Turkish-Backed Militants Are Preparing To Attack Kurdish Forces In Manbij – Report

Turkey has ordered its proxies in northern Syria to prepare for a possible military operation to capture the strategic city of Manbij, which is held by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Syrian journalist Hadi al-Abdullah reported on July 19.

“Turkey has asked the Syrian National Army (NSA) factions to prepare for a possible military operation in the city of Manbij … Turkey also sent special reconnaissance forces to areas near the city of Tell Abyad in the governorate of Raqqa in northeastern Syria,” al-Abdullah wrote on his blog.

The journalist, who is known for his pro-opposition views and his good relations with Turkish-backed factions, said that Turkey informed NSA commanders of the new plans during a high-level meeting that was held on July 16.

Ankara asked its proxies to provide lists of fighters who are ready to participate in any military operation in Manbij and ordered them to begin their preparations.

U.S, Russian and French forces as well as many units of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) are currently deployed in Manbij to support the SDF.
Turkey planned to capture Manbij several times in the last two years. However, the complex situation there prevented Ankara from taking action before. This could happen again this time as all foreign forces and the SAA are still in their positions around the town.

21.07.2019 / Video
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) uncovered several weapons caches during recent search operations in the countryside of the southern governorate of al-Quneitra, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on July 21.

The weapons caches included four 3UBK10M 100mm rounds armed with 9M117M anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). The SAA armed its upgraded T-55AMV battle tanks with these advanced rounds. This explains their origin.

The 9M117M, known as Bastion, is guided by laser-beam riding. The ATGM has a maximum range of 4,000m and the ability to penetrate more than 600mm of rolled homogeneous armour (RHA).

Besides the four 9M117M rounds, the weapons caches contained mortar rounds, rocket-propelled grenades as well as ammunition of different calibers. Israeli medical supplies were also uncovered by the army.

U.S. Is Building New Large Base With Airstrip In Northwestern Syria

The US-led coalition is building a new large base with an airstrip near the northern Syrian town of al-Darbasiyah next...

southfront.org

25.07.2019
The US-led coalition is building a new large base with an airstrip near the northern Syrian town of al-Darbasiyah next to the Turkish border.
ANF News, a Kurdish outlet, said that the locals in al-Darbasiyah are observing an increasing number of trucks loaded with building materials heading to the base site. Major infrastructures are reportedly being built there.

“The establishment of the military base south of al-Darbasiyah by the coalition comes to confirm the plan of a long-term deployment of international forces in northeastern Syria,” ANF quoted military sources in the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as saying.

Observers on Twitter had released satellite images showing the ongoing construction of the new US-led coalition base.


A delegation of the US-led coalition, accompanied by SDF commanders, inspected the Tabqa airbase in Raqqa, last month. Back then, opposition sources said that the coalition is planning to deploy troops and helicopters there.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump backed down from his decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria. These new reports suggest that the U.S. is now working to step up its military presence in the war-torn country.

Large-Scale ISIS Attack In Southern Deir Ezzor. Multiple Syrian Soldiers Killed And Injured

Map / 28.07.2019
ISIS fighters launched on July 27 a large-scale attack on several positions of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) west of the city of al-Mayadin in southern Deir Ezzor.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that eight Syrian service members were killed and twenty-three others were injured in the attack. The terrorist group also lost four of its fighters.

“The clashes between the two sides lasted for hours, warplanes helped repel the attack by carrying out airstrikes on the clashes’ axis, this plus intense rocket strikes forced the group [ISIS] to withdraw in the end,” the monitoring group’s report reads.

Despite the suffered casualties, the SAA was able to repel the attack, preventing the terrorist group from re-establishing a foothold in the Middle Euphrates River Valley.

The failed attack was likely launched from the Homs desert, which lays between western Deir Ezzor and eastern Homs. Hundreds of ISIS fighters and commanders are reportedly hiding there.
