https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-prominent-syrian-general-issam-zahreddine-killed-deir-ezzor/The prominent Syrian Arab Army (SAA) officer, Major General Issam Zahreddine, was killed today in Deir Ezzor after his convoy struck a land mine planted by the Islamic State (ISIS). According to a military source, General Zahreddine was conducting a special operation at Saqr Island in Deir Ezzor, when his vehicle struck the land mine. General Zahreddine was the commander of the elite 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard that heroically fought off the Islamic State (ISIS) for several years, while under siege and under supplied.
Along with Brigadier General Suheil al-Hassan, Major General Issam Zahreddine was among the most powerful generals of the Syrian Army. He almost single-handedly defeated the ISIS barbarians in Deir Ezzor region, despite being heavily outnumbered and under-supplied. RIP Issam!
nice to see you again mr coleman... this troll attempt is quite fun. You mean that this guy who went to work for the Hama destroyers is a nice guy to be sad of his death?
Zahreddine was born in the small rural village[7] of Tarba in the As-Suwayda Governorate[8] in 1961.[7] A member of the Druze religious community,[6] he was commissioned as an officer in the Airborne (Special Forces) Armoured units in 1982. Before that he served in the Baath Party's People's Militia (Popular Militia) as a conscript from 1980 to 1982. In 1987, he was inducted into the Republican Guard as an Armoured and Mechanized Units' officer.
Maybe you are not aware through a lack of information and censorship and designed lies that most minority ethnic regime will often find other minority to add to their layers of organization to subjugate the majority population?
But who knows this guy could be a genius syrian baathist firmly believing in the rulership of the assad as the only able ruler of syria...
But why support those who did Hama 1982?
As your collective memory seems to need refreshing, apparently most other posters have been impaired in their history teachings.
The Ba'ath Party of Syria, which advocated the ideologies of Arab nationalism and Arab socialism had clashed with the Muslim Brotherhood, a group with a Sunni Islamist ideology, since 1940.[10] The two groups were opposed in important ways. The Ba'ath party was nominally secular, nationalist. The Muslim Brotherhood, like other Islamist groups, saw nationalism as un-Islamic and religion as inseparable from politics and government. Most Ba'ath party members were from humble, obscure backgrounds and favored radical economic policies, while Sunni Muslims had dominated the souqs and landed power of Syria, and tended to view government intervention in the economy as threatening.[11] Not all Sunni notables believed in fundamentalism, but even those who did not often saw the Brotherhood as a useful tool against the Ba'ath.[12]
Section of Hama before the government attack
The town of Hama in particular was a "stronghold of landed conservatism and of the Muslim Brothers," and "had long been a redoubtable opponent of the Ba'athist state."[10] The first full-scale clash between the two occurred shortly after the 1963 coup, in which the Ba'ath party first gained power in Syria. In April 1964 riots broke out in Hama, where Muslim insurgents put up "roadblocks, stockpiled food and weapons, ransacked wine shops." After an Ismaili Ba'ath militiaman was killed, riots intensified and rebels attacked "every vestige" of the Ba'ath party in Hama. Tanks were brought in to crush the rebellion and 70 members of the Muslim Brotherhood died, with many others wounded or captured, and still more disappearing underground.
Look how similar it is to this syrian war, people protest, gov reply violently, war ensue...
Initial diplomatic reports from western governments in 1982 had stated that 1000 were killed in the fighting.[3][4] Subsequent estimates of casualties varied from 7,000 to 40,000 people killed, including about 1,000 soldiers. Robert Fisk, who was in Hama shortly after the massacre, originally estimated fatalities at 10,000, but has since doubled the estimate to 20,000.[1][19][20] The president's brother Rifaat reportedly boasted of killing 38,000 people.[21] Amnesty International initially estimated the death toll was between 10,000 and 25,000.[7]
Reports by Syrian Human Rights Committee claimed "over 25,000"[22] or between 30,000 and 40,000 people were killed.[6] The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood also suggested a figure of approximately 40,000 victims.[citation needed]
Twenty years later, Syrian journalist Subhi Hadidi, wrote that forces "under the command of General Ali Haydar, besieged the city for 27 days, bombarding it with heavy artillery and tank [fire], before invading it and killing 30,000 or 40,000 of the city's citizens – in addition to the 15,000 missing who have not been found to this day, and the 100,000 expelled.
but I guess you WEREN'T aware...
The Hama massacre is often raised in indictment of the Assad government's poor human rights record.[13][25] Within Syria, mention of the massacre has been strictly suppressed, although the general contours of the events—and various partisan versions, on all sides—are well known throughout the country. When the massacre is publicly referenced, it is only as the "events" or "incident" at Hama.
Anyway, what ever the lines or allies this russian/iranian/shian attempt to prolong the stronghold of damascus is only doomed to fail. How could it otherwise?
furthermore don't forget the little guys...
knowing what only ended up 67 years earliers...
I don't really understand what russian young men are doing in the cluster fuck of epic biblical proportions
what can be so valuable and or serve the interests of russia or the shanghai pact is beyond be...
ahh if the situation wasn't bad enough...
there is :
and it's
anyway I think it's super unfair to send young russians. it's a waste of time, money, blood and treasure. While there may be the soccer in russia, they will be stuck in the dirt with absolutely 0 prospect for an improvement in the situation.
The Shias and Sunnis agree on the natural conquest of the world by the shareeeha while at the same time engaged in ferocious battles while being under constant overbreeding pressures and attempting to offload their surplus to the green pastures of the western world and russia while planing the elimination of all jews from the middle east and beyond.
What the fuck is russia doing here?
And btw what are comrade XI Civilisation doing? Working toward 4 times the US GDP and Capita Parity... yeah yeah...
