What is going on in Syria?
Situation for April 1-8, 2023
🔻Israeli attacks on Syria
▪️Last week, the Israeli Air Force continued to attack (https://t.me/rybar/45400) the territory of Syria - on the night of April 1-2, several objects in the province of Homs, including the T4 and Ash-Shayrat air bases, were hit.
▪️A day later, the Israelis once again shelled (https://t.me/rybar/45449) the suburbs of Damascus, the city of Al-Kiswa, as well as an object in the Tell al-Sahn area.
▪️Israeli media and affiliated sources again named Iranian military facilities in Syria as the targets of the attack.
It is noteworthy that Iran has officially recognized (https://t.me/rybar/45400) the death in Damascus of the second military adviser of the IRGC, Mikdad Mekhani. Shortly before this, Milad Haidari was declared dead.
▪️A few hours ago, local sources reported the launch of three missiles from the territory of the SAR, one of which reached Israel.
Israeli artillerymen responded by attacking Syria from positions on the Golan Heights.
▪️Most likely, the Israelis would continue their unilateral attacks on Syrian territory further, distracting the population from internal problems of the "Iranian threat" allegedly emanating from the SAR. However, after the brutal assault on the Al-Aqsa mosque by the Israeli security forces in Jerusalem, they were overtaken by more serious problems (https://t.me/rybar/45582).
However, the aggravation (https://t.me/rybar/45563) of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and shelling from the territory of Gaza and Lebanon will distract Israeli citizens from the failures (https://t.me/rybar/45189) of the ultra-right government of Netanyahu in domestic policy is much more effective than the attacks on Syrian territory that have set the teeth on edge.
And after the end of the escalation, the bombing of the SAR by the Israelis will inevitably continue (https://t.me/rybar/43179).
🔻Fighting
▪️The American command reported on the liquidation (https://t.me/rybar/45454) of one of the leaders of the IS Khalid Ayad Ahmad al Jabouri.
At the same time, it is very likely that the field commander was liquidated not by IS, but by Khurras al-Din, an al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria. The description of the circumstances of the death of the latter is similar to the stated description of the American special operation.
▪️Later, in Idlib, one of the leaders of the Liva Mukhajirin Val-Ansar terrorists, a native of Chechnya, Abdullah ash-Shishani, known as Abdullah Askari, was killed.
▪️In the city of Aazaz, clashes broke out between different groups of Turkish-controlled militants of the Syrian National Army. After the intervention of local "security services", the conflict was extinguished.
▪️In the city of Daraa, unknown persons killed two commanders of the Syrian military security forces, Ammar al-Kabuni and Wasim al-Zarkan.
▪️ISIS terrorists have once again carried out several attacks on civilians and government troops in the desert northeast of the city of Es-Sukhnah, killing more than 15 people.
🔻Diplomatic background
▪️A quadripartite meeting of the Deputy Foreign Ministers of Russia, Syria, Iran and Turkey on the Syrian settlement was held in Moscow.
On it, representatives of the SAR again demanded the withdrawal of Turkish troops from the republic.
▪️In addition, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced a new high-level meeting in the Russian capital. He also noted that the differences between Syria and Turkey cannot be resolved in one meeting, but work is underway in this direction.
The Republic of Turkey was also visited by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, where, among other things, he discussed the Syrian issue.
▪️Against this background, Western media leaked information about Saudi Arabia's intention to invite -2023-04-02/) Bashar al-Assad to the Arab League summit in Riyadh, taking another step towards ending the isolation of Syria in the region.
▪️At the same time, the Syrian Foreign Minister visited (https://www.wsj.com/articles/egypt-syria-in-advanced-talks-to-restore-diplomatic-relations-e569dfae) Egypt, where the parties discussed the restoration of diplomatic relations and a meeting between the leaders of the two countries.
▪️This is happening against the backdrop of the reconciliation (https://t.me/rybar/45569) of Iran and Saudi Arabia mediated by China.
Somewhat later, a quadripartite meeting of the ambassadors of Syria, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia was held in Oman (https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20230404-saudi-iran-syria-envoys-meet-in-oman/).
▪️In addition, contacts are being actively restored (https://www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/algerian-president-discusses-syrian-developments-with-al-assad/2862613) of the SAR with Algeria and Tunisia.
