SYRIA UPDATE:  SYRIAN ARMY PRESSES ATTACK IN DERAA REGION, SUNDAY ISRAELI SECURITY CABINET MEETING


Air strikes and ground attacks continued on Saturday in the Deraa region with Syrian army forces making gains to the east and the southeast of Deraa city and also northwest of the city.

The advances on the east side of Deraa city bring Syrian army units to within ten miles or less of the Jordanian border.

The Syrian 4th Armored Division is pressing an attack into the city of Deraa itself backed by Russian air strikes.     Link to:  SOUTHRFRONT: DERAA CITY ATTACK

While there's talk of a reconciliation agreement between the United States backed Free Syrian Army with the Assad regime, the Saudi and Qatari backed Al-Qaeda jihadists are still committed to fighting, along with ISIS units in Deraa and the Israel-Golan Heights bordering Quneitra region to the northwest of Deraa.

Some local areas north of Deraa city have agreed to  reconciliation deals which will lead to deployment of Russian military police and Syrian army units into those locations.

A steady stream of articles were published on the Israeli propaganda-disinformation site "DEBKAfile" Saturday June 30th (the Sabbath day) about swelling refugee counts from the Syrian government offensive (220,000 reported), attacks continuing contrary to cease fire claims and one  entitled "Israel security cabinet to discuss preparations for war"-  Link to:ISRAEL SECURITY CABINET PREPARATIONS FOR WAR

Tonight "Ynetnews" reports that six wounded Syrians, including four children, were transferred to Israeli hospitals for treatment Saturday (June 30th)

Reuters reports that Jordan is providing assistance to refugees stranded on the border with Jordan, refugees that country is not allowing in.  Israel shipped humanitarian aid through the Golan Heights into Syria a day or two ago.
