#BREAKING For the first time in history and during the reign of NATO/Zionist terrorists in Syria, Israel bombs the heart of the capital #Damascus. Reports say scores killed as it targeted a heavily populated area.

Syria is home to a rich mosaic of ethnicities and sects, from Arabs to Kurds and Assyrians. However, displacement and migration over the past decade have significantly altered this landscape. What does Syria's demographic map look like today? #Syria#Damascus

‎Former Syrian Army Brigadier General assassinated in his home in Damascus ‎An armed terrorist group affiliated with the ⁦ #HTS⁩-led General Security stormed the home of Brig. Gen. Munir Othman in the Masakin al-Dimas area near ⁦ #Damascus⁩ and assassinated him in front of his wife and children early this morning, January 1. ‎Brig. Gen. Munir Othman had previously undergone a so-called “reconciliation= Taswiya” process following the fall of the former government and was not involved in any military or political activity. ‎Sources report that Othman had been subjected to pressure by security officials in ⁦ #Damascus⁩ to relinquish ownership of his home and farm. He was summoned for interrogation multiple times in an effort to force him to give up his property, despite the absence of any evidence linking him to war crimes. After he refused to surrender his assets, security operatives reportedly assassinated him inside his home. ‎The so-called “reconciliation = Taswiya/تسوية” process was announced by Jolani regime and requires former members of the previous armed forces to report to reconciliation centers and voluntarily surrender their weapons and military IDs in exchange for assurances that they would not be pursued. ‎It is worth noting that the same area, Masakin al-Dimas, witnessed the killing of another Alawite man, Ali Bassam Tamer, just one day earlier.

📰 Syria’s Kurds Fold: Government Absorbs Militia After Clashes After weeks of sporadic fighting, Syria’s government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (S.D.F.) have agreed to a cease-fire and full merger of the militia into the national military. The deal hands the government control of most of the S.D.F.’s former territory, including key dams, oil fields, and border crossings, leaving only Hasakah under Kurdish authority. ​ End of Autonomy The Kurds, Syria’s largest ethnic minority, have long fought for autonomy, establishing their own administration and legal system in the northeast. But recent battlefield losses left them in a weak position, forcing concessions. The government will now run all prisons, including Al-Hol, which holds thousands of Islamic State detainees and their families—a major concern for the U.S.-led coalition. ​ U.S. Caught in the Middle The U.S. has backed both the government and the S.D.F., making this merger a diplomatic headache. While U.S. officials welcome the cease-fire, they worry about losing influence and the fate of the Islamic State prisoners. The new agreement means S.D.F. fighters will join the military as individuals, not as a unified force, further weakening Kurdish leverage. ​ Who Really Wins? For the interim government, the deal consolidates control and access to Syria’s resources. For the Kurds, it’s a major retreat from autonomy. But with ethnic minorities still uneasy and the U.S. watching closely, can this uneasy peace hold—or is it just another chapter in Syria’s endless cycle of power struggles? ​ #Syria#Kurds#SDF#Ceasefire#Damascus#USPolicy#MiddleEast 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
