Syrian Holocaust Continues as US-Russian-Regime Air Strikes, and Militia Attacks Continue on Sunni Muslim Arab Cities and Villages

October 11, 2017 

Editor's Note:

The coalition which fights the Islamic State and other Sunni groups in Syria consists of US-led NATO forces, Russian forces, Syrian Alewite government forces, Iranian-backed Shi'i militias, and Kurdish peshmerga forces. The coalition's continuous attacks have resulted in the killing of thousands of Iraqi and Syrian Sunni Muslim Arabs and the eviction of millions of them as a result of the destruction of their cities and villages.

The end outcome is going to be the weakening and possible dismantling of Iraqi and Syrian states as well as the eviction (ethnic cleansing of) Sunni Muslim Arabs, particularly from the upper Euphrates region of northwestern Iraq and northeastern Syria. 

The larger context for understanding the Syrian war (and other wars in the Middle East) is that it contributes to the implementation of the Zionist-Israeli plan of destroying the Arab Middle Eastern states in preparation for the establishment of the greater Israeli empire, from the Nile of Egypt to the Euphrates of Iraq.

Dair Ezzoar (Syria News) --

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced, on Tuesday, that its warplanes are carrying out 150 air strikes, on daily basis, on the Islamic State-held areas in Mayadin City, in the eastern countryside of Dair Ezzoar.

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, Igor Konashinkov, said in a statement that the ministry has observed attempts to move the Islamic State militants, including foreign fighters, from Iraq to Syria.

The air strikes are part of a military operation conducted by the Syrian regime forces, backed by the Russian Air Forces, to recapture the city of Mayadin and al-Omar oil field, located in eastern Dair Ezzoar.

The Russian warplanes destroyed the funding resources of the Islamic State group, and now aiming at foiling the radical group attempts to extract oil from their-held areas, in the Syrian territory, Konashinkov added.

In addition, the ministry also accused the US-led coalition of lessening the number of its air strikes on the Islamic State headquarters in Iraq, after the Syrian army launched an offensive to liberate the city of Dair Ezzoar in Syria.

It is noteworthy that the Islamic State militants are suffering due to the heavy strikes of the army troops and Syrian Democratic Forces, which are conducted on several areas, in the countryside of Dair Ezzoar.
