Both reports are from FARs; the first one, published Monday, quotes Sputnik's Arabic-language news agency as does the second report, published yesterday.
With the Southern offensive wrapping up, the SAA must now move as quickly as possible to retake Ilib because of the large number of atrocities against civilians that terrorist groups have committed in the effort to derail peace talks, most recently in Daraa. As the second report mentions the groups are stuffed with imported foreign fighters, who don't hesitate to massacre unarmed Syrian civilians.
But there has been progress with the peace talks in Idlib, as the FARS/Sputnik reports indicate and if the cooperation between Syria's government and Idlib civilians continues to increase, this can avert considerable bloodshed during the Idlib offensive. I suspect the civilians were told lies in earlier years about how the government would treat them if they cooperated -- and most certainly those civilians risked their lives, and still do, to reach out the government.
500 Regions in Idlib Join Gov't Peace Plan; July 16, FARS:
TEHRAN (FNA)- Hundreds of towns and villages in Idlib province have joined the Syrian government's peace plan as the army is terminating military operations in Dara'a and plans to start the battle against the terrorists in Idlib.
The Arabic-language website of Sputnik news agency quoted Sheikh Saud al-Mobarak, a member of Idlib's peace committee, as saying that 500 villages and towns have joined the national peace plan in coordination with the Syrian government and supervision of the Russian delegation and after continued talks and contacts with the residents of different towns in Idlib province.
He added that the process of peace negotiations had started 1.5 years ago in several regions of Idlib, saying that residents of several villages and towns in Idlib have held protest rallies against the presence of the terrorists, specially the foreigners who have looted their properties and lands.
Sheikh Saud said that implementation of the peace plan in the province is aimed at preventing clashes and protecting the residents of the two towns of Fua'a and Kafrya which have repeatedly been targeted by terrorists in the past few years.
The Syrian army has earned control over a sum of 90% of Dara'a province and started military operations in Quneitra.
Commanders of the terrorist groups in Northern Syria are showing clear signs of concerns over the growing number of the militants who are demanding endorsement of peace with the Damascus government.
Abdullah Muhammad al-Muhaysini, the former commander of Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front), cautioned on Wednesday against the growing number of the militants asking for the endorsement of the peace plan in Northern Syria, calling for their trial and punishment.
Also, Abdolrazaq al-Mahdi, the Mufti (religious leader) of another terrorist group in Northern Syria, warned of the dire situation in Northern Syria, calling on the militants to unite to stand against the Syrian army's imminent operations in the region.
The Syrian army will soon start military operations in Idlib after fully cleansing Southern Syria of terrorists, reports said.
[END REPORT]
The Arabic-language website of Sputnik news agency quoted Commander of Bani Izz tribal forces Sheikh Ahmed al-Mobarak as saying on Thursday that thousands of trained forces are waiting for the start of the Syrian army's operations against the terrorist groups in Idlib.
He added that thousands of residents of Idlib have supported the Syrian army since the start of the war in the country, and said all tribal forces have received military training for the battle, specially against the foreign terrorist groups including the Chechens, Uzbeks and Uyghurs stationed in Idlib province.
Al-Mobarak said that the tribal forces have participated so far in several battles, including in Southeastern Idlib, and foiled the terrorists' attacks despite the fact that the militants used armored Turkish vehicles and resorted to suicide attacks and bomb-laden vehicles.
