The Bazreh area in eastern Damascus has been fully liberated from militants.
On Monday, the last batch of militants and their supporters left the area and Barzeh was taken under full control by government forces.
With the liberation of Bazreh, government forces made a large step in a wider effort aimed at securing the Damascus countryside from various terrorist threats.
According to some pro-government sources, the area of Jobar controlled mostly by Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS) terrorists, excluded from the ceasefire agreement, could become the next target for the Syrian army.
Meanwhile, the Syrian military has deployed the 4th Armoured Division and its special forces known as al-Ghaith Forces in Daraa aiming to repel the ongoing advance of HTS and its allies and to reverse their gains in the city.
In early May, HTS seized about 40 buildings northeast of the Al-Manshiyya district that had been also captured by militants.
In the province of Aleppo, the Syrian Army Tiger Forces have regained the villages of Hamedaia, Mestariha, Maza, Wasteh, and the nearby areas and advanced on the ISIS-held town of Maskanah from northern and western directions.
Government forces also continued advancing in the Maskanah countryside aiming to link up with army units deployed near Khanasser.
On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that France would launch an immediate strike in response to any use of chemical weapons in Syria. The French president made this statement following a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Macron also slammed the Russian state-run media outlets RT and Sputnik, labeling them as a “deceitful propaganda”. Earlier on Monday, Macron and his Russian counterpart met in the Palace of Versailles to discuss bilateral relations.
The Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) have reached the border with Syria in the western part of the province of Nineveh.
A prominent Iranian general,commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, was spotted among PMU units in the border area. This means that the PMU push to the border had likely been coordinated with Iran and Iranian-backed forces in Syria.
Much will depend upon on how the PMU reacts to the continued tensions between US-led forces and the Syrian military in the border area.
A spokesman of the PMU also announced that the group is ready to fight ISIS in Syria in coordination with the Damascus government.
Perhaps a day will come soon when a Macron threat to bomb Syria is turned upside down and Syria threatens to bomb a lying scum politician in France for war mongering and lying about chemical weapons attacks. What kind of nonsense is this with Macron a despicable little weasel whose face reminds of Inspector Jacques Clouseau of the Surety and who seems oblivious to the problems France faces that if ignored will be very costly in lives and property damage. Electing such nitwits will be the downfall of France and should Macron impose more sanctions on Russia it will only make the French economy much sicker until the inevitable rising up of French workers to take back their country. France has a rich tradition of such actions and history has a way of repeating itself but with new outcomes.
Yes you are right.
Macron was created and slotted in because he will stick 100% to the globalist bankers’ script.
He has no independent thoughts or policies of his own. If he had had such “independent” ideas he would not have been selected.
I suspect he made the idiotic remarks about RT and Sputnik because he was worried that if the meeting with Putin went well he would be in breach of his orders, ie to be hostile to Russia whatever it takes, is imperative Just find something for godsake. Make it up if you have to.
He is the French version of Merkel who is exactly the same. I call them mackerel. But In fact the whole EU gang look and act the same.
Look at them at G7.
This inability to think for themselves means that when the US President loses interest in them, in part because all he seems to offer is a protection racket, called NATO inc. created to peddle fear and extort money which they don’t want to pay, they are thrust into a state of panic and absolutely do not know what to do.
“We’re going to have to think for ourselves” said Mrs Mackerel near to tears it seemed to me.
Think for themselves ?
Think about the interests of their peoples?
Think critically about anything?
They lost those skills long ago if they ever even had them. They are not required to think for themselves but to simply do what they are told.
Now Trump doesn’t seem too keen on them and they are like puppets which have had their strings cut.
And these people are the leaders of major European countries ? Really?
And by the way Messrs mackerel and all, get ready to welcome the population of Ukraine coming to live among you with their new visa free travel and desperate wish to escape the Nazi death squads which you put in power.

Russian Defense Minister Informs Putin of Anti-Daesh Missile Strikes in Syria – Kremlin
It is noted that the strikes targeted militant hideouts east of Palmyra housing heavy equipment and militant manpower transferred from Raqqa, the Daesh stronghold in northern Syria.
“The Russian Navy’s Admiral Essen frigate and Krasnodar submarine performed a launch of four Kalibr cruise missiles from the eastern Mediterranean against the targets of the IS [Daesh] terrorist groups in the area of Palmyra,” the ministry said. “All targets have been struck.”

“The UK’s ‘Big Brother’ culture of surveillance and suspicion in combatting terrorism is “inherently flawed” and could be promoting extremism rather than combatting it, a UN report has found.
The report, which was drawn up before the May 22 suicide bombing in Manchester that killed 22 people, is highly critical of many policies overseen by Prime Minister Theresa May in her prior role as home secretary.

It comes just 10 days before a general election that polls say May could win with a narrow majority.
The report, written by Maina Kiai, who was the UN’s Special Rapporteur on freedom of peaceful assembly until last month, slammed the government’s ‘Prevent’ strategy, which aims to safeguard vulnerable individuals who are at risk of radicalization.
The strategy relies on intelligence coming from community leaders and schools.
“Overall, it appears that Prevent is having the opposite of its intended effect: by dividing, stigmatizing and alienating segments of the population. Prevent could end up promoting extremism, rather than countering it,” the UN report says.
The report also criticized Britain’s Investigatory Powers Act, introduced last year, as “intrusive … bound to have a detrimental impact on the legitimate activities carried out by civil society and political activists.”
“The specter of ‘Big Brother’ is so large, in fact, that some families are reportedly afraid of even discussing the negative effects of terrorism in their own homes, fearing that their children would talk about it at school and have their intentions misconstrued.”

note that UK has been supporting various peoples/militants against Libyan and Syrian legitimate regimes in order to undermine them, so could such policies actually be helpful or at worst case even deliberate to the various agencies involved in this in order to discover and develop/promote such persons as their agents?
Zion has lost the Syrian heartland. Regrettable and infuriating as this is, Zion can live with it for the time being.
More worrisome is the fast advance of the SAA towards the Jordanian and Iraqi borders where Zion’s oil wells are located. This is outrageous and utterly unacceptable. Will Micron be forced to commit some folly in this region in a kind of Masonic hazing ritual?
But worst of all is the magnificent corporation between Syria, Russia, Iran, Hezbollah and as it more and more emerges, Iraq. Not good, not good. What actions does Zbig suggest to remedy this calamity? What, he has died? What an ungrateful bastard!
Russia, as usual, is aware of all of the above and has signaled to the bullies with a handful of Khalibrs to keep it cool. But will they?
