120 ISIS members have been killed and 10 units of military hardware destroyed, by the Syrian army in the recent clashes near the Tyas Airbase west of Palmyra, according to pro-government sources. The main clashes took place near the village of Sharifah where ISIS continued attempts to pressure government forces in order to cut off supply lines to the Tyas Airbase.
Earlier in January, reports appeared that ISIS units are withdrawing from the area of the Tyas Airbase. Now, it’s clear that this move was a maneuver aimed to regroup and prepare for further offensive operations.
The Syrian army also repelled an ISIS advance on the Kuweires Airbase from the direction of the Deir Hafer in the province of Aleppo. Pro-government sources say that about 40 ISIS members were killed and 5 vehicles destroyed in the clashes. Pro-ISIS outlets say that ‘scores’ of regime forces were also destroyed.
Both Syrian government forces and militant groups (mostly Jabhat Fatah al-Sham and Ahrar al-Sham) have continued active military operations against each other in the area of Wadi Barada, located northwest of Damascus.
On January 5, the Syrian army, the National Defense Forces and Hezbollah, supported by warplanes and artillery units, advanced on positions belonging to militant groups in Ayn Fijah, Ayn Khadra and Baseema. About 55 terrorists were killed, mostly as result of artillery strikes. On January 6, government forces continued to develop the momentum in these directions. Pro-militant sources continued to blame government forces for intense military strikes in the area, de-facto defending Jabhat Fatah al-Sham terrorists.
Ayn Khadra and Baseema are de-facto contested villages between pro-government forces and Jabhat Fatah al-Sham-led militant groups. Earlier in January, the Syrian army also entered Ayn Fijah, but failed to take a full control over the area.
On January 5, the Kurdish YPG, supported by US-led coalition warplanes and military advisers, repelled an ISIS counter-offensive in the area of Jabar in the province of Raqqah. Pro-YPG sources claim that 49 ISIS members were killed in the clashes.
Meanwhile, 850 conscripts reportedly joined the so-called “Self-Defense Forces of Rojava” (HXP) for 45-days training. The commander-in-chief of HXP is Renas Roza, who was the YPG commander in Ras al-Ayn. HXP’s main task is to garrison local areas seized by YPG units.

TAF are not doing well. Meanwhile SDF are doing well in their Raqqah offensive.
Fine, but I think that way of kind of comparing must stop. Kurds are the small ones and therefore make smaller victories.
Therefore I will in this write, that Turks are complete minus.
They overestimate themselves having a lousy logistic as well as not troops to it. They have areas, which still is not under control – Azas is a terrible version of it.
And how are the FSA troops met, if they are involved in it. Whats the plans. Im sure many of them are traumatized and therefore has short fuses and should rest or be in the frontline right away.
That is correct. SDF makes the small victories like taking Manbij, 150.000 inhabitants, with maybe 3.000 fighters and Turkey makes the big victories like not even entering Al Bab, 100.000 inhabitants, with almost 10.000 troops.
For any military group within US held area to conscript 850 shows just how strong the Kurds have formed a governing structure
.They have no national currency, banking system. Other than that done through US financial administrators, a system that now extends throughout their controlled villages.
THEIR have 5 major municipalities. Education, rebuilding, energy , military, transportation on a regional Republic but also within each major city and provinces set in place bureaucracies
No national unity government can hold a nation together without outside
It is fine to talk of patriotism and nationalism but fighters and all the supporting supply and administrative people’s need money in order to support themselves and familys.
