where they were confronted by a large force mixed of Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) militants. (al Qaeda/Nusra)
Within hours of launching the attack, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies managed to capture Tal Dhib’at, forcing the jihadist rebels to withdraw towards another part of the Beit Jinn Farms.
Since the jihadist rebels refused to accept a reconciliation deal in this part of the Golan Heights,
the Beit Jinn pocket remains absent from any de-escalation agreement.
As long as the jihadist rebels refuse to end hostilities in this area,
the Syrian Arab Army will continue their field operations until the former reconsiders their decision.

Al Tanf (US base/Jordanian border)
ISIS Mobile Groups Use U.S. Al-Tanf Base For Raids Against Syrian Army – Russian Ministry Of Defense
https://southfront.org/isis-mobile-g...ry-of-defense/
U.S. forces use refugees living in the Rukban camp in southeast Syria as a human shield, the Russian Defense Ministry has said.
“Rukban refugees are de facto hostages, effectively a ‘human shield’ for the US base. Think about it, other than by Americans such ‘protection’ barriers are used in Syria only by those who they came here to fight, the terrorists,” Major General Igor Konashenkov said in a statement on Friday.
Konashenkov added that 60,000 women and children who fled Raqqa and Deir Ezzor currently live in the camp. The spokesman also blamed the United States for preventing humanitarian aid to the area from Syria, Jordan and the United Nations.
The Russian general added that the US base protected by the “human shield” has turned into a “black hole” on the Syrian-Jordanian border from which ISIS mobile groups conduct raids against Syrian government forces.
“The Pentagon’s representatives have repeatedly stated that instructors from the US, the UK and Norway staying there under the cover of tactical aviation and multiple-launch rocket systems are training New Syrian Army militants. However, in actual fact, al-Tanf has turned into a 100-kilometer ‘black hole’ on the Syrian-Jordanian state border. Instead of the New Syrian Army, mobile ISIL [ISIS] groups, like a jack in the box, carry out sabotage and terrorist attacks against Syrian troops and civilians from there,” Konashenkov said.
The spokesman said that the illegal establishment of the base there was publicly justified “by the need to conduct operations against ISIL [ISIS].” However, no information have been received about any US-led operations against ISIS during the six months of the base existence.
Earlier this week, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the 300 ISIS members that had seized the city of Al-Qaryatayn deep inside the government-held area came from the Rukban area.

A large number of Russian soldiers are en route to Syria to partake in the ongoing operations against the Islamic State (ISIS) in the Deir Ezzor Governorate, a source in Damascus told Al-Masdar this morning.
The Russian soldiers were transported via the Ropucha-class landing ship, Azov, through the Bosphorus Strait to the Mediterranean Sea today.
The Russian soldiers are expected to arrive in Tartous this week.

Syria Shows Evidence of Western-Made Arms Ending Up in Terrorists' Hands
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/2...de-arms-video/
Syrian Defense Ministry publishes new evidence of US-led alliance’s support for terroristsIt also says that Daesh and al-Nusra Front terrorists were supplied with "rockets, rifles, machine guns, anti-air weapons, and even tanks in exchange for oil that the terrorists stole from wells in Syria and Iraq."
After the liberation of east Aleppo and areas in the provinces of Homs, Hama, Aleppo, and Deir ez-Zzor, the terrorists of these two organizations also left behind weapons made in Bulgaria and Eastern European countries, apparently bought and delivered by the US. The Ministry pointed out that the discovery suggests that the US has been applying the very same pattern it used in Afghanistan in the 1980s, when the US and Saudi Arabia sent weapons to Pakistani intelligence, which ended up with al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
The report specifically points out that Israel had also provided various types of weapons to the al-Nusra Front and other terror groups in Syria.
The document says that these weapons ended up in the hands of terrorists, as evidenced by videos and photos that emerged in social media showing al-Nusra Front terrorists using US-made TOW anti-tank rockets, through the support programs of the administration of former US President Barack Obama, for the so-called “moderate opposition.”
The Ministry noted that all the fighters of the so-called Free Syrian Army who were trained and armed by the US in Turkey in September 2015, later pledged allegiance to al-Nusra after entering Syria. The same happened with the fighters trained in Jordan, who ended up joining Daesh, and with large number of fighters from the Nour Eddin al-Zinki Movement, a rebel group which was supported by the US, which also joined al-Nusra Front.
The Ministry specifically noted said that after the Obama administration lifted the ban on providing lethal weapons to terrorists, Saudi Arabia bought 15,000 TOW anti-tank rockets from the US at a cost of $1 billion. These weapons have been used by terrorists against the Syrian army since 2014.
"The weapons purchased by Saudi Arabia from Central and Eastern European states are largely incompatible with the Saudi armament program and equipment, indicating that Saudi Arabia isn’t actually the final user of these weapons; rather they go to terrorists in Syria," the document says.
Over two million CITY 4,000 rockets came from Bulgaria via Saudi Arabia and ended up in the hands of terrorists in Aleppo, it added.
It also noted that on December 19, 2016, while de-mining al-Sakhour area in eastern Aleppo, various types of ammunition were found at the site, "including US-made ammo such as 60mm mortar rounds and grenades fired by launcher attachments for rifles."
The document specified that among the confiscated weapons were Soviet-made guns which "were likely exported to the states of the Warsaw Pact in the past and were later purchased from these states." They ended up in the hands of terrorists "because of the lack of scrutiny about who is receiving them."
"This is intentional and seeks to escalate the war in Syria, in addition to violating the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty of 2014, which states that it’s illegal to export weapons if there is a likelihood of them falling into the hands of terrorists," the Ministry stated.
It ended the report by concluding that "geographic proximity and the lack of oversight of exports allowed some states to benefit from the arms trade, and in most cases this was done with the help of the US, which assisted its allies in sending weapons to Daesh and al-Nusra terrorists, among others, and provided high-tech weapons to escalate the situation in Syria. Therefore Washington is responsible for the expansion of these terror organizations in Syria."
The Channels of Western-Made Arms Supplies to Syria
Earlier on Monday, Gen. Ali Al Ali, chief of the main operational directorate of the Syrian army commented on the revelations, saying that Syrian radicals were supplied with weapons "bought under the Pentagon's program of assistance to US allies."
Another Syrian army official, Walid Khali, told reporters that al-Nusra Front militants, who attacked Russian military police in Syria on September 18, had carried over 100 small arms and hand-held grenade launchers made in the United States, Belgium and France, which had been illegally delivered from abroad.
In September, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) issued a report, which revealed that Pentagon had been spending as much as $2.2 billion on its program to supply Soviet-style arms and ammunition to Syria via various contractors and sub-contractors in Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet states.
The report revealed that arms factories across the Balkans and Eastern Europe have been "already working at capacity to supply the Syrian war," but "are unable to meet the demand."
"The US Department of Defense (DoD) has turned to new suppliers like Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Ukraine for additional munitions while relaxing standards on the material it’s willing to accept," the document revealed.
"The Pentagon is buying the arms through two channels: the Special Operations Command (SOCOM), which oversees special operations across all services of the US military, and the Picatinny Arsenal, a little-known US Army weapons facility in New Jersey," it said.
The munitions are the transported by both sea and air from Europe to Turkey, Jordan and Kuwait. They are then distributed to US allies in northern and southern Syria by plane and truck, it stated.
This equipment supplied to these parts of Syria, reportedly included firearms, mortars, AK-47 rifles, heavy machine guns, RPGs and various types of ammunition, it concluded.

#BREAKING Al Mayadin has been liberated by #SAA forces
With today’s liberation of the Islamic States (ISIS) de facto capital, Al-Mayadeen,
the Syrian Arab Army is in prime position to liberate the Deir Ezzor Governorate’s largest oil fields.
The Al-‘Umar Oil Fields have been one of the Islamic State’s most important revenue streams;
its liberation is now one of the Syrian military’s top priorities in the Deir Ezzor Governorate.
In the coming days, the Syrian Arab Army will clear the Islamic State’s last pockets in the provincial capital
and then shift their focus to the Al-‘Umar Oil Fields, where they hope to reach this site before the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

I think the SAA may time their border operation together with the Iraqi PMU/security forces.
ISIS will have no other alternative than to split their forces.
It will make things somewhat easier for both of them.
I've heard the populations of Bukamal and Qaim themselves aren't exactly the most cooperative bunch.
It looks like the Syrian/Iraqi border will be their last stand.
It would help if the SAA would finally capture the patch of desert stretching from Sukhna to the T2 pumping station...
