“Over 250 trucks carrying logistical support for the SDF arrived in Syria’s Eastern Euphrates after crossing the border with Iraq,” the Kurdish-language Xeber24 news website reported.

Meantime, the Syrian army continued its military advances in other parts of Syria over past 24 hours.

Tens of terrorists were killed and dozens more were injured during the Syrian army’s operations in provinces across Syria.

Eastern Euphrates

Hundreds of trucks carrying US logistical equipment destined for the Syrian Democratic Forces arrived in Eastern Syria to back up the SDF, Kurdish-language media sources reported.

The Kurdish-language Xeber24 news website reported that over 250 trucks carrying logistical support for SDF arrived in Syria’s Eastern Euphrates after crossing the border with Iraq.

The news website noted that the US convoy comprising equipment, drilling equipment, oil tankers and several more covered trucks are now in Eastern Euphrates to continue providing support for the SDF.

Northern Syria

Tahrir al-Sham al-Hay’at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) terrorists and pro-militant White Helmets terrorists have fully prepared to launch false-flag chemical attacks in six spots in the demilitarized zone in Northern Syria, media reports said Monday.

The terrorist commanders have recently held a meeting to designate the missions of the terrorists for using chemical weapons in six spots along the frontlines behind the demilitarized zone in Northern Syria, the Arabic-language service of the Russian Sputnik news agency quoted informed sources in Idlib province as saying.

They said that the chemical substances will be supplied from tens of locations where the chlorine gas capsules and chemical-mounted missiles had been stored.

“The senior Tahrir al-Sham commanders in a meeting with White Helmet, Jeish al-Izza and Islamic Turkistani Party terrorists agreed to immediately use chemical weapons as soon as the Syrian Army makes advances towards their military positions,” the sources said.

They also said that the terrorist commanders have been given advanced wireless systems connected to a coded communication network to expedite exchange of information, instructions and developments concerning the use of chemical weapons on Syrian Army targets.

Meanwhile, the Syrian Army is preparing for a major assault on terrorists in the demilitarized zone as the militant groups continue violating the Sochi agreement by continuing their daily attacks from the demilitarized zone.

Hama-Idlib

The Syrian Army pounded and destroyed the military positions and convoys of the terrorists in Northern Hama and Southern Idlib, Arabic-language media reports said Monday.

The Syrian Army’s missile units fired at least 40 missiles at military convoys of Tahrir al-Sham’s elite terrorists in Khan Sheikhoun city in Southern Idlib, the Arabic-language service of the Russian Sputnik news agency quoted a military source as saying.

The source pointed to the dispatch of military equipment and militants by terrorists to that region, and said several military vehicles of the terrorists have been destroyed and tens of militants were killed or wounded after their convoys came under attack.

In Northwestern Hama, the Syrian Army units stationed in Sahl al-Ghab region targeted the movements of Tahrir al-Sham al-Hay’at in the outskirts of the town of al-Mansoureh towards the government forces’ military points, destroying several military vehicles and killing a number of foreign terrorists.

Meantime, the terrorist groups stationed in Northern Aleppo, launched several rocket attacks on Share al-Nil, al-Khalediyeh and National Market districts which resulted in the death of 11 civilians and injury of 11 others.

Hasaka

The ISIL terrorist commanders are using a camp controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces in Hasaka as a base for military operations, Arabic-language media reports said on Monday.

“The ISIL terrorists and commanders have turned the SDF-controlled al-Hawl Camp as a venue for holding their meetings and coordinating their movements,” the Arabic-language service of Russia Today quoted an Iraqi intelligence source as saying.

It noted that 90 percent of the residents of al-Hawl Camp are families of the ISIL terrorists, and said, “The ISIL terrorists and commanders who are using the camp are still supported by the terrorist organization.”
