A large depot of militants' weapons and ammunition has been seized by the Syrian Army and popular forces in the newly-captured village of Jabal al-Sayyid in the northern part of Lattakia in western Syria, according to the Iranian news agency FARS.

"The Syrian government forces seized a large volume of military hardware, including weapons, vehicles and ammunition in the positions of the militant groups after the terrorists retreated from their strongholds in Jabal al-Sayyid," the sources said.

According to the sources, the recapture of Jabal al-Sayyid currently places the army in a very good position to monitoring the militants' movements in the al-Mreij region.


The seizure of militants' depot in Latakia came a day after the Syrian troops launched an offensive against the militants based in the mountainous regions in northern areas of the coastal province, including those located along border with Turkey.

On Friday, a spokesperson for the Syrian Army announced that the government troops, supported by Russian airstrikes, have managed to gain back more than 56 villages, towns and heights from the militant groups across Latakia in just 68 days.

"The militant groups withdrew forces from over 56 strategic villages, towns and heights after the Syrian government forces launched their joint operation, enjoying the back-up of the Russian air fleet," the spokesperson said.

The army touted the recapture of 56 strategic points as a "wonderful example of coordination and cooperation between the pro-government troops and the Russian Aerospace Force."

Sources have, meanwhile, said that dozens of militants were killed and many more wounded after the Russian bombers targeted the militant groups' strongholds in the rural areas in Jabal al-Akrad and Jabal al-Turkmen regions in Latakia.

It has nothing to do with tracking, it's all politics.

Hypothetically, if Russia shot down an Israeli aircraft, even if they were lining up for an attack, Russia would look like the aggressor. Israel just has to say their aircraft where practicing some maneuvers. Besides, it's up to Syria to defend their airspace, the S-400 is there to protect Russia's assets.

This seems to be like the last Israeli attack on Damascus, which hadn't happened. Remember.

RT wrote:There are conflicting reports regarding the course of events. Some say that there was an Israeli airstrike on the residential area, while other describe the incident as terrorist mortar shelling.

Reuters initially cited Syrian state TV as saying that several people had been injured, after rockets launched by “terrorist groups” hit a building in the Jaramana district of Damascus.

I second Regular, that in this case Israel has warned russian army about the forthcoming strike and probably the target ot the attack.
BTW there have been 4 rockets, fired from within israel's airspace, so the hit is "legitimate"...

Israel News Flash: "BREAKING: Unconfirmed reports of an IAF airstrike in Damascus suburb killing Palestinian terrorist, Samir Quntar"

Jewish feed: "BREAKING: Syria state TV confirms 2 killed is Jaramana explosion near Damascus, Some claim it was an IAF strike"

"Since his 2008 release, Israeli media on multiple occasions claimed that Kuntar had been killed, including during Israeli strikes on Syria. However, none of the reports had been confirmed."

Then we have the Israeli Construction and Housing Minister Yoav Gallant welcoming the alleged death of the Lebanese militant leader.

"It is good that people like Samir Qantar will not be part of our world," he told Israel Radio.

He refused to confirm or deny Israeli involvement in the affair, however.

Israelis being shy about their capacities? I don't think so. They may be trying to take credit for a rocket attack conducted by their ISIS buddies. This guy probably has been killed by Israel as many times as the al Qaeda No. 1 was killed by the Americans. The innocent civilians however were actually killed by whoever attacked the building.

I am also suspicious of claims that Russia would quietly accept a 'heads up' from anyone targetting the leader of one of the most effective forces taking on ISIS, particularly if the building was occupied by innocent civilians.
