Isis is putting up tough resistance at Sakr(Saqr) Island but is slowly buckling to the overwhelming firepower deployed by the Syrian Arab Army… Hezbollah’s media wing released footage of the Syrian Arab Army troops engaging entrenched Jihadists units on the embattled island, located across the river Southeast of Deir ezzor… The video shows Syrian Arab Army’s Battle-tanks, Artillery, machine guns, and assault troops of the 4th Mechanized Division clearing the path and leading the way through ISIS-controlled points across Saqr island… Towards the end of the video, Airstrikes are even put on display Government forces are notably shown crossing the Euphrates River by boat at one point in the video suggesting reinforcements to be pouring into the area… At the moment the S.A.A controls roughly 60% of Saqr(Sakr) island while militants loyal to the so-called Islamic state terror organisation nevertheless hold on the North fringes prepared to fight to the death in face of an imminent encirclement…

ISIS Strikes Deir-ez-Zor From a US-Controlled Zone in Syria

US Supported Terrorists’ Offensive Repelled by Syrian Army and Russian Military Police Unit

Let’s move on to the Defence Ministry’s statements on the situation in Syria, and about USA’s rather exotic contribution to the fight against terrorism in Syria. US intelligence organized a massive offensive of the terrorist group Jabhat Al-Nusra, forbidden in Russia, on the outskirts of Hama, a city located in one of the de-escalation zones, in disregard of the ceasefire agreement. They wedged in the government force’s defense, trying to surround them, and encircled a Russian military police unit, wounding 3 Russians. The reason has been revealed. In fact, Pentagon is trying to prevent the Syrian army from moving to the east of Deir ez-Zor, which appears to run counter to American geopolitical plans. Ekaterina Mironova has the details.

The Syrian Arab Army resumed their offensive along the Eastern bank of Euphrates River liberating the Town of khasham after an intense battle with the so-called Islamic state terror group… Led by elements of the 4th Mechanized Division and 5th Legion,the Syrian Arab Army advanced South of the recently liberated Mazloum towards the Town of khasham… Once they reached khasham the Syrian Arab Army was confronted by a large Isis force at the Northern part of the Town… The Syrian Arab Army would take full control of khasham this afternoon following the Islamic state’s withdrawal from the Town to a nearby village along the Euphrates…

A Russian Navy submarine “launched Calibre cruise missiles from the underwater position upon terrorist targets in Syria,” reported the Chief Spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Defence, Igor Konashenkov from Moscow, Friday.

Igor Konashenkov, Chief Spokesman for the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation (Russian): At 10 o’clock, 11 minutes, a submarine of the Black Sea Fleet, Veliki Novgorod, which functioned as part of the operational unit of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea, launched Calibre cruise missiles from the underwater position upon terrorist targets in Syria. The targets were identified in recent days due to concentrations of manpower and armoured vehicles, as well as ammunition depots of Jabhat al-Nusra rebels in the province of Idlib. The range to the targets was about 300 kilometres. A sudden missile strike in the province of Idlib destroyed important control points, training bases and armoured vehicles of terrorists who took part in an attempt to capture 29 Russian military police in the north of the province of Hama. The objective control data confirmed the defeat of all targets.”

General Soleimani: ISIL to Fully Collapse in Less Than 3 Months

Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Qassem Soleimani underlined that the ISIL terrorist group is taking its last breaths and will vanish in less than 3 months.

“In less than three months, we will declare the end of ISIL and its ruling on this planet and we will celebrate this victory in Iran and the entire region,” General Soleimani said, addressing a ceremony in the Northern province of Gilan on Thursday.

“We will deal our blows decisively and incessantly to the body of the cancerous tumor created by the US and Israel,” he added.

One of the reasons why Iran has embarked on helping the Syrian and Iraqi nations is that the problem of ISIL cannot be solved through diplomacy in the two countries, he said.

“While ISIL claims that killing Shiites is imperative, there is no option but Jihad (holy war),” General Soleimani stressed, adding, “The enemy is out to dry up Islam and destroy Muslims’ independence and occupy Islamic states.”

“Today, confidence in Iran and its strength is unprecedented and other nations and governments highly trust in Iran because it has succeeded in saving various nations and no other country can compete with Iran to this end.”

The commander added many believed that the war against ISIL would change into a war between Shiite and Sunni Muslims while today we are witnessing that the bloods of Shiite young men are being shed to defend the honor of Sunni people.

This is an undeniable truth that if the young Shiites from Iran and Afghanistan had not rushed to defend defenseless people in Aleppo in Syria, they could have been slaughtered by ISIL, he said.

“Today the existing unity, solidarity and friendship between Shiite and Sunni Muslims are more than ever,” General Soleimani stressed.

In relevant remarks in July, Top Military Aide to the Iranian Supreme Leader Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi warned that Saudi Arabia, the US and Israel are hatching new plots against the region after their mercenary terrorists sustained heavy defeats in Iraq and Syria.

“The ISIL is being defeated and actually, the ISIL defeat is the failure of the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar and the Zionists’ coalition in the region,” General Rahim Safavi said.

Noting that insecurities stirred by the US will possibly continue in Iraq even after the annihilation of the ISIL, he said, “After the failures of the US, Saudi Arabia and the Zionists in Iraq and Syria, a new plot may start in the Persian Gulf region by the same coalition.”
