With the Syrian military having captured a number of towns in southern
Idlib Province, reports had them focused on massing troops for a deeper
push. That seems to be happening quickly, with Russia sending reinforcements to the area.
Already, reports are that the Syrian forces are moving into some towns
and farmland further into Idlib, and are getting closer to the densely
populated parts of the province near its provincial capital.
As they push into farms and villages, White Helmets officials are claiming large increases
in civilian casualties. Its not clear this is accurate, however, as the
White Helmets are funded by Western nations and have tended to make
claims that would support Western policies.
In this case, Western policies can be seen as just anti-Russian
policies. While Russia is keen to see Syria finish fighting over this
last rebel-held province, the US and others are eager to see the war
drag on.
Any comments from White Helmets can suavely be discarded as rubbish. Full stop!
White Helmet claims of increased civilian casualties are a clear indication of Syrian advances/successes. Next comes the claims — false flags — of dastardly Syrian chemical weapons attacks. Then final defeat of the Idlib head-choppers. Can’t come soon enough.
The linked citation only says that Russian planes are bombing in support of the Syrian forces. That isn’t “Russian reinforcements.”
Another “mysterious” poison gas attack should be launched any day now and summarily blamed on Assad with little to no evidence.
HURRAH!!!
