A joint Syrian armed force Hizballah compel was not able in two weeks of horrible fighting to break the resistance of the Syrian radicals holding out in Daraa and catch the southern Syrian town. On Saturday, June 17, they proclaimed a 48-hour truce until Monday and gave the agitators a final offer: Withdraw with your families to Jordan amid the interruption under a protected lead ensure, or else confront the resumption of the fierce pounding by the Syrian armed force’s split fourth shielded division and Hizballah’s al-Qaim commando unit.
Up until the truce, those powers dropped on the revolutionaries holding out in Daraa 712 touchy barrels from helicopters and let go 450 rockets in 166 air fights. On the off chance that the agitators battle on and dismiss the final proposal, they will confront those Syrian and Hizballah powers sustained with cutting edge Russian-made Mi-25 “flying tanks,” which are equipped for conveying significantly heavier measures of barrel bombs and furnished with hostile to tank rockets for striking strengthened revolt positions.
Endless supply of this final proposal, DEBKAfile’s military and insight sources report that the dissidents squatted in Daraa swung to the Jordanian high summon for guidelines on whether confront up to the coming surge or collapse and withdraw. The Jordanians alluded the question to the US summon in Syria and Iraq and it was passed on to Washington.
Yet, Sunday evening, there was no answer.
Once the dissidents relinquish Daraa to the Syrian and Hizballah armed forces, the fight for the whole area of southern Syria will be lost. Unless they are halted, those armed forces will have the capacity to go ahead under Iranian heading and catch Quneitra only a couple of kilometers from Israel’s Golan outskirt, after the fall of Daraa conveys them straight up to the Syrian fringe with Jordan.
The Iranian-sponsored Assad-administration’s triumph of southern Syria turned out to be more substantial than any time in recent memory on Saturday, after it chalked up another fruitful military operation: the catch from the Islamic State of the Al-Waleed fringe crossing on the Iraqi side of the Syrian outskirt.
Al-Waleed is near Al-Tanf, the vital Syrian fringe crossing with Iraq, where US and other Western extraordinary strengths have been based since a year ago, to hinder the section of overwhelming weaponry from Iran to Syria by means of the primary Baghdad-Damascus expressway.
Baghdad reported Saturday that the Iraqi armed force and Sunni tribal warriors had expelled the Islamic State from the al-Waleed outskirt. In any case, the “Iraqi armed force” was a doublespeak for the Popular Mobilization Units, a volunteer army supported by Tehran which was incorporated a year ago in the Iraqi national armed force.
It hence turns out that the catch of Al-Waleed not just brought the Syrian-Hizballah-genius Iranian drive to the region of the US-held Al-Tanf, it additionally gave Tehran access to the Baghdad-Damascus roadway for the vehicle of substantial gear including tanks to Syria.
Iran has in this manner gained its pined for prize, a land extension to Syria by means of Iraq.
The US army Al Tanf likewise led certain military moves in southern Syria, fundamentally the exchange from Jordan of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), which have a scope of 300km.
Be that as it may, while the Iranian-drove Syrian units were always moving in the last half a month, the American compel made no endeavor to ruin their developments or mount offensives to hinder their advance. Its authorities, similar to the Syrian agitators and the Israeli and Jordanian high summons, have all the earmarks of being stopping until orders are gotten from Washington.
