As thousands flood the streets in Syria to celebrate the first anniversary of the revolution, the army has intensified preparations for an operation targeting areas under the control of the terrorist organization PKK/YPG. With the deadline given to the PKK-SDG structure approaching, 80,000 soldiers and 7 divisions, which have completed their preparations for a comprehensive operation, will be deployed to the region.
The people of Syria flocked to the squares across the country to mark the first anniversary of the revolution, while the Syrian army showcased its strength with parades.
MAZLUM ABDI OPENLY THREATENED
Syrian security sources interpreted the remarks of SDG leader Mazlum Abdi to the Israeli press on the anniversary of the revolution as "a clear message." According to the same sources, the international recognition of Damascus, the re-authorization of the Syrian army in the fight against ISIS, the cessation of military aid to the PKK-SDG/YPG structure, and the change in Washington's stance have pushed the SDG towards new pursuits. Sources stated that for this reason, the SDG has now openly conducted backdoor contacts with Israel.
DOZENS OF ISIS MEMBERS INFILTRATED
According to a report in Türkiye Gazetesi, Syrian officials claimed that Israel is trying to create a crisis, particularly along the Latakia-Tartus line, by drawing attention to the PKK-SDG line in the north of the country, and that ISIS elements are intended to be transformed into an attack apparatus within this plan. It was alleged that dozens of ISIS members from the Tedmur and Badiye regions have been infiltrated into Jebel Ekrad, Ceble, Tartus, Kırdeha, and Latakia; and that Mahir Assad, Mihraç Ural, and former Baath elements are also planned to be activated on the ground as support for Israel. The source stated, "With the army's move towards the coast, the way to Damascus is intended to be opened for the PKK-SDG. Suwayda will also support this plan with an uprising. We are aware of the plan."
80,000 SOLDIERS TO BE DEPLOYED THIS WEEK
According to information obtained from security units, the Syrian army has completed its preparations for a comprehensive operation following the expiration of the deadline given to the PKK-SDG structure. It is planned to deploy 7 divisions and approximately 80,000 soldiers to this front. It was noted that this number could increase further depending on developments, and that heavy weapons, as well as drones, helicopters, and fighter jets, would be used in the operation. Surveillance flights of UAVs and armed UAVs have been intensified at the Deir ez-Zor, Tishrin-Karakozak, Tabqa, Halsa, Ayn Issa, and Raqqa fronts, while point designations for the advance units have been made.
"AT MOST 20,000 MILITANTS WILL REMAIN IN PKK RANKS"
Mudar Hammad Assad, a prominent figure among the Arab tribes in Syria, stated that SDG leader Mazlum Abdi's claim of "we have 100,000 fighters" does not reflect reality, expressing that if a state of conflict arises in the region, at least 20,000 Arabs will leave the SDG ranks and join the Syrian state. Assad mentioned that with the withdrawal of tribal support, at most 18,000 to 20,000 militants would remain in the PKK ranks, stating, "Abdi Shahin is completely bluffing. They even banned the celebrations on December 8 because they fear it will turn into an uprising. With a call, 300,000 volunteers would rush to the front against the PKK-YPG occupation."
AHMED SHARA ARRIVED AT CELEBRATIONS IN MILITARY CAMOUFLAGE
Syrian President Ahmed Shara participated in the anniversary celebrations of the revolution at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus with the morning prayer. Arriving in military camouflage, Shara read verses from the Surah Al-Fatiha from the pulpit, stating, "O Syrians! Obey me as long as I act in accordance with God's commandments. No power can stop us, regardless of who stands against us."
