| U.S. F-22 Raptors over Syria |
UPDATE 22 June 2018: The specific American and Israeli warnings notwithstanding regarding established de-confliction zones, Syrian and Iranian forces have begun their offensive drive to the Jordanian and Israeli borders (Deraa and Golan). At the moment the U.S. is attempting to halt the offensive through diplomatic means. When the diplomatic effort summarily face-plants itself, the only other option will take precedence in an entirely predictable and prejudicial manner. The U.S., Israel and Jordan are on the same page and will act accordingly.
26 May 2018: This entry is to note how far ahead of global corporate media are the readers of this blog. As of this morning, and with respect to certain events that have taken place in the ongoing war in Syria (Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49:23-27), the lead-time has been measured at 3 months and 9 days.

In Global SITREP A8-18, in the section dated 16 Frebruary 2018, the "Battle of al-Tabiyeh" near Dier-Ez-Zor which took place on 7 February is noted with some detail.
Just yesterday, Friday, 25 May 2018, the globalist media kigpin, a/k/a The New York Times, finally got around to reporting on this same battle. There is considerable detail in the Times' version of the battle.
However, the reason for this delay is simple, to alert the world to the probability of an impending clash of the same forces (i.e. Russians and Americans) that engaged at Dier-Ez-Zor. The difference is this time the battle will occur in the region we know from Isaiah 17 as the "cities of Aroer," that is, southern Syria and northwestern Jordan, from Israa, Deraa and As-Suwayda in Syria to Irbid, al-Mafraaq and Jerash in Jordan. All of this region is adjacent to Israel's Golan.
The importance here is obvious:
1. The entire region is a US, Israel and Jordanian controlled deconfliction zone agreed to between the U.S. amd Russia back in 2017.
2. The agreement includes a ceasefire among the locally warring parties, with Syrian government and Iranian military proxies to the north, and US-Jordanian trained and equipped rebel forces within the region.
3. This area has been a focus for Iranian forces as it is an obvious path to flanking Israel's forces deployed on the Golan. It is also the air corridor used by Iran for reconnaissance/attack drones like the one shot down by the IDF which sparked a fierce battle won by Israel.
For these reasons this past Friday the US warned both Russia and Syria plus its allies that any attack by their forces into this region will by met with "firm and appropriate measures" by US and allied military forces (i.e. Israel and Jordan). This would put US, Israeli and Jordanian forces in direct conflict with Russian, Syrian and Iranian forces.
Looking Further Ahead
For his part, Israeli PM Netanyahu also just reiterated that the Israeli-Iran/Hezbollah conflict is not over, nor will it be as long as Iranian forces and the Shi'a proxies, like Hezbollah, remain in Syria. Israel is also targeting Iranian weapons manufacturing in Lebanon. This Israeli operation is more than sporadic attacks on Iranian targets in Syria and Lebanon; it is now a full-fledged campaign to drive Iran and its proxies out of Syria and to engage in a process of neutralizing Hezbollah's significant military capabilities in Lebanon. This campaign in part also dovetails with the strategic US campaign against Iranian nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.
Update 31 May 2018: With Bashar al-Assad officially declaring there are no Iranian military forces in Syria, only advisors, the door has swung open for Israel to engage Hezbollah and IRGC-led Shi'a militias that have massed in southern Syria. We all know this powder keg could blow at any moment.
Update 4 June 2018: Of course neither Syria, Iran nor Hezbollah is fooling anyone by putting Syrian uniforms on Hezbollah or other Iranian proxy forces in Syria near Israel's northern border. And it is hoped that Israel is not being naive regarding the double and triple game Russia is playing against them in Syria. The Russians cannot be trusted, period.
Additionally, the amount of Russian-generated disinformation being propagated over the past few weeks is simply staggering. When it comes to Information Warfare (IW), Russia has taken it to a whole new level, one which required the Israeli government to issue strongly worded denials as a counter-action to the Russian (and Iranian) disinformation that global media lapped up like starving dogs. Nevertheless, folks in Israel and in the West consummed the disinformation their media presented as fact and are now fully disinformed about what is occurring in this war zone. Events will have to overtake them for the truth to be revealed.
