SYRIA LATEST: LIMITED ACTION IN SW, FULL OFFENSIVE PROMISED, US ATTACK FURTHER EAST
"The Syrian Air Force has conducted at least 60 airstrikes against terrorist positions in #Daraa this week alone. Main offensive is yet to begin."
"Paul Antonopoulos" Twitter 6/21/2018
The Syrian military has been on the attack in the southwest of Syria Daraa region this week seizing two villages east of the strategic M5 highway as it conducted operations against jihadist opposition forces.
But the Syrian operations are not the main offensive according to pro-government sources who say that has not happened yet.
The United States has warned against such an offensive with a new warning yesterday (June 21st) and Israel is closely watching the planned Syrian offensive in regions bordering Jordan and the Golan Heights. Israel has intervened in Syria with attacks based on Iranian forces supporting Syria's fight against al-Qaeda forces, ISIS and other opposition elements.
Weeks ago Russia announced the disengagement of Iranian forces from areas close to Israel's borders. In addition, the Syrian government has announced that only Syrian units are operating in the southwest for the upcoming offensive.
Meanwhile further east Russia has warned of the possibility of a false flag "chemical attack" in Deir Ezzor region further east in Syria to justify US military attacks on Syria.
Thursday night (June 21st) the US launched an air strike on a Syrian outpost near the al-Tanf base on the Iraqi-Syrian border. One Syrian officer was killed.
Fighters from a pro-US group in the region came under attack when the airstrike was called in to support them.
The US base at al-Tanf contains US forces, allied nations forces and local anti-government forces supported by the US.
Last Sunday in the more eastern regions (June 17th) Iraqi fighters helping Syria's government were killed (more than 20) and wounded (more than 10) in an airstrike blamed on the US with a US official telling CNN later that it was an Israeli attack.
