The Yemeni Armed Forces successfully thwarted an American-British attack on the country, shooting down an F-18, forcing the USS Harry Truman to withdraw, and warning of further action to defend Yemen and support Palestine. | The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced a significant victory in repelling an American-British attack against the country, which was reportedly orchestrated to support the oppression of the Palestinian people and in retaliation for the ongoing support front that the Yemeni people have launched after October 7. ● According to a statement from the Yemeni military, an operation was carried out with eight cruise missiles and 17 drones. The operation led to several key outcomes:

First, the Yemeni forces successfully shot down an F-18 aircraft, while enemy destroyers attempted to confront the Yemeni drones and missiles launched against the aircraft carrier simultaneous to the US-UK aggression against the country. Second, the statement noted, most of the hostile aircraft retreated from Yemeni airspace to international waters in the Red Sea in an effort to defend the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman, which was being targeted. Third, the attack launched by the coalition on Yemeni territory failed, and the Yemeni Armed Forces marked a crucial defeat for the aggressors. Fourth, the USS Harry S. Truman, after being subjected to multiple attacks from the missile force, naval forces, and air force, withdrew from its previous location in the Red Sea towards the northern waters.

The F/A-18 was downed by the guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg over the Red Sea | The US Navy inadvertently shot down its own F/A-18 fighter jet in a friendly fire incident over the Red Sea, the Pentagon announced shortly after issuing a press release about another successful bombing raid against alleged Houthi targets in Yemen. ● The F/A-18 was shot down by the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg after taking off from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed early Sunday morning. The two Navy pilots were able to eject from the fighter jet and were recovered safely, although one sustained minor injuries. ● The incident occurred just as American and British aircraft conducted new bombing raids targeting alleged missile storage sites and command facilities in Sanaa to disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, according to a CENTCOM press release issued earlier on Saturday night.

"All international mechanisms need to be effectively employed in order to prevent Israel from exploiting the situation in Syria," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said

💬 "Israel has made a point of violating international law. The world was silent when it trampled on international law in Gaza. It also occupied territories in Lebanon, where blood was shed, and the world was silent once again. Today, Syria is the target of Israel’s recklessness," Erdogan pointed out, mentioning the 1967 United Nations Security Council Resolution 242. "The resolution condemns Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights and demands its withdrawal from the area. It’s important for the international community to take measures to implement the resolution," the Turkish president stated. "All international mechanisms need to be effectively employed in order to prevent Israel from exploiting the situation in Syria," Erdogan added.

■ Erdogan: Turkiye will assist Syria with state structure, constitution (Al Mayadeen)

Andrew Korybko | It remains to be seen whether America will once again come to their rescue or finally abandon them. | The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed senior US officials to report earlier this week that Turkiye is preparing for another conventional military intervention in Syria against the armed Kurds there. This was followed by the State Department revealing that the ceasefire between Turkiye and the US-backed but Kurdish-led “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) had been extended till the end of the week. ■ For background, the US has bases in SDF-held northeastern Syria, which is agriculturally and energy-rich.On that same day, the SDF’s Kurdish leader Mazloum Abdi proposed a US-supervised demilitarized zone (DMZ) in Ayn al-Arab/Kobani, which coincided with the terrorist-designated Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) military chief proclaiming that they reject federalism and won’t grant such to the Kurds. The first statement is meant to have the US once again save the Syrian Kurds’ autonomous project while the second clearly signals that it won’t be tolerated in the so-called “New Syria”.

This is what is now taking place inside Syria thanks to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Turkish President Recypt Tayyip Erdogan, jointly overthrowing President Bashar Assad of Syria. These are Christians and Alawites, murdered by Muslim fanatics, that both Israel and Turkeye' assisted in taking power in Syria. Jews and Muslims against Christians. NOW do you see who your true enemies really are? The time for a reckoning - worldwide - draws near.

The US, Israel, and Turkey have all been bombing Syria in the wake of the regime change that ousted Assad | US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Monday that its forces launched airstrikes in Syria, claiming the attacks targeted ISIS camps and killed 12 ISIS fighters. ● CENTCOM said in a press release that the strikes “were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, preventing the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek opportunities to reconstitute in central Syria.” ● It said the airstrikes were launched against targets in areas previously controlled by Russia and the previous government of Bashar al-Assad, who fled the country following the takeover of Damascus by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an offshoot of al-Qaeda. ● Since Assad’s downfall, the US, Turkey, and Israel have all been bombing Syria. On December 8, the day Assad fled, the US launched heavy airstrikes in Syria, saying it hit 75 ISIS-related targets.

However, the president recalls that it soon became clear that all forces had withdrawn, leaving the final defense line unprotected, while armed groups were simultaneously drone-striking the Hmeimim airbase, prompting Moscow to order an immediate evacuation the same day.

The most violent Israeli aggression on Syria, which targeted Tartus, on Monday at dawn, resulted in the killing and injury of civilians. | Israeli strikes in Tartus countryside caused massive explosions, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported early Monday, as the Israeli regime continues to target and destroy Syria's military capabilities. ● Several civilians were killed and injured in what has been described as the heaviest and most violent attacks on Syria since the onset of Israeli aggression. The intense bombardment on the city was so powerful that it caused an earthquake-like tremor, which residents could physically feel, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

[...] It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation has expanded its occupation of Syrian territory, taking over the entirety of the Golan region and nine towns in the southern countryside of Damascus, positioning its forces just 20 km away from the capital. The Israeli regime has also launched nearly 300 strikes on Syrian military assets, destroying the majority of the Syrian Air Force and air defenses, which remained inactive and unable to defend against the aggression.

In 2017, Moscow and Damascus agreed to station Russian troops at these bases for a period of 49 years.

A US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance drone was shot down in Syria earlier this week by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a US defense official has said. 💬 "The incident was a result of friendly fire from partner forces conducting operations in the region who misidentified the unmanned aircraft as a threat," the official told the Air & Space Forces Magazine. [...] "U.S. forces have recovered appropriate aircraft components and destroyed the remaining portions of the aircraft," the official said. "U.S. Air Forces Central is actively assessing the actions that led to the incident and will adjust tactics, techniques, and procedures to safeguard U.S., coalition, and partner forces and their associated assets."

These are moderates that run Syria now." You've just seen what the reality is; do they look like "moderates" to you? | America, Europe, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia et.al., the three brief videos below demonstrate what YOU have done, by overthrowing President Bashar Al-Assad of Syria. This is who YOU actually are...The HTS Terror group, whom each of the countries above supported, overthrew President Bashar al-Assad of Syria last weekend. Here are just _some_ of the initial results:

 ● Cousin of Bashar Assad HUNG publicly, by crane
 ● Average, everyday Syrians grabbed off the street by HTS, and Machine-gunned to death in public
 ● Wounded Syrian Soldiers, in a hospital, machine-gunned to death in their hospital beds
 ● SURRENDERING Syrian Soldiers, unarmed with hands-up, machine-gunned to death

■ This is just on day one of the new HTS "government" of Syria. Want to laugh? The British government is now fast-tracking the REMOVAL of HTS from the list of Terrorist organizations! That's how degenerate the British government has actually become. You folks in the UK must be so proud. After all, YOU elected these people! The videos above, are the results of your vote.

■ Similar moves are expected in the United States, lead by the US State Department which declared HTS an international terrorist organization, and even promoted a $10 Million Bounty on the head of the HTS Leader, Mohammad al-Jawlani, who the State Department NOW recognizes as the new "Leader" of Syria.

■ So the degeneracy is certainly not limited to the British government, we've got more than our share of degenerates working in the US Government, too. Oh, and they already know, that WE know they've turned over an entire country to these types of people, so our trusted government public servants, are now lying to our face as they tell us

Israeli tanks have reportedly broken out of the buffer zone adjacent to the illegally occupied Golan Heights, on the Syrian border and moved towards Damascus, although West Jerusalem has denied the claim. ● An unnamed Israeli security source told Israeli Army Radio that “more than 250 military targets were attacked in Syria,” describing the assault as “one of the largest attack operations in the history of… [the] air force.” The targets included “bases of Assad army, dozens of fighter jets, dozens of surface-to-air missile systems, production sites and warehouses… and surface-to-surface missiles.” ● The Jerusalem Post, citing Syrian security sources, has claimed that the airstrikes targeted the Qamishli airbase on the Turkish border, the Shinshar base near the Lebanese border, and the Aqaba airport southwest of Damascus. Other attacks have reportedly targeted a research center and a center for electronic warfare in the overall area of the Syrian capital. Al Mayadeen also claimed that Israel had attacked defense factories in the southern Aleppo countryside.

Bashar al-Assad is no longer the president of Syria after a shocking coup that has left the world wondering: What deal was made behind closed doors? As we wait for answers, Rebranded Al-Qaeda (HTS) has pledged to create a transitional government, and Israel is already ramping up strikes against the Syrian military and expanding its occupation of Syrian territory.

Kevork Almassian, Host of Syriana Analysis, noted that the end of the Syrian Government likely means the end of the "Axis of Resistance," as the new government that takes shape is expected to have the interests of the U.S., Israel and Turkey directly involved, which means cutting off the supply lines to Hezbollah and other groups that support the Palestinian resistance.

The Syrian Army command announced on Sunday that President Bashar Assad’s 24-year rule has come to an end, according to a Syrian officer who spoke to Reuters. The announcement follows a rapid offensive by jihadist forces in the capital. The jihadists claim that Damascus is “now free of Assad” and are expected to make their first public statement via state TV, Reuters reports, citing two anti-government sources.

Syrian troops, together with the Russian Aerospace Forces, launched massive strikes on terrorist positions and supply routes in the provinces of Homs and Hama, the Syrian Defense Ministry said. [...] Syrian forces carried out a redeployment from the cities of Suwayda and Daraa, creating a strong line of defense in these directions, ministry also noted earlier. [...] The terrorist group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham*, alongside other armed formations of the so-called Syrian opposition, launched a large-scale operation on November 29, advancing from northern Idlib toward the cities of Aleppo and Hama. By the following day, November 30, the terrorists had seized control of Syria’s second-largest city and its surroundings, including the international airport and the Kuweires military airfield.

[...] Contrast this to the UK media, which from the Telegraph and Express to the Guardian has promoted the official narrative that not just the same organisations, but the same people responsible for mass torture and executions of non-Sunnis, including Western journalists, are now cuddly liberals. ● Nowhere is this more obvious than the case of Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani, sometimes spelt Al-Julani or Al-Golani, who is now being boosted throughout western media as a moderate leader. He was the deputy leader of ISIS, and the CIA actually has a $10 million bounty on his head! Yes, that is the same CIA which is funding and equipping him and giving him air support.

Israel carried out ground and air military movements in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights in preparation for a possible invasion of southern Syria. | Jordan closed its only passenger and commercial border crossing with Syria, the interior ministry said on 6 December, citing security concerns amid the ongoing extremist invasion of Syria that began over a week ago. ● Jordan News Agency reported that all traffic through Jordan's Jaber crossing into Syrian territory will be banned. However, Jordanians and Jordanian vehicles will be permitted to return to the Kingdom's territory from the other side, Syria's Nassib Crossing. ● Armed extremist groups seeking to invade southern Syria announced on Friday the formation of a new operations room to coordinate a coming assault on Damascus. ● In a statement shared with CNN, the “Southern Operations Room” called on government forces to defect “from the Assad regime's criminal gang” and join the foreign-backed extremists.

The Prime Minster of Iraq, Mohammed al-Sudani has been authorized by the Iraq House of Representatives to take the decision to enter the Syria war. | Al-Sudani has already mobilized the Iraq army on the border with Syria. Now, at any moment, he may issue the Order to enter Syria in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Iraq does not want an ISIS-like caliphate on its border. Therefore if Iraq enters, it will want to help Assad. This is very understandable, especially given their previous experiences with ISIS. The stakes now, though, seem very much higher because of who is backing the HTS Terrorists. This is an unexpected eventuality.

Militants, linked to the Jabhat al-Nusra* group, attacked on November 27 the Syrian government-controlled territories in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib, deputy head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Sides in Syria Oleg Ignasyuk said on Thursday, adding that at least 400 militants were eliminated.

💬 "Since 7:50 [04:50 GMT], November 27, armed groups linked to Jabhat al-Nusra* attacked the Syrian government-controlled territories in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib. The Syrian Arab Army is engaged in fierce fighting and is supported by the Russian Aerospace Forces," Ignasyuk said.

The Syrian military has retaken a key highway near the northern city of Hama as well as all the towns and villages surrounding it, besides killing dozens more Takfiris trying to enable resurgence of terrorism in the Arab country’s northern areas. | On Monday, the forces seized back of the highway linking the cities of Mahardeh and Suqaylabiyah near Hama, and all its adjacent towns and villages, including Karnaz, Tal Malah, al-Jalamah, Jabbin, Hayalin, and Sheikh Hadid, Syrian media outlets reported. They also retook several other towns that had temporarily fallen under Takfiri control. ● Around 80 more terrorists, including prominent ringleaders of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) Takfiri terrorist group, were also eliminated during the forces’ operations on the outskirts of Hama as well as the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib, two other major northern cities. ● Earlier, Syria’s state television had said that around 320 terrorists had been killed in the countryside of the three cities as part of joint strikes carried out by the Arab country’s troops and their Russian allies. [...] Terrorist outfits and their Western allies launched a full-scale media campaign afterwards, trying to tarnish the Syrian military’s successful counterterrorism drive, including by reporting that the Syrian forces had withdrawn from Hama’s countryside. The Syrian military, however, dismissed the reports later, considering them to be part of a “media war” aimed at painting Damascus’ anti-terror struggle in a bad light.

Kit Klarenberg | That foreign actors are involved in sowing the current chaos in Syria couldn’t be more unambiguous, or writ larger. But there’s more. | On November 27th, ultra-extremist militants Hayat Tahrir al-Sham launched a vast offensive in Syria. Within days, the Turkey-backed faction seized significant swaths of Aleppo, the country’s second-largest city, and advances elsewhere continue. While disinformation on the scale and success of HTS’ incursions abounds on social media, establishment news outlets remain a redoubtable source of manipulation and deceit. No context to the current upsurge of violence is provided, although reference has been widely made to supposedly “peaceful” protests in 2011 that produced the decade-long Syrian civil war. ■ According to this narrative, righteous pro-democracy demonstrators were brutally attacked by Syrian authorities for taking a public stand against dictatorship. Yet, the reality of what happened during that fateful time is very different - and amply revealed by the Syrian government’s own internal documents. Namely, records of the Central Crisis Management Cell, created in March 2011 by Damascus to manage official responses to mass rioting that began weeks earlier.
