists in Tafas have pledged allegiance to ISIS few hours ago, it is still unclear how the civilians may react to that.” (Canthama)
