Baladi News – (Mohammad Khudair)
The central channel of the Russian Hmeimim Air Base announced on Saturday that an imminent battle against Jobar neighborhood in Damascus is to be waged by Assad’s regime and the allied militias.
The channel admitted that “Jobar is one of the most complex areas in Syria in terms of its strong fortification and the military awareness of its fighters,” and indicated that area could be an option in the coming battle against al-Nusra front.
The announcement could be a massive military preparation for the Iranian and Iraqi militias to storm Jobar under a Russian aerial cover and to pursue evacuation against its residents in order to safeguard Damascus outskirts.
It is noteworthy that Assad’s regime supporters view the central channel on Facebook as an official outlet that speaks in the name of the Russian leadership. Therefore, they started sending reports and complaints in an attempt to approach the Russians the same way they do with Assad’s intelligence.
