The partial withdrawal of US forces from NES with the evacuation of some bases located in Deir Ez Zor coincides with the increase of ISIS activities and puts a heavy burden on the shoulders of SDF. Many jihadist groups previously located in Idlib are disappointed with the direction of HTS. This disappointment creates a fertile ground for ISIS recruiters, already calling for their former members to rejoin their ranks, inviting also SNA groups to pledge allegiance to the Islamic state. Forces of the General Security Services (GSS) also carried out operations against ISIS cells in Aleppo after new attacks against GSS checkpoints in Deir Ezzor.# ATTACK ON RUSSIAN AIR BASE"Burkan al Furat” claimed the attack on Russian forces at Hmeimim air base that killed two Russian soldiers. They published a statement giving the Russians one month to leave Syria before they attack again. The Islamist group also announced that two of its fighters were killed, including ex-Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS) military trainer Abu Jihad Masri. The syrian transitional goverment declared that they acted without approval from the Central Security Services.# TENSIONS IN SUWEYDA CONTINUE Armed attacks and confrontations continue escalating amid the challenges faced by the transitional government and Druze forces in maintaining security in Suwayda Province. Local armed groups have engaged in repeated incidents of theft and other various criminal activities in Suwayda in recent days. A leader of "Men of Dignity" complained that the government has not provided local police institutions with any logistical support or equipment since the May 1 agreement. A new Druze faction known as the “National Guard Forces” recently formed in Suwayda Province, likely due to continued distrust between some Druze and local Sunni communities and the government's continued security challenges.# RENEWED TENSIONS BETWEEN SDF AND SNA AT TISHREEN DAMSDF and SNA factions are advancing towards each other west of Tishreen Dam, in the Manbij countryside. Some clashes recently took place there, and it is not clear if Damascus sanctioned the SNA’s recent activity near Tishreen Dam or if they continue to act independently. The existence of SNA-dominated army units that do not answer to Damascus risks discouraging Kurdish militants from integrating into the state due to the SNA’s historic abuses against the Kurdish population. # DAMASCUS DELEGATION IN AL-HOLA delegation from the Syrian transitional government visited Hol Camp to discuss the conditions of Syrian residents. The delegation included representatives from the ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs, the intelligence services, as well as officials responsible for counterterrorism efforts within the Syrian transitional government, accompanied by representatives of the U.S.-led Global Coalition. The delegation held a meeting with representatives of the DAANES and the camp’s administration, discussing the potential return of Syrian residents in the camp to their home areas and villages.----------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Syria</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NES</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SDF</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DAANES</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AANES</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SNA</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SDF</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PYD</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YPJ</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YPG</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTS</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rojava</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kurdistan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Revolution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefendRojava</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anarchy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anarchism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Comrades</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Internationalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbdullahOcalan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Öcalan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PKK</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomenLifeFreedom</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TekosinaAnarsist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TekosinaAnarsist</a>

The audio was confirmed fake, but clashes escalated with dozens of deads and many injured. Druze leaders condemned the attacks, some blaming the transitional government and comparing it with the massacres in coastal areas. Among those killed in clashes there is a leading figure of "men of dignity", the biggest local druze force, currently in negotiations with the provisional government to integrate forces in the new Syrian army. Several fighters of the GSS were also killed, as more forces were deployed in the region to deter further attacks against druze population. Delegetes of the provisional government held meetings with druze leaders to de-escalate the situation.# ISRAELI BOMBING CAMPAGIN With the tensions surrounding the clashes on Druze regions, Israel bombed some positions where clashes were taking place. They also launched a wider bombing campaign targeting military positions of the GSS. One of the bombs was dropped a few meters away of the presidential Palace in Damascus. Israel ministery of Defense declared that the bombing was a warning to stop the attacks against Druze population, announcing plans for further attacks and expansion of their military campaign if the provisional government doesn't protect minorities. Many military positions around Syria were targeted, destroying military infrastructure and injuring military personnel. Some Druze civilians were also killed in one of the bombings of Israel. Many governments strongly condemned the attacks of Israel, including UN delegates, denouncing how Israel interference is threatening the stability of Syria.# STALLING OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH NES No new steps were taken in the negotiations after the agreements of March 10 were signed by Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara. The damascus government criticized the conference of Kurdish national unity, accusing it of an effort to create division and separatism. Calls of the DAANES for a federal Syria are not being listen to by the central government, that sees the efforts to sustain the self-government structures as a threat to their model of centralized government. GSS forces have been deploying in the suroundings of Tishreen dam, even if no clashes are taking place there since mid April. SDF is also increasing security in the region, building up tensions that can spark future conflicts.# ISIS LEADER CAPTURED IN DEIR EZZOR SDF captured a senior leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria. The continued work to monitor and target high rank ISIS insurgents, with support of the international coalition. The arrested leader served as the head of an ISIS cell focused on extorting money from civilians. A large cache of weapons and ammunition was also captured during the operation.# TURKEY BUILDING GAS PIPE IN IDLIB The ministeries of energy of Syria and Turkey announced new agreements to provide energy to Syria. A new gas pipe is being build in Idlib, with promises to supply up to 6 million cubic liters of gas to power plans in Syria, with promises of a second pipe line also being build. A general framework agreement on energy cooperation between Syria and Turkey is expected to be signed soon.----# EVALUATION The clashes in Suweida and the attacks on druze regions, south of Damascus, are a trigger warning for all minorities in Syria. The recent massacres against Alawites are still very present for many, especially for those who oppose the power grab of al-Shara. Maybe because of that, the central goverment seems to be reacting much faster that they did in the coastal regions, with rapid deployment of security forces to prevent a spiral of violence going out of control. Kurdish areas are closely following the events, knowing that if this can happen to the Alawites and the Druze, the Kurds may be next. These incidents may affect the negotiations about integration of SDF in the new Syrian army, because if the transitional government can't prevent attacks on minorities, autonomous means of self-defense are the only way to ensure security. The tensions are also to be noticed in Tishreen dam, where military presence is building up in both sides of the river.The Israeli attacks are using the incidents in Druze regions as an excuse to promote their agenda, destroying military infrastructure and justifying their armed operations in Syria. Turkey is among the strongest voices against the Israeli attacks, fueling tensions between the two major competing powers for influence in the region. For someone with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Syria has been drowning in war for over a decade, with military force being the dominant force that shaped the present. It is not easy to escape that spiral of violence, and even after the regime has fallen, demilitarization of a conflict is a very complicated process. Looking at the rest of the world, at how many states are racing to increase their military budgets to unseen levels, it is more clear every day that we are moving globally towards war. This is not something we wanted to see, but we also have a responsibility to understand what is happening around us and react to it. We need to be ready for what is comming, and start working today to build the means of resistance that we will need tomorrow. When the war starts, it is often to late, and only those who are ready to face the challenges that arise can bring their proposals on the table.Revolutionary greetings! 🖤----------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Syria</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NES</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SDF</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DAANES</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AANES</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SNA</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SDF</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PYD</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YPJ</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YPG</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTS</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rojava</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kurdistan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Revolution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefendRojava</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anarchy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anarchism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Comrades</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Internationalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbdullahOcalan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Öcalan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PKK</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomenLifeFreedom</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TekosinaAnarsist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TekosinaAnarsist</a>
