Syrian Troops Advance In Aleppo
2014-07-08
[Ynet] BEIRUT - Syrian troops were advancing inside Aleppo on Monday in what appears to be an attempt to lay siege to rebel-held parts of the country's largest city, activists said.

Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said that reinforcements, including elite government forces and allies from Leb's Hezbollah group, arrived in the city recently.

Abdurrahman and an activist based near Aleppo who goes by the name of Abu al-Hassan said Monday's fighting is concentrating near an army base that rebels captured two years ago.

#3  This all seems to be kicking off. I expect the locals to take it as a sign that it's ok for them to rise up as well, that's OK, nearer to bitch-slap heaven for them, I say.

#1  Prolly safe to say that both Jordan + Iraq are next on the ISIS/ISIL's list for annexation to the Caliphate.

Question is will likely Globalist-desired, future OWG Co-Superpower RISING IRAN tolerate such a move by a potential regional + geopol rival that is Sunni + also NOT-SAUDI-ARABIA???
