On the Syrian military's attack on HTS militants
2024-12-27
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[ColonelCassad] In Tartus, they chopped up a pack of HTS militants.

HTS militants claim that former soldiers of Assad's army attacked.

It seems that more militants were killed in this skirmish than during the defense of Damascus and Homs.

There is no faith at all in a long-term pro-Assad underground. There will certainly be some attacks, but it is unlikely to last much longer than the resistance in the Panjshir Gorge in Afghanistan after the fall of the Ashraf Ghani regime.

Or the resistance of troops loyal to Gaddafi after the assassination of Gaddafi himself. But in the long term, after the bloody mess awaiting Syria, those of Assad's military who survive until then will be able to return to the "new Syria" in a new role. As happened with the Gaddafi supporters in Libya.

Syria itself, as expected, continues to bubble with internal contradictions, which the Turks are trying to keep under control through the hands of the HTS and the SNA.
