Behold what happens in the new & improved "Free Syria" when you say "we will not accept support from the USA".

The Lebanese Army is now deploying in the southern town of Khiam (my hometown), which stood as a fortress on the border with occupied Palestine. For over two months, Israel relentlessly bombed it, failing in three attempts to invade during the war. They only entered after the ceasefire, detonating homes until 1 a.m. last night. By doing so Israel portrayed its criminal actions as a victory. This is not a victory. This is vengeance. Khiam stands as a testament to the resilience of our blessed resistance fighters. Going home soon🙏🏻

From the summit of Mount Hermon, known as Sharit al-Haramoun, perched at an altitude of 2,814 meters, a breathtaking panorama unfolds on a perfectly clear day. From this vantage point between Syria and Lebanon, one can behold: ▫️Vast stretches of southern Syria, including Daraa, Sweida, and the Damascus countryside. ▫️The expansive horizon beyond Mount al-Arab and parts of the Syrian desert. ▫️The Bekaa Valley and Lebanon’s towering mountain ranges. ▫️Large portions of the eastern Mediterranean. ▫️Peaks of the mountains in Cyprus. ▫️The shimmering waters of Lake Tiberias. ▫️The Golan Heights in its entirety. ▫️Northern Jordan and Palestine, with views extending to central regions like the Balqa Heights, parts of Amman, and the occupied Palestinian coastline. Note: The summit is currently under Israeli Occupation.

*GRAPHIC* Yesterday, some people were trembling with sorrow over the plight of detainees in Sednaya, lamenting the regime's torture of them. Today, their hearts are leaping with joy at the sight of Syrian arab army soldiers being executed in cold blood. And they justify it by saying, "It's normal, it's expected." So, was the regime supposed to carry out summary executions of everyone it captured during the campaigns to overthrow it for you to call it "normal and expected"? Complete hypocrisy. 100s of videos like this circulating all across Syria.

Hezbollah issued the following statement: The "Israeli" entity's occupation of additional Syrian territories and its targeting of military capabilities there constitutes a dangerous and strongly condemned act of aggression. The UN Security Council, the international community, and Arab and Islamic nations bear the responsibility of rejecting and ending this aggression and protecting the Syrian people during this critical and pivotal stage of their history. We have always warned against "Israeli" ambitions across the region and have resisted them to prevent the occupation from achieving its goals. We have repeatedly emphasized that the aggression on Gaza is a war of extermination and a stepping stone to altering the region’s landscape and ending the Palestinian cause. The complete silence from Arab, Islamic, and international entities regarding the criminal aggression on Syria, backed by unlimited American support, and the failure to take practical measures to confront this aggression and support the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights, have emboldened the Zionist entity to expand its transgressions against the region. All necessary steps must be taken to prevent the "Israeli" entity from achieving its goals. Silence or mere observation of this brutal aggression against Syria and its people is unacceptable. What is happening in Syria today, both on popular and political levels, and the resulting internal and external political choices, is the exclusive right of the Syrian people, free from any external pressures or influences. We hope Syria will stabilize through the choices of its people, achieve its revival, and remain firmly in the position of rejecting "Israeli" occupation and preventing foreign interventions in its affairs. We will continue to stand by Syria and its people in their right to shape their future and confront their enemy, the usurping "Israeli" entity. Tuesday, 10-12-2024 08 Jumada Al-Akhira 1446

Can we now talk about the KSA and UAE prisons? No? How about the Jordan and Egypt prisons? Again no? How about EU prisons for illegal migrants? Not even US solitary confinement.. guantanamo? Abu Ghraib?..nothing? Mmm..how about the Israeli torture centers of all-age-Palestinians? No? You sure? Ok then...let us talk about the benefits of Aloe Vera for your hair roots😊

Israeli tanks are 10 km away from Damascus. Oh but nevermind..yaaaay "freedom and democrazy" 🥳😊

Asking for a friend: Isn’t the Golan Heights still Syrian territory? Or did the so-called “freedom fighters” of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham forget their compass doesn’t point south toward liberation, only east toward chaos?

Israel has seized 240 square kilometers of Syrian land over the past 24 hours… but the land is not enough. They’ve claimed our skies too—our skies, which no longer belong to us. Decades of relentless Israeli aggression, and the world remains silent, and is now watching as Syria bleeds. Our sovereignty is trampled, our skies violated, and yet no one speaks, no one moves. How many more violations will it take? How many more lives must be sacrificed before the world sees what the natives of this region have endured?

The unfolding crisis in Syria is both alarming and murky, demanding caution before drawing definitive conclusions, especially to those with early celebrations. Yet, certain truths have come into sharp focus. For one, Western mainstream media appears remarkably prepared. Within mere hours, they’ve published detailed reports, conducted interviews, and painted a full picture of the situation. They were able to pinpoint the players, their motives, and their strategies. This level of precision so quickly raises a question: could this media blitz be the result of foresight, or perhaps, coordination? Equally concerning is the new reality on the ground. Israeli tanks have rolled into Syrian territory, and Turkey’s President Erdogan, long a vocal supporter of Palestinians, has performed a not-so-astonishing about-face. He is now unapologetically aligned with Israel. Neither of these developments would likely occur without the backing or direct orchestration of the United States. Meanwhile, Jordan, Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia have conspicuously ignored Syria’s plea for assistance ever since "ties" were "normalized" with Syria, further suggesting a larger U.S.-Israel agenda at work. Since the catastrophic invasion of Iraq and the loss of over a million lives, the US's strategic blueprint has been clear: dismantle Syria as a precursor to isolating and toppling Iran and all resistance factions it suppprts in the region. What’s happening now fits seamlessly into this long-term ambition. The most outrageous twist, however, is the revival of so-called “democratic rebels.” These are none other than the same groups the West once labeled terrorists—ISIS and Al-Qaeda affiliates. Their leader, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, has undergone a media makeover, going from radical jihadist to blazer-wearing “revolutionary.” CNN, ever the megaphone for Western narratives, recently aired an interview with him, while outlets like The Telegraph gushed over his supposed transformation, calling his group “diversity-friendly jihadists.” The absurdity would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. Syria, blindsided and vulnerable, faces this assault while its two main allies—Iran and Russia—are entangled in their own conflicts. This, undoubtedly, is part of the calculation. The broader aim seems all too clear. Netanyahu, under fire for his atrocities in Gaza, seeks to expand the conflict into a regional war, shifting the spotlight from his crimes. Meanwhile, the U.S. arms industry conveniently benefits as the Ukraine war wanes, ensuring profits remain steady. Coincidence? Unlikely. Could this spark World War III? Will Syria crumble like Libya? Will Trump’s return change the calculus for better or worse? Will China step in? It’s too soon to tell. But one thing is certain: the U.S.-Israel alliance has once again unleashed its destructive agenda, and the cost will be measured in innocent lives. Today, Syria bleeds, and the world watches in silence. ~An analysis I admire by Kostas Antoniadis on FB.~

How does one reconcile speaking of international law while Israel annexes more Syrian land, bombs Damascus relentlessly since this morning, and occupies additional Syrian territories?

Reports from multiple sources in Damascus indicate that Assad left Syria with his family. If confirmed, this development marks the end of the Syrian Arab Republic in its current form and the beginning new chapter for the country & its people. انا لله وانا اليه راجعون
