>Russian jets pummel ISIS enclave in Southern Damascus
Huge explosions ripped through the Syrian capital as precise airstrikes hit the last ISIS pocket in southern Damascus.
The last insurgent-controlled enclave outside Damascus has come under heavy artillery and rocket shelling, as well as effective aerial bombardments conducted by Russian fighter jets.
Two depots containing weapons and ammunition were completely destroyed in the bombing.
Meanwhile, the government troops managed to eliminate several ISIS jihadists while attempting to infiltrate the Army positions through a tunnel in Hajar Aswad neighborhood.
A military source said that the Army seeks to fully besiege Hajar Aswad and eventually isolate it from the other jihadi-held Yarmouk Refugee Camp to cut off all supply routes and prevent the militants from moving through.
The government troops launched a full-scale offensive to reclaim the southern districts which are still under ISIS control. With these districts and neighborhoods liberated, the entire Syrian capital will be militants-free.
>Syrian Army advances south of Damascus as offensive continues
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) reportedly pushed through the positions of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL) in the al-Hajar al-Aswad district to the south of Damascus on Saturday, as fighting continued in the area.
Syrian government forces were seen advancing across the rubble-strewn landscape, while mortar and heavy machine gun units were also in action, as smoke billowed over the urban area.
Video inside >Chemical substance of hexamine found in Douma laboratory – Russian MoD
Russian broadcaster VGTRK released video on Friday showing an alleged chemical laboratory in Douma, suspected of belonging to militant group Jaish al-Islam.
According to Russian Defence Ministry’s military expert on radiation, chemical, and biological protection, Alexander Rodionov, “the specialists from radiation, chemical and biological protection’s corpses conducted extra examination in the chemical laboratory discovered in Douma.”
He went on to say that “they discovered a lot of the chemical substance of hexamine that can be used for production of explosives as well as for synthesis of the poisonous substance sarin.”
Several Western powers, led by the United States, claimed chemical substances were used by Syrian government forces on April 7. The claim has been denied by Damascus and Moscow, who called the allegations a “fabrication.”
On April 14 the US, UK and France launched airstrikes against multiple government targets in Damascus as a response to the alleged chemical attack against Syrian civilians.
>OPCW confirms visit to site of alleged chemical attack in Syria
The OPCW confirmed that a team visited the site in Douma where an alleged chemical attack took place. The Russian Foreign Ministry has voiced concerns about the watchdog’s plans to visit fewer sites and speak to fewer witnesses.
On Saturday the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) confirmed on Twitter that its fact-finding mission team “visited one of the sites” in Douma “to collect samples for analysis in connection with allegations of chemical weapons use on 7 April 2018.”
The collected samples will be sent to OPCW’s laboratory in Rijswijk, Netherlands and then “dispatched for analysis to the OPCW’s designated labs,” the mission said in a statement.
The watchdog said it would “evaluate the situation and consider future steps including another possible visit to Douma.”
Whats going on in the (((SDF))) area? Syrian flags being raised in towns and villages all over today, just days after the protests in Hasakah,Raqqa and Al Tabqah along with the temporary forcing out of SDF troops in the village of Mansoura.
Are the Arabs waking up to the Jewish control via the best goys of USA and good puppets in the Kurds?
Why should we? As former supporter of People's Republic of Harkov i respect all separatist movements. If mad karelian girl will find enough supporters - so let it be.
I was reading some article pissing on assad and calling him animal for chem attacks. Noticed pictures, arranged into the line and cut out lines claiming it was Assad. Picture fitted nicely compared to canister on the bed and the hole in concrete it made. But what you know, nobody actually noticed, since we were in full force shill and /ptg/ raid.
Yeah, but they want to go out in a blaze of glory. I hate ISIS, but I respect them way more than the moderate rebels. No fake chemical weapons allegations No quick surrenders They just fight and die It's their thing.
Their official stance is that Israel is bad. But they hardly ever talk about it. Really makes you think.
Josiah Baker
When are they just going to end ISIS already, they've barely had shit for territory for several months now. I want to see Trump take credit for it and piss off the Democrats already.
>I want to see Trump take credit for it and piss off the Democrats already no way, hes too busy sucking netanyahu off

fuk
Isaiah King
haha never, they need ISIS to have a rationale for staying in Syria. Isn't it fun how a war authorisation against terrorism motivates US to keep terrorists around?
My cat died today, lads. And apparently I'm responsible since I brought him to vet very late, only yesterday, while he was showing symptoms of asthma for quite some time, maybe about a month, if not more. He died at 5 AM in my hands. I'm still crying like a little bitch, it was all my fault. Poor kitty only lived 13 years. I had every chance to bring him to vet earlier, but I didn't. I didn't think it was something serious, just maybe some sort of a cat cold or something, he was coughing before too, so I didn't give it much thought. A week ago definite breathing problems started, and I finally set up an appointment with a vet, but it was way too late. Like 2 hours before his death I started to panic, because the symptoms exaggerated dramatically, poor kitty was running all over the place trying to catch a breath. I had started erratically calling local vet emergency services, most of them were unavailable, and one woman vet picked up, she told me that my cat probably has fluid in the lungs and needed immediate care. She told me that she wouldn't be able to come in less than an hour. I was freaked out big time. but at this point cat started breathing a bit better, as if the fit was coming to an end, so I decided hold off the emergency, since we were planning to take the cat straight to vet at 7 AM anyway. Bad mistake on my part. Closer to 5 AM he started panting again, and his condition visibly deteriorated in the matter of minutes. He meowed twice to me and my mom before dying on my hands. He was such a pretty and smart kitty. I don't know why I'm writing all this here in /sg/. I'm in tears and I want to die. I always thought I was a good owner, and here I fucking go — I missed the arrival of a fatal disease right before my own eyes. I always knew I was a dumb faggot, but today it hit me like a truck. I love him so much, rest in peace, Murzik. He will be missed.

uh F Murzik I guess

Don't feel so bad user.All good things must come to an end.
F. i feel ya bro, that's life, it always has it's ups and downs. I don't know how to make you feel better... Here's wishing for you to live happy and not experience such a loss again.
Gavin Reed
He said he only loves his mother more. Probably had no father and was raised like a woman
Wtf do you do when a person close to you dies if a death of a pet brings you such agony? It's sad, yeah, but bawling your eyes out because of it is kinda pathetic, tbf
Chase James
I screwed up, user. I really did. He was so strong, never got sick before. I couldn't believe that he was seriously ill until it was too late. Unless he had cancer or something, it was absolutely my fault for not paying enough attention to all the signs. I should've brought him to the vet weeks ago, if not months. Fuck off. Thank you, anons, I love you guys.

>can delusional, they will lose everything
Kayden Roberts
water in the lungs most likely is a result of heart issues. she would had much longer anyway. if this helps
Jaxson Lewis
13 is quite a long life for any cat. He lived a good life.

>Kinda pathetic Sure thing, heavy Metal Rambo
And i agree that there are people currently experiencing the death of a family member or a close friend, but for some people a pet can bring such joy to their life and it's loss such sadness. We can only have empathy for their loss and help them move on because that's life.
Matthew Hughes
I know your feel, bro. Remember lesson and never repeat these mistakes again, it will be best respect to Murzik.
