>>39746 /sg/ basically discusses events, politics, tactics, strategy, and people involved with Syria. The reason it's a general is because the war is the most active one in the world right now. New happenings every day. It's always changing, which helps prevent the circlejerking. /sg/ anons contribute to the threads with updates on the war, map updates like >>39738, and general insights into Syria.

I am new to this. Re: the map. I assume: Red: the "good" guys as they are the legitimate leaders. Grey: ISIS, bad guys. Green: rebels + West, invaders/rebels Yellow, Kurds, invaders? homeless?
>>40033 Somewhat-somewhat, ku*rds are despised here because: - they are land grabbing - they are minority - communist & feminist ideology - trecherous - wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_al-Hasakah_(2016) - they first fought with SAA against ISIS in there in 2015 - they want to part Syria, even tho it is unitary state They will either bend the knee to Assad, or shall be destroyed by him along with Erdogan - coz there is nothing more that he hates than idea of free Kurdistan next to his borders. It is simpified tho, kurds from the Afrin canton - western part of yellow territory, by the turkish border, are on much better terms with government and never chimp out, we shall see how it will go.
Also, big fuckin huge news. Macarone - the french cuck said, that: >PRESIDENT MACRON OF FRANCE: THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE SUBSTITUTE FOR PRESIDENT BASHAR AL ASSAD AND FRANCE WILL NOT PURSUE HIS DEPARTURE ANYMORE
>>40065 Might be, as far as I know there are no more big players left in the ((((coalition)))). There is Germany or UK, but I guess mommy Merkel is too busy with domestic affairs, same for bongs. All Syria and Russia have to do, along with Iran is to secure border with Iraq, get to Euphrate and come up with ku*ds solution. Then USA can bug off.
>>40071 I wonder who might be behind this. Btw, posting some /mlpol/ related stuff and even few EqG in /sg/, stayed till the end, no b&. Same for the users that raided some shill thread with pony stuff, weird. Are mods on vacations?
>>40107 from 8/po/ Could be retaliation by ISIS for this mass protest. https://archive.is/Lf8bX >20 Million Muslims March Against ISIS and The Mainstream Media Completely Ignores It >In one of the largest organized marches in the history of the world, tens of millions of Shia Muslims made an incredibly heartening statement, by risking their lives to travel through war-stricken areas to openly defy ISIS. This massive event that would have undoubtedly helped to ease tensions in the West was almost entirely ignored by corporate media. >Women, men, elderly, and children made their way to the city of Karbala on Sunday and Monday last week for the holy day of Arbaeen. Arbaeen is the event which marks the end of the 40-day mourning period following Ashura, the religious ritual that commemorates the death of the Prophet Mohammad’s grandson Imam Hussein in 680 AD. >As the Independent reports, massive crowds paid homage to the shrines of Imam Hussein and his half-brother Abbas in Karbala, where they were killed in a revolt against the Umayyad ruler Yazeed in the 7th century AD when they refused to pledge allegiance to Yazeed’s Umayyad caliphate. >Registering only as a blip on the Independent, this most amazing feat was conducted in spite of ISIS, as well as the sacred annual pilgrimage. >As the UK paper notes, the march comes as nearly 80 people, many of them pilgrims returning from commemorating Arbaeen in Karbala, were killed in the latest Isis attack in the area. >Isis has declared Shia Muslims apostates and targeted them in its bloody campaign to establish a hardline caliphate across Iraq and Syria, according to the Independent. >The brave men, women, and children marched on, knowing that an ISIS suicide bomber had just struck near Karbala the week prior. >In recent years, this march has taken on a dual purpose. Where it was once a march for Arbaeen, it now also encompasses the Shia resistance and protest against ISIS terrorists. TL;DR version - Shia Muslims got uppity en masse, ISIS Muslims retaliated directly. The whole thing about mainstream media not caring is just progressive twaddle trying to spin the idea that Islam isn't the enemy, ISIS is the enemy.
>>40652 Hey, things can change. I'm still in hope that Russia and USA can stop the stupid cold war that "ended" already. I want peace in the middle east, us withdrawing to focus on our own. Assad is the only one who could bridge that gap imo.
>>40822 new name color that I don't think I've ever seen, hello mister system operator! also, I believe that syria general is one of the exceptions to the "no generals" rule according to the higher-ups that have spoke on it.
>>40822 Happening updates are certainly desirable: it was on the pretext that the situation would change every day that the exception was made for this general to stay on the board.
It is alot easier for them to keep track of their mapping/general habbenings with the general thread instead of letting one die as another habbening occurs. Also, as an Anonartfag, it is alot easier to make them OC here to help them feel more welcome.
For now the general should remain imo because it will fade away on its own, either by the war ending or by purge
More news from the front lines. In the south, next to Iraq border SAA advances on the T2 airbase, distance left to it is only 12 Km (7mi 803.3595yd). Seems like Deir ez-Zor will be liberated from south axis of front. I wonder what SAA is using that they are so effective, battle camels?
Ain't no ally to the rebels like Israel. Retaliatino strike for supposed shelling of Golan Heights by SAA. Israel destroys 2 tanks in reutrn, funny thing rebels have launched their offensive too. What a (((coincedence))). Fuckin kikes.
>>40902 What's (((their))) end game? Why are they so intent on slowing down this war? Are they trying to turn it around, or do they have (((ulterior))) motives?
>>40905 It's just they want to destabilize Syria more and more so it won't be able to establish better connection with Iran, because kikes are afraid of "Shia fullmoon" - coalition of Iran-Iraq-Syria-Lebanon, plus they think that rebels can be contained, at least they think so…
>>40907 >kikes are afraid of "Shia fullmoon" - coalition of Iran-Iraq-Syria-Lebanon I'm a bit new to this. Why are they so afraid of the Shias? They're the minority after all. Does it have to do with the fact that the Saudis control most of the Sunnis?
>>40930 >>40909 Certain Muslim families and powerful Jewish families have been in collusion for a very long time. This is nothing new. They are simply united against a common enemy. You should go read about the Jew's "Golden Age", where they developed their modern practices of usury, infiltration, and bribery. All of this was done under Muslim rule.
>>40983 I don't have access to my hard drive with all of my good soyrces at the moment, so I can't link you anything directly. It was during the Muslim invasion/occupation of Hispania, so any non-pozzed, original texts from that time would be a good start. It's usually best to try and find first-hand sources, especially regarding Jews, rather than water-downed sources from historians that try to insert their own ideology, or gloss over events that paint certain groups in a negative light. European historians/philosophers tended to be very genuine and called shit how they saw it. If kikes were meddling, they called that shit out right away. Reading Martin Luther's "The Jews and their Lies" is actually one of the first things that redpilled me when I was 13 or 14.
B& from 4chin for shitposting. The one day I shitpost I get b&. Luckily /our/ mlpole made this little home so I can fuel my autism. I have posted here a few times before so I am not just coming here for that reason, but I guess I will post here more than normal.

>>41594 Slow gains from the SAA, but gains nonetheless. SAA and the Iraqi PMU militia met up last month on the Syrian/Iraqi border, the Syrians had to bypass the American coalition in Tanf, but the border is now secure. The siege in Dez is still ongoing, but the SAA has been pounding ISIS positions steadily, I expect that Dez is still several weeks out from being relieved but the troops in the besieged city are holding strong. In Raqqa the Kurdish YPG/SDF/US Spec OPs are still surrounding the city, they have left one small opening where some IS militants have been able to retreat through, but Russian airstrikes are hammering any convoys that attempt to escape. The SAA is still southwest of Raqqa, and due south of Tabqa, according to hohol maps. ISIS leader Al-Baghdadi has been reportedly killed by Russian airstrikes on May 28th, this claim is still being verified, keep in mind that this is one of several times he's been "killed" so don't believe it until you see it. Finally in Mosul, Iraq the old city is entirely surrounded, the Iraqis may have Mosul mostly cleared in 3 to 6 weeks, give or take.
>>41595 Keep in mind that Syria and Israel have been in a tepid but ongoing war for decades, so this is nothing new. I honestly lost count on how many times they have bombed Syrian Army positions in the last year since I have been following the Syrian war. They use the excuse that they are trying to keep Hezbollah in check as they continue to claim that Hez is stockpiling rockets on the border in preparation to launch missiles into Israel. Ironically though they never seem to directly his Hez, but the SAA instead, a few months back they even conducted airstrikes on the Damascus Airport, which is typical Israel military policy of destroying private civilian infrastructure, and then saying they did it because of "muh Hezbollah." Israel will do anything in their power to stop Assad, a stable Syria with a good relationship with Iran is detrimental to their interests.

>>42538 >Why are the Houthis /ourguys/? Houthis are just poor people who want the Saudis to leave them alone, they are vastly outnumbered and outgunned by the Saudi coalition but they haven't folded yet. Quite the opposite actually, they regularly BTFO Saudis with outdated Soviet 1980's equipment for the most part. Iran is helping them through Hezbollah to a certain extent but in a limited capacity because they still have to focus on Syria more. A few weeks back the Houthis shot down a Saudi F-16 fighter jet with a 1980's Soviet SCUD missile that they "modernized" so they could target the jet. Of the ones I know about they have shot down 3 or 4 F-16s in the last two years.
>>42536 >>42546 >Red - LNA - Libya National Army (some leftovers of Colonel's people, might be considered /ourguys/. This, they are as close to /ourguy/ status as we will get in Libya, their leader Haftar was a former subordinate to Colonel Gaddafi, who eventually fell out of his favor and left Libya to live in the US. He returned to Libya after Gaddafi was killed and has the backing of Putin and Lavrov. >Blue - Western backed militias, not any better than Syrian's FSA. Let them hang. These are the militias aligned with the United Nations backed GNA (Government of National Accord) these faggots are such cucks that when they sailed into the harbor in Tripoli they couldn't even get off the boat, and earned the nickname "The Frigate Council" by Libyan civilians. >Pink(ie pie) - local tribes - guess they are like "fuck off we do what we want". Allignment unknown. Basically just random warlords who control specific areas of the country, a lot of infighting and bad blood between these guys, but not much organization to speak of.
Here is a short article from the (((BBC))) that gives you a quick rundown on Haftar, the leader of the LNA

It's been actually really comfy today m8, barely any shilling at all compared to how it has been the last few weeks around this time. It is close to the time that all of the /ptg/ neets wake up and start shilling but so far all is good. I personally have baked 4 of the breads today and have been happy about the lack of shills in them.
>>42583 Beats me, in every other thread the quality of each post is lower than the next, even a shitpost in 4pol /sg/ is worth more than a well informed post in any other thread on /pol/. /ptg/ threads most of the time consist of 20 posts actually talking about politics, 20 people posting Pepes, and 260 dub checks, kekistan shadillay praising, or unintelligible blabber. >But yet those threads don't get b& posters.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:25 P.M.) – Minutes ago, the Israeli Air Force launched an airstrike over the Golan Heights region of Al-Quneitra, targeting the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) soldiers that were advancing near Al-Samdaniyah Al-Sharqiyah.
According to a military source from the Golani Regiment, the Israeli warplane targeted the advancing units of the Syrian Arab Army in the Golan Heights, following the massive counter-offensive the latter launched tonight.
No details were given regarding casualties.
So far, the Syrian Arab Army has managed to recapture all four points they have lost to the jihadist rebels in the last five days; they are now pushing deeper into the Al-Hamidiyah area, where they are hoping to expel the Al-Qaeda linked rebels once and for all.
BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:38 P.M.) – Moments ago, the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) 30th Division, led by the elite Republican Guards (which represents the striking core of the Aleppo-based formation), launched a surprise offensive against the last remaining ISIS bastion in Aleppo Governonate that is represented by a belt of fortified villages buried in a mountainous semi-desert landscape to the northeast of the strategic town of Khanasser.
So far the SAA has managed to liberate 2 villages from ISIS. These settlements are Al-Sharimah and Al-Atshanah. In addition to this, two key hilltops have also been captured by the SAA. Some reports say that the village of Rasm Askr was also liberated, however, there is confusion over whether or not the settlement was already under pro-government control prior to the offensive.
In any case, this advance comes as the SAA has been trying to force ISIS to retreat from the Khanasser region whilst also leaving a safe route for terrorists to escape south across the Ethriyah-Raqqa highway. Whether ISIS has totally withdrawn from the area or not is now total irrelevant, for either by way of death in battle or retreat, ISIS has been marked for banishment from the province of Aleppo.
>>42643 Heey I am not that of an old fag. Still don't know who was the first Syrian to post in /sg/. >>42647 >tfw rebshits suck even with le-mighty jewsrael air support.
ISIS terrorist are on twitter and dont get deleted either. Remember, those are private companies funded by marxists, globalists and jews. They have no interest in freedom of speech. They are agenda pushers driving a narrative.
BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Hezbollah continued their march from the ancient city of Palmyra to Deir Ezzor City, Wednesday, targeting the Islamic State’s (ISIL) positions near the Arak Gas Fields.
Backed by Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Army and Hezbollah stormed the 10km area in eastern Homs this morning, inflicting heavy damage on the Islamic State’s defenses.
Unable to maintain ground in the 10km area, the Islamic State ultimately withdrew towards the Al-Hayl Gas Fields in order to avoid increasing their death toll.
The Syrian Arab Army is now attempting to advance at the eastern part of the Arak Gas Fields; this area has been difficult to capture due to ISIL’s stiff defenses.
BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:12 P.M.) – Video footage has been released of the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) elite Republican Guards conducting offensive operations in the area of Ayn Tarma against the combined forces of the Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) terrorist group and Faylaq Al-Rahman Islamist faction. >Good video on this link https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/video-syrian-army-overwhelms-rebels-sheer-firepower-east-ghouta/
The footage shows the Republican Guards deploying modern T-72 designs, decked out with various additional protection kits ranging from sandbags to reactive armour and cage armour, blasting away at rebel defences with high-explosive and shaped charge (HEAT) munitions. Moreover, the use of large-calibre mortars firing improvised, massive ordinance warheads with breathtaking suppression power is also shown in the video.
In recent days, the SAA has managed to advance against the rebel-held Jobar salient that juts into eastern Damascus and capture all of the Ayn Tarma Valley area. After repelling a noteworthy rebel counterattack on the valley area, the SAA has since advanced alongside highway bypass just south of Jobar in bid to cut all lines of supply that run into the district.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (1:20 A.M.) – Weapons produced in the Jewish nation were seized by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the city of Homs on Wednesday after security forces discovered secret ammunition stockpiles across the former rebel stronghold of Al-Waer, an outer suburb located on the northwestern perimeter of the provincial capital.
According to photos obtained by Al-Masdar News, the SAA captured dozens of anti-tanks missiles along with tons of ammunition and explosives which had been abandoned by evacuated Islamist insurgents. Some of the weapons bore Israeli inscriptions, an indication that Tel Aviv may have smuggled armaments to opposition forces in Homs.
Late last month, the last batch of rebel militants departed the Al-Waer neighborhood for Idlib, thus restoring all of Homs city under government control for the first time since 2011.
Syria and Israel still remain at a state of war following three major wars in the 20th century. Over the past week alone, the Israeli Air Force has conducted three separate raids on the SAA in the Golan Heights.
BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched a large-scale counter-offensive in the Golan Heights last night, targeting the jihadist rebel defenses at Al-Hamidiyah and Al-Samdaniyah Al-Gharbiyah.
Launching their assault from Al-Samdaniyah Al-Sharqiyah and Al-Ba’ath City, the Syrian Arab Army managed to recapture all of the points they lost to the jihadist rebels over the last six days, while also advancing west towards new areas that weren’t under their control.
However, in the middle of this attack, the Syrian Arab Army found themselves under by an Israeli warplane at the Al-Samdaniyah Al-Sharqiyah axis, forcing them to abandon their advance in order to avoid an increase in casualties.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson claimed their airstrike was in response to a random mortar shell that landed inside their occupied territory in the Golan Heights – Syrian Army denies responsibility.
The Israeli airstrike on Wednesday night marked the fourth time in six days that their warplanes have attacked the Syrian Arab Army in the Golan Heights – not a single attack targeted the jihadist rebels.
