The Syrian army’s steady advance inside the terrorist-controlled Idlib Province has bewildered the U.S., which suddenly claims that its troops – uninvited and thus illegal occupiers of parts of Syria’s soil – have started operations against the Daesh terrorists.
As the Syrian army approached the outskirts of Ma’arat an-Nu’man, a strategic city some 33 km south of the provincial capital Idlib on a highway that connects Damascus to Aleppo, it seems Washington has begun to drop crates of arms to the terrorists, as it used to do in Iraq during the years 2015-2017 to try to beef up the macabrely murderous Takfiris on the pretext of flying sorties against them, but actually to prevent the heroic Hashd ash-Sha’bi (Popular Mobilization Units – PMU) from eliminating this joint Riyadh-Washington-Tel Aviv creation.
The dreams of a Takfiristan stretching from the Levant to the headwaters of the Persian Gulf having long been evaporated – thanks to the brilliant planning of General Qassem Soleimani, whom the criminal U.S. president, Donald Trump so unmanly martyred on January 3 in Baghdad, along with Iraqi military tactician Abu Mahdi al-Muhanddis – the Americans who have no right to be Syria are trying to play spoil sport by stirring up acts of violence and kidnappings in Daraa on the border with Jordan, stealing Syria’s oil in the Euphrates basin, and scheming ways to resurrect Daesh in Idlib on the pretext of fighting it.
These attempts, however, are nothing but desperate measure to be in the news in Syria at a time when the U.S. has no other choice but to retreat in a humiliating manner from Iraq, following the massive million-man-march last Friday in Baghdad for end of American presence that was preceded by the parliamentary decision for closure of the Ain al-Asad and other bases.
The government of President Bashar al-Assad is determined to wrest control of terrorist-held Idlib, and will definitely expand its operation for liberation of the last remaining parts of its soil along with tens of thousands of Syrian people being held hostage by the terrorists for the past several years.
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) quoted a Syrian military source as saying: "The army’s response will not be limited to the origins of attacks by armed terrorist organizations and will include devastating field operations that will not cease until the remnants of armed terrorism is uprooted.”
Accordingly, the Syrian Army’s 25th Special Mission Forces Division has freed the towns of Tal Manis and Ma’ar Shamshah, which are the last points before Ma’arat an-Nu’man, whose liberation will definitely break the back of the terrorists and their supporters.
That is the reason, the terrorists are trying to drive unarmed and defenceless men, women, and children towards the borders of Turkey to fuel the propaganda machines of the West that a humanitarian crisis is beginning to unfold because of Damascus’ resorting to military operations.
The government, people, and the armed forces of Syria, have every right to plan military measures against foreign-funded forces occupying a large chunk of Syrian territory with the active backing of the free world.
Once Idlib is liberated, the uninvited foreign occupation forces, whether of Turkey or of the U.S., Britain, and France, will find it increasingly unlawful to stay in Syria.
This explains for Washington’s nervousness and threats, but Insha Allah (God Willing) all devilish designs of the Americans and the Zionists will come to naught no matter measures these satanic powers take.
