Syrian Army Says Retakes Key Rebel Area near Damascus

That is absolute nonsense. Another lie by the Syria regime repeated by liar Mystic. Do you how much Diesel would have been required to poison the water supply from an area that has been under siege since 2012!?!! Liar Mystic ... No honor ... No shame ... lies and lies and then double down on lying

Democrat, you are just weaklings live with it Wadi Barada can now be restored.
terrorist, well you had your chance in year 2008 May, how well did that go for you? You were probaly a kid back then too.

They failed in Lebanon, failed in Syria, and they will fail in Yemen too.

Lying Mystic. I was leading the protests in Vancouver against the Israeli attacks on Lebanon in 1996 and 2006. Someone without honor or conscience like you may consider me a weakling. I can never support monsters like you or lie and lie to support 'my side.' And if I can be accused of anything is that it took me a long time to see the evil nature of the Hizb and the regime in Iran. I never had any illusion regarding the regime in Syria. So yes, in your book I am a weakling because I am not a monster like you or the regime you support.

Hypocrite FT - Keep lying. You and your other Iranian drones on this site (likely one or two persons sharing multiple usernames)keep making up lies after lies as if it is a normal process of a discource. I should not be surprised since this is the only way you could justify supporting monster Assad.

the_roar ( flamethrower ) is a Christian and he always condemned assad, lol:)

"39 days to capture 3 villages that were under siege since 2012 involving Assad forces and Hezb Iran militias."

You wish it was faster? Were you impatiently waiting for it to happen and blame the SAA for not acting faster? I understand and respect your humanitarian concerns, after all, 5 million syrians suffered from limited access to water.

PS: Nearly 4000 fighters surrendered in wadi barada, so even though i understand your frustration, i think the SAA did a very good job defeating them in only 39 days.

"The first to leave account for around 400 people who left in 20 buses to go to the jihadist stronghold of Idlib governorate.
[...]
Around 3,500 of the militants are to stay in Wadi Barada as part of an amnesty deal with the Syrian government. Those not originally from the region are the ones being transferred to Idlib."

https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/militants-begin-leaving-wadi-barada-as-reports-of-inter-jihadist-clashes-emerge/

again according to al masdar from iran:)

yes justice, i know it's not as reliable as your kuwaiti papers with their anonymous sources, after all, they only have them all filmed, photographed and listed by name in the amnesty deal.

at least the irani is not quoting "salon.com" on this one lol:)

More lies from the trolls of Iran who all of sudden discovered this post. Your figures about the number of fighters in Wadi Barada is beyond comical and comes from one of the least credible sources. Are you claiming that one of the white helmets killed a kid? You are a liar. Show us the video. And if it happens to be true, I will condemn the perpetrators. Your regime is documented to have liquidated tens of thousands of people and you support it. No shame. No honor. And to top it compulsive liars.

surely if the government inflated the numbers and added fake names to the amnesty deal your proud rebels will denounce and deny it, right? and surely when they do you will share with us the ardent denial. in the mean time keep barking, if you had a shred of honor or shame you would rejoice that 5 million syrians (those you so emotionally claim to care about) now have access to safe drinking water.

Hypocrite Mowaten .... You could care less for the population of Damascus. The springs were barrel bombed by the Assad airforce and the video is available online as well as images of before and after the bombing. People can check for the video on Al Jazeera you tube channel or Al twitter account of Al madiq. As for the video you claim showing the white helmets killing children, I dare you to produce it. Liar Mowaten Irani has no had honor and no shame.

As for the rest of your post, it make no sense. As for barking, it is a huge step from the honorless monster that you are.

I am not the one who mentioned white helmets here, but I'm glad to provide you with this link to a study exposing their deep links with terror groups and their involvement in terrorist activities and executions
http://21stcenturywire.com/2015/10/28/part-ii-syrias-white-helmets-war-by-way-of-deception-moderate-executioners/

now your turn: please link me to the videos of barrel bombing of the springs, and explain to me the link with the diesel that was poured into the water stream.

Mowaten ... Are you serious about the link you provided. Is this your source of information !!!! This is one of the outlets funded by Russia and the article show nothing. As for the accusation of child killing, it was your other account. I encourage people to read former British officer analysis of the competing claims of Wadi Barada
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2017/01/04/wadi-barada-happened-damascuss-water/ . It clearly shows the before and after picture of the bombing and a video of the barrel bombing of the site.

As well, people can examine the main stories and reports on the web site I provided and the trash site he provided. The site I provided show real analysis and take all sides to task while his is pure propaganda filled with conspiracy nonsense. I urge everyone to examine both.

LOOOOOOOOL so you just dismiss the dozens of documented cases, and crystal clear videos showing members of the white helmets involved in war crimes or cozying up with terrorists, just because you dont like the website? what a joke you are, there is no point wasting time debating with someone like you. hypocrite and dishonest.

as for your "analysis" by a "british intelligence officer" the best it can do is suggest there was a bombing near the facility, not on it, and that still doesnt disprove the fact that the terrorists poured diesel in the water source. actually, the fact that they were occupying the water facility is reason enough to bomb it, so your british propaganda article does nothing.

"so you just dismiss the dozens of documented cases, and crystal clear videos"

looool crystal clear videos shot in 4k too by his terror militia and master assad.

heretic devil worshiper!

I urge everyone here to examine both websites and see which one is credible and which one is not. What Mowaten small brain fails to understand is that it is practically impossible for the rebels to have poisoned the water with Diesel for such an extended period of time. The amount needed would have been massive considering that the area has been under siege since 2012 (this is not a matter of debate for sane people. It is a matter of practicality. It simply is not.)!! When the regime could not sustain this propaganda, they switched within days to claiming that the rebel blew up the pumps.

Then Mowaten moves from ignorance to outright lies. He states that " the best it can do is suggest there was a bombing near the facility, not on it,". NONSENSE here what the writer stated (backed with videos and satellite images) "There is also a video which shows a bomb of some sort striking very close to the spring structure ... This puts the impact point within 80 meters of the main spring structure, and makes it a likely culprit for the crater seen in the 29/12/2016 satellite imagery ... The video also shows a second bomb falling, and impacting on the spring structure itself ... "

Arabdemocrat.com

don't waste your breath or precious time on this iranian filth. His sectarian hate overshadows any logic. He is the one that said and still says assad never used barrel bombs, he is the one that denied that his terror iranian militia was fighting in Syria, Iraq, or Yemen. He and his tens of aliases and fake accounts have no credibility and remember the world does not source its news from the filth he writes or from his masdar.com and salon.com.

He is a paid propagandist known by everybody who reads or visits this forum. Actually, he thrives when you engage him because you give him the chance to post his propaganda.

notice he is still posting at 4 in the morning Beirut time. Is that the behavior of someone who has a normal job?

Hizb, Iran, the Assad regime and Russia employ trolls that put out propaganda on websites and on social media. I would not be surprised if he is one of them

arabdemocrat: yes, let's let "sane people" make up their own mind. you in the mean time, can keep pretending you believe the syrian govt would destroy its own water supply and endanger 5 million of its own supporters only to make a news headline it never needed in the first place. what next, they attacked themselves in palmyra to disrupt their own access to oil and gas and freeze their own people during the coldest months of the year? you like to pretend to have a brain, act like you have one.

liberty: lol the bedtime police thing is getting old, no to mention you have no idea which time zone i am in.

but the filthy iranian troll keeps claiming he is lebanese and lives in lebanon. Now, he says "liberty: lol the bedtime police thing is getting old, no to mention you have no idea which time zone i am in."

lol @exfpm

and he has the nerve to accuse others of being israelis etc. when he himself is not Lebanese and does not live in Lebanon:) Posting at 4 in the morning is not new for this sicko. I caught him many times too.

you guys realize being Lebanese and travelling outside lebanon is not mutually exclusive? lol at dumbos and trolls trying to attack me on such insignificant details, this is testament to how little you have to say on the matters at hand.

@mowateh; we all know you're not lebanese, the only question is whether you're either shia iranian or shia yemeni, so it begs the question: why are you here all day and all night every day posting sectarian incitement?

dont be so pathetic. when you have nothing to say, say nothing. trolls will speak of everything except the points that matter.

posting 15 hours ago, 14, 13, 12, 11, until this minute! what kind of life do you have mowaten? and that's only on this article!

Factual and Courageous
Truthful and unwavering
Always going where no one else dares

@mowaten
What can one say, another E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T comment. I particularly enjoyed the part where you said " no to mention you have no idea which time zone i am in. "

Thank you for making this forum lovely, lively and vibrant.
Still laughing since January 2015 when you said the $3 billion Saudi grant was only to teach our soldiers the French language.

Thank you
Yours Sincerely
@CFTC

Which country are you a mowaten of? Iran, Syria, Iraq or Yemen.... Certainly not Lebanon oh NO!

Mowaten is the modern day version of Joseph Goebbels who said “ “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
if you don't know who I mean ..you should !
look it up

Mowaten Irani .... You have been shown yet again to be a liar. And people will make up their mind. And yes, it is overwhelmingly clear to everyone except paid propagandists like you that it is the Assad regime that bombed the pumps destroying the water supply to the city.

It is the regime that bombed the water supply of the city and destroyed the pumps and at several occasions the rebels offers to let crews in to fix the pumps. Yet again, you prove you are a liar without shame or honor.

Spare us your moderate versus non-moderate nonsense. You could care less about the Sunnis in Damascus. We see that through your lack of concern when Assad obliterate neighborhoods that fall under the control of the opposition.

lol @ the illiterate Southern:)

Besieging entire cities, starving them, depriving them of basic medical needs is fine by you ya irani takiah practicer. Omran and his dead brother were fake according to you. No children were ever killed in Aleppo is something you have repeatedly posted.

Now go pray to your devil and ask for forgiveness ya heretic.

he was not a kid, he looked like a kid. He was actually 27 years old and an intelligence employee as per his military ID.

Yeah, with a majority Sunni government and army, I see it's already a fact...
