    My comments on preparations for offensive - likely within next 8 weeks: for .

  2. : Watch very carefully how the "Free Army of " is reacted to by Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS). There’s an underlying dynamic here...

  3. : That places Fares al-Bayoush (), Hassan Haj Ali () & Ahmed Saoud () under one command.

  4. After long negotiations, 3 key FSA units are merging in = “Free Army of Idlib" 13th Division Northern Division Liwa Suqor al-Jebel

  5. The were at the scene of Arab Red Crescent director’s charred car. His body is too graphic to show.

  6. activists: More than 100 air strikes have targeted the city & its surroundings since 7pm (in 3hrs 20mins).

  7. : Initial reports suggest 10/20 aid trucks are totally destroyed & all staff are either wounded or dead. The convoy was to feed 78,000.

  8. 22+ killed in heavy airstrikes across city & its countryside since declared the ceasefire over. Aid convoy figures unclear.

  9. Terrible: director of ’s Red Crescent center round Omar Barakat, was killed in strike vs aid convoy:

  10. 1: ends ceasefire. 2: ends ceasefire. 3: comes under air attack. 4: 20-truck aid convoy hit in double-tap strike.

  11. “Our children are taken care of by our government… Your reports are irrelevant to our reality.” The regime:

  12. Reports suggest the “evacuation” of people & fighters from besieged Al-Waer in have been suspended = opposition says “no guarantees."

  13. There you have it... ’s Army has announced the ceasefire is over. Now what?

  14. Per reports, ’s ceasefire has 90mins remaining. 1 week on & *zero* aid has crossed any borders into Syria, for besieged communities.

  15. Food aid to besieged Moadhamiya in was “inspected” by loyalist 4th Mech Div. Everything unpacked, ripped up:

  16. All key armed groups threaten to break ceasefire if regime continues to seek sectarian displacement:

  17. US spent $100millions on vet/train/equipping forces to fight regime since late-2012. Now it pays condolence money for regime troops.

  18. Question: Is it normal for CENTCOM to carry out strikes vs *so* close to regime troop positions? (i.e. Was this air support?)

  19. Jolani says U.S strikes vs. JFS are because JFS is a powerful faction, despite its new “lack of” ties to Al-Qaeda.

  20. Jolani paints recent offensives in as being aimed towards “liberating” city from regime control.
