A review of incidents in southern Syria in recent weeks points to the area becoming an increasing flash point as many issues are now in flux. It is important to highlight several of the trends that appear to be happening from Daraa near the Golan border to Deir Ezzor and Albukamal on the Euphrates river. This is an area that is a triangle of 500km on one side from the Golan to Albukamal and then 120 km from Albukamal to Deir Ezzor. These represent two distinct areas. Albukamal to Deir Ezzor is an important corridor. It is where there are some pro-Iranian militias and Iranian presence. Reports indicate that the Afghan and Pakistain volunteers who serve with Iran’s IRGC may be in this area. They are called Fatemyoun and Zainabiyoun. There are also Iraqi Shi’ite militias in this area. |
