¿Por qué ha sido enviado el Tigre a la provincia de Hama?



El coronel Suhail Hassan, conocido con el nombre de El Tigre, ha sido enviado desde Alepo a Hama para hacer frente allí a los intentos del Frente al Nusra de avanzar en esta provincia.

La decisión no es extraña. El Tigre sabe bien cuando atacar y no ha perdido ninguna batalla. Él determina siempre el tiempo y el lugar donde el choque va a tener lugar e impone al enemigo una opción sencilla: la muerte o la rendición.

El Tigre consiguió en los últimos meses notables victorias en el Frente de Alepo, incluyendo la toma de la Ciudad Industrial y el levantamiento del cerco a la Prisión Central, contribuyendo así a liberar amplias zonas de esta provincia y produciendo los avances que han llevado al Ejército sirio a un punto cercano al establecimiento de un asedio a los barrios del Este de la ciudad en poder de los grupos armados.

Este militar no tiene un estilo propio de lucha sino que se caracteriza por la renovación de ideas y la búsqueda de nuevos métodos de combate con un sólo pensamiento en mente: la victoria. Su traslado a la provincia de Hama tiene como fin neutralizar las acciones allí del Frente al Nusra y sus intentos de tomar algunas localidades, incluyendo la de Maharda.

Es de prever que, junto a un incremento de los ataques aéreos, el Tigre lleve a cabo operaciones que obliguen a las fuerzas enemigas a desperdigarse por vastas áreas con el fin de diluir su fuerza. En las últimas dos semanas, se calcula que los ataques aéreos han causado la muerte a varios cientos de militantes debido a su precisión e intensidad.

La derrota del enemigo en la provincia de Hama tendrá también un reflejo importante, en especial en los frentes de Alepo e Idleb.

En la provincia, los combates se producen alrededor de tres ejes. El primero de ellos es la ciudad de Mork. Ésta ha sido tomada en gran parte por el Ejército, que ha impuesto un asedio a los militantes que se encuentran en su interior. Es de prever que la estrategia del Tigre sea la de debilitar a los grupos armados que se hallan en la ciudad medinte el fuego de artillería y los bombardeos de la aviación.

El segundo eje se extiende alrededor de las localidades de Qamhana, Jataaba y Shiha, donde se han producido también progresos acompañados de ataques artilleros y de la aviación. El objetivo de estas operaciones es el de eliminar al mayor número posible de militantes.

El tercer eje es el Jataba – Kfar Tun, que es el más importante e incluye la defensa de la localidad de Maharda, de mayoría cristiana, que se ha convertido en un objetivo prioritario del Frente al Nusra. El líder de este grupo terrorista, Abu Mohammed Yulani, dio en persona la orden de tomarla en un discurso pronunciado ante sus hombres la pasada semana. El ataque comenzó mediante el lanzamiento de cohetes Grad contra puntos clave de la ciudad y posiciones del Ejército. La defensa de la ciudad está a cargo de tropas desplegadas en ella y miembros de las Fuerzas de Defensa Nacional, que son sobre todo residentes locales.

Las experiencias de Siria e Iraq muestran la incapacidad de los grupos armados de lograr una victoria cuando se implican unidades de la Defensa Nacional en los combates junto al Ejército, y en especial si ellas están compuestas por residentes.

La batalla de Maharda no es la primera batalla que libran el Frente al Nusra y el Tigre, que ha derrotado ya a dicho grupo en varios enfrentamientos anteriores, que fueron más importantes incluso que los que tienen lugar en la actualidad en la provincia de Hama. Sin embargo, el Tigre y sus hombres, junto con las Fuerzas de Defensa Nacional, están ya listos para lanzar próximas operaciones que llevarán a la eliminación de miles de terroristas y a la liberación de la totalidad de la provincia de Hama.

Top al-Qaeda Commander, Abu Malik al-Shahri, Slained in Syria



Published on Aug 11, 2013

Abu Malik al-Shahri, known as Bin Laden of Syria has been killed by Syrian forces in Latakia countryside. He was originally from Saudi Arabia and a student of Osama Bin Ladan. He reportedly slaughtered scores of civilians and government forces across Syria. The country has the upper hand in the battle against foreign-backed insurgents fighting the government. Syria has been in turmoil since March 20-11. According to the UN, more than 100-thousand people have been killed and millions more displaced in the violence there. Certain Western countries and their regional allies have openly sponsored the insurgency in Syria.


Abu Omar al-Chechani, a fighter of Al Qaeda Organization, has participated “Jihad” in Chechnya and Afghanistan and came to Syria to fight alongside with al-Nusra; he was the commander of the attack that has been initiated by radical extremist Islamic battalions on the military airport of Ming in Aleppo countryside. -

Jabhat al-Nusra with Foreign Weapons

More evidence of Jabhat al-Nusra militants using foreign weapons has emerged. Among the deluge of videos and images uploaded on a regular basis, the following images were spotted by Syria Report showing militants allegedly fighting in Busra al-Sham (Arabic: بصرى‎). The town in southern Syria, is conveniently located in Dara’a province close to the border with Jordan which harbours critical supply lines of both militants and weapons.

Three days ago, an article by Syria Report detailed the activities of militant groups in the south. An organisation calling itself the Yarmouk Martyrs brigade, famous for abducting UN personnel on two occasions, stealing UN vehicles and executing captured soldiers – received foreign weapons. Evidence suggests that a myriad of insurgent groups have received foreign weapons from Croatia in an operation coordinated by the United States, Turkey, Jordan & Saudi Arabia.

The arms trafficking was implemented with at least 160 military cargo flights from Croatia, as reported by the New York Times following an exposé by a Croatian newspaper.

The weapons transported to factions were the M79 Osa anti-tank weapon, the RBG-6 grenade launcher, the M60 recoilless rifle, and the RPG-22. Each of these has been spotted hundreds of times in footage uploaded by some of Syria’s myriad of militant organisations, of which there are said to be over a thousand. Indeed, the weapons are all currently used by the Croatian military. Additionally, it should be noted that several other types of foreign-produced weapons have been spotted in Syria, such as assault rifles and sniper rifles.

Recently, a number of images uploaded by Jabhat al-Nusra indicated skirmishes with Syrian forces in Busra al-Sham, close to the border with Jordan. In the images, the M60 recoilless anti-tank rifle, included in the foreign effort to arm insurgents, can be seen:



This isn’t the first instance of Jabhat al-Nusra being seen operating weapons, in their possession most likely as a result of the operation to arm militant groups.

The following image from February shows a Jabhat al-Nusra militant handling a M79 Osa anti-tank weapon. The image was included with a statement posted on an global Jihadist online forum, which detailed an insurgent operation involving a number of allied groups. The reality of of co-operating insurgent factions, increasingly under the command of Jabhat al-Nusra, casts significant doubt on American statements regarding “identifying” and arming the “right” groups. The reality also underlines the doubts and fears felt by many, firstly, that militant groups are untrustworthy, extremist in their outlook, ideology and operation, and have committed countless war crimes. Indeed, the nature of the armed opposition vindicates comments by Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad who spoke of the multiple terror groups who have no political platform to speak of.

On 2 March, another operation in Dara’a province by Jabhat al-Nusra and other groups, shows a M60 recoilless gun being used to attack an army outpost, Hajez Barad, in Busr al-Harir. Again, this type of weapon was part of the global and regional operation to arm militant groups in Syria.



In the video below, from Al-Jazeera Arabic, the M79 Osa anti-tank weapon can be seen, in the hands of a Jabhat al-Nusra insurgent.



All of the images and footage substantiate a January report from Alikhbaria Syria, showing a massive seizure of some of the arms destined for militants. The seizure was made in Dara’a, again, close to the border with Jordan and the same region in which Jabhat al-Nusra and other Jihadist groups have been spotted with the weapons.

Syria Report will continue to monitor media channels and post further sightings of foreign arms in the hands of militant groups.
