Syrian regime forces and their allies managed to capture on Thursday areas at the borders of Souweida province with Jordan, a movement considered as bypassing the west southern truce signed under a US-Russian-Jordanian patronage, including the countryside of Deraa.
“The Syrian regime-linked Team 15 in addition to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah have already reached the Syrian-Jordanian borders and controlled the areas of Bi’r Saboun-Tal Assada, reaching the entire Abu Sharshouh border crossing and border posts,” the German news agency quoted sources in the countryside of Souweida as saying.
Also, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Thursday that the advancement made by the Syrian regime forces and their allies has ended the presence of opposition factions at the Syrian-Jordanian border, inside the administrative borders of the Souweida province.
According to the Observatory, “with this advancement, the factions are now left with no external access in east and southeast of Syria, except for a border strip on the southeast border of the Damascus countryside with Jordan, in addition to a border strip with Iraq extending over the provinces of Damascus countryside and Homs, which includes al-Tanf border crossing between Syria and Iraq.”
Meanwhile, regime forces intensified their attacks on the Jobar neighborhood in Damascus and other areas in the Ghouta area using surface-to-surface missiles despite an agreement ratified last month in Cairo under an Egyptian-Russian brokerage to involve the city of Deraa.
The Observatory also spoke about regime forces airstrikes in the areas of al-Manasher, Zhahab, Taldo and Kfarlaha in addition to other areas in the Houla region.
“Warplanes targeted at least two villages in the Houla area causing material damage, without information about casualties, in the first such strike on the northern countryside of Homs since the Egyptian-Russian truce was put in effect last Aug. 3.”
Meanwhile, opposition-linked websites reported that several civilians were killed by the intensified regime forces shelling on the region of Houla in the countryside of north Homs, despite an announced truce in the area.
ISIS extremist group has caused significant casualties number in the ranks of the regime forces and the militiamen loyal to them of Syrian and non-Syrian nationality during attacks in 24 hours. Sources said that the organization tries through these attacks to show its strength to its supporters, and that it is still able to carry out attacks, despite its continued decline in the provinces of Al-Raqqah, Aleppo, Homs and Hama.
Syrian Observatory documented more casualties during these attacks, where it rose to 48 at least including 5 officers, the number of members of the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities who were killed within 24 hours of violent attacks by the organization using booby trapped vehicle and in the violent clashes.
Clashes took place after mid-night of Wednesday – Thursday, between the Syria Democratic Forces on one hand, and the Islamic and rebel factions operating within the forces of “The Euphrates Shield” Operation on the other, in the area of Ablah in the northern countryside of Aleppo, without information about casualties.
However, the security establishment in the city of Jarabulus declared that “it is absolutely forbidden to put on any masks for anyone or any military faction under the security and legal accountability”, the regime forces also shelled areas in the west of Aleppo, without information about casualties.
