Tribal fighters backed by the United States launched an attack against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies in the eastern governorate of Deir Ezzor on December 3 as al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) escalated its attack in the northern part of the country.
The attack in Deir Ezzor targeted the only seven towns under the control of the Syrian government on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.
The Deir Ezzor Military Council of the Syrian Democratic Forces said that the attack was launched in response to calls from locals in the towns and to counter the growing threat of ISIS. However, these remain mere claims and the main reason is to secure U.S. bases located in the nearby Conoco gas plant and al-Omar oil fields.
While the council said that its fighters entered the towns of Salihiyya, Tabiyya, Hatla, Hasham, Marrat, Mazlum and Husayniyya, heavy clashes are reportedly still ongoing in the region.
The U.S.-led coalition provided the tribal fighters with close air support, according to video footage posted to social networks.
The surprise attack in Deir Ezzor came amid an escalation by HTS and its allies in northern Syria. The militants renewed their attacks on the SAA in the northern Hama countryside in the framework of the so-called Operation Deterrence of Aggression, which began last week.
The militants stormed several towns, including Qalaat Al-Madiq, Suran, Halfaya and Maardis. However, they failed to break through the main defense line of the SAA.
Meanwhile in the eastern countryside of Hama, the SAA is reportedly advancing. The army is said to have recaptured the key town of Ithriyah as a part of a plan to reach the town of al-Safira in the southern Aleppo countryside where thousands of civilians and military personnel are besieged by the militants.
The Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria said late on December 2 that over a hundred militants of HTS and its allies were killed by Russian and Syrian strikes within the last 24 hours.
Overall, the situation in Syria remains complicated, with all sides attempting to take advantage of the HTS-led offensive in the north. The main beneficiaries are, however, not the militants themselves, but rather Turkey, the U.S. and Israel.

the americans and russians must get out of syria at the end of all this. as long as these two terrorist countries are there, there will never be peace.
and that’s really it, both are a problem, they share syria, the usa steals oil, russia protects israel
many down votes from people who can’t accept reality.
people like to imagine utopian things, reality hurts, if you tell them poutine walks on water, they will believe it, they like fairy tales
s-300 shut down erdogan and biden and natayahu kills every minute when theirneed blood.
the quickest way is to defeat the jews (easier to finish them than the dysfunctional c*unts))• the two are jointly chasing the wet dream greater israel (the jews take all middle east and the c*nts all the oil) but iran has been in the way for the jews and thus the continuous threats from the jews against iran. however the greater israel wet dream will never become reality but the formula for the complete end of the jews are in place!
the jews can’t allow the wet dream war to end and thus jumps at the low hanging goodies that is syria. when the jews turn away iranian airplanes over syria russia could/should take over the flights to lebanon and elsewhere!
you sound turkish but you aren’t. and it is turkey who give the terrorists heavy battle equipment with which they behead civillians. including tanks that can only come from turkey.
so turkey is a israel slave!!!
and your name indicates a jewish affinity. so no wonder you (mossad spawn) don’t name israel as main terrorist and turkey as its stooge.
turkey,usa, russia paid so much money dont talk stupidly moron turkey. no one pays for nothing.
best fix is
turkey , free and gets north syria
russia , free and gets west syria
usa, free and gets east syria
israil free and gets south syria
free syria, gets middle syria
its time turkey start offensive and free aleppo, idlip same as russia made in ukraina and join these cities to turkey main land. these cities,are ex ottoman cities.
the warthogs would not fly without the deep zionist state’s puppet biden’s approval
sure.
but why can a big slow a10 fly in only 300 feet hight while hundrets of saa zsu23, igla and strela manpads do what?
russia and usa are occupied countries, under israel control. otherwise they will never enter these shithole countries and will leave muslim psychopaths to exterminate each other until last one.
oy vey. cool it with the antisemitism.
the current battles cannot be ended with fake negotiations again. all areas have come under control of the central government or it is waiting for the next escalation🙈
assad can have deir azor, not worth a single drop of kurdish blood. isis is long gone so no justification for being there any longer. our forced are needed up in the north. these are local arabs (as u can hear in the video) being used to counter iran.
nope. this attack is done by ypg/pkk orders. who do you think are in command positions in there.. sunni arabs?? not one sunni arab is even corporal. ypg/pkk announced this attack yesterday officially. that is how i told you beforehand, remember?
so arabs fighting for the pkk? in the video they are clearly talking arabic, these are not kurds. that region is not considered part of our homeland and i dont agree with kurds being there. let the arabs figure it out for themselves. attacking assad while we are both being attacked doesn’t make any sense to me. its only serves american intrest.
there are arabs fighting for pkk, kurds fighting for isis (3000) and hts. there are both kurds and sunni arabs in syrian army.
if it was arabs fighting without concent, pkk would kick them out and us fighter jets would not bomb assad forces in the area. there would be official announcement “it was not us.” have you heard one? if you did not, ypg/pkk is the attacker.
terrorists killing each other. nice to watch.
backstabbing turks kurds all turds. so much for them freeing palestine. it is more like freeing israhell from axis of resistance. hopefully the iraqis and the iranians will soon start doing the work. i hope the russians drones are flying 24/7 and destroying every move of those terrorists
the assault came after hezbollah left palestine and gaza for themselves. not before.
remember when trump said. we got the oil the oil is secured. thats the region he meant.
even if the kusham pocket & hama fall is irrelevant. as long as russia keep their naval, air bases in syria & the axis of resistance hold abukamal & the roads from iraq to damascus, all efforts & advances so far by the zionists & their terrorist puppets will be in vain. qaeda-hts wont get to khmeimim airbase & the sdf wont cross the euphrates & cut the abukamal-deir ezzor & other desert roads from iraq to damascus. hehehe. gringos are looosers
fuck off, beaner.
hey loser you wont be able cut the landbridge from iran through iraq,syria & into lebanon nor get russia out of khmeinin airbase. more importantly putin will win bigly & dictate terms of surrender to ukraine-us-uk-france-germany & nato. those terms are as follows: russia keeps all the ukrainian land they conquered, its vast & valuable energy, mineral, industrial & agricultural resources. also ukraine will never join nato. capish
actually hts is on the way to cut roads from iraq to syria. they are going to take ithriya today, or tomorrow and are heading for sukhna.
of course, the fertile-crescent does not need: usa, uk, turkish, fr. rep. nor pushy zionist-fascist: israels. where are the ‘anti-oil and anti-aggression’ pacts going if not into imperialism is monopoly. they should be democracy and diplomacy not imf and who. whether or not turks sign payments on retribution to armenians, and usa signs retributions to kurds–may help analyzing…
a dead turd is a good kurd
erdogan is biden ,macron ,boris and all european dog.his own brother get killed every day in palistine gaza but he only threaten without action.but muslim rabs erdogan kills fast just to please usa/nato.
it begins:
trump has leaked it: usa has assembled its war machinery an will soon attack whole the region without batting an eyelid.
they don’t hide anymore that they sync with the terrorists and support them by any means. they involving now directly.
the only way is to fight usa out of this region and never hold back.
its time turkey start offensive and free aleppo, idlip and join these cities to turkey main land.
turkey , free north syria
russia , free west syria
usa, free east syria
israil free south syria
free syria, middle syria
