#Syria 🇸🇾: "Islamic State" ( #ISIS ) conducted an ambush against #SDF members in Al-Shuhayl, #DeirEzzor.

Militants used a Sawn-off "AKMSU" carbine (7.62x39mm counterfeit AKS-74U) fitted with #Turkey made 🇹🇷 DLG-122 AKSU handguards —which is likely originated from #HTS / #TFSA.

Can’t be grateful enough
In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday.

By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children.

Today, in 2025, that number is *7*

And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology.

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

The current government of #Syria is extremely linked to armed groups some of which are on FTO lists including #HTS. The following interactive graph walks you through the structure of it.

In the past 48 hours, at least 717 Syrians, mostly from the Alawite minority have been brutally killed by Syrian government forces. What many feared has now become a reality.

The Syrian government’s official media claims that “pro-Assad” groups are sabotaging fiber optic cables, causing regional blackouts. However, these areas were targeted at the same time, in a major security operation by Syrian forces, leading to serious violations against civilians.

While I understand the optimism associated with Assad’s fall, don’t miss the fact that Syrian Kurds, central to the defeat of ISIS and consistent US allies, are being attacked and driven from their homes by Turkey in the interregnum. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/w...

I can’t believe this. May the souls of every Syrian who lost their lives in this unjust war rest in peace. Let tomorrow bring peace to all of us—without revenge or civil war.

We are nearing the end of a regime that has ruled our country with an iron fist for 54 years. This family’s brutal grip on power has led to the deaths of thousands of political opposition figures, caused the deaths of half a million people, and forced millions, including myself, into exile.
