The Silent Front: Syrian Army Advances in Southeast Hasakah
Two days after the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) launched an offensive in southeast Al-Hasakah, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Kata’eb Al-Ba’ath – countered with an assault of their own, capturing eight villages on Monday and two more on Tuesday after fierce clashes with the militant group.
After securing the Mafraq Petrol Factory and Al-Salihiyah, the SAA and their allies pushed east towards Nariyah, Hamer Al-Sharqiyah, and Gheirha, where they were successful in taking full control of the villages, while cutting off the ISIS militants from the strategic road leading to the town of Al-Houl.
According to a military source, the Syrian Armed Forces’ counter-assault against the ISIS militants in southeast Al-Hasakah is considered much more of a defensive tactic than an offensive, as the primary objective was described to Al-Masdar News as the expansion of their buffer-zone around the provincial capital’s southern flank.
The source further added that ISIS suffered a high casualty count for the second straight day, as the SAA killed as many as 30 enemy combatants, including ‘Issa Ziad Al-Thawrah, Hussein Mohammad Yasseen, Wasseem Bashir Al-Sinaan, Nasser Fares Abu Layal, Mohammad ‘Abdel-Razzaq ‘Abdullah, Mohammad Kareem ‘Aadel, “Abu ‘Usama Al-Iraqi”, and Qusay Lu’ayy Jasseem.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Armed Forces suffered a total of 19 soldiers killed-in-action (KIA) and another 9 were reportedly wounded during the last two days of this battle in Al-Hasakah.
A horrific scene was discovered at the Al-Hasakah Dam on Tuesday, as a mass grave filled with almost 280 bodies was unearthed by local civilians near the Stone Quarries; this is believed to be the remains of Iraqi civilians executed by ISIS.

The Islamist coalition assault began at 7 A.M. on Tuesday morning, when the militants from the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham attacked the village of Hosh Al-Zebleh, resulting in the capture of the Zighbou and Madajana Checkpoints at the eastern flank.
Despite their capture of these two checkpoints, the militants from Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Jabhat Al-Nusra were unable to infiltrate into Hosh Al-Zebleh, as NDF reinforcements poured-in to repel the enemy combatants swarming the village.
South of Host Al-Zebleh, the militants from Ahl Al-Sunnah and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham attempted to breach the NDF’s frontline defenses at Jiboreen; however, once again, they were unsuccessful in penetrating the NDF’s frontline fortifications.
The attacks did not stop there, Jabhat Al-Nusra and Jaysh Al-Tawheed attacked the SAA’s positions at Kafr Naan, and Kayseen, attempting to overwhelm the latter with superior numbers and heavy artillery from nearby Al-Houla; this was not enough to soften the SAA’s defenses, as the attack was repelled.
Rebel social media activists are reporting that six Islamist groups participating in this offensive in west Homs: Ajnad Homs, Faylaq Homs, Jaysh Al-Tawheed, Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, Ahl Al-Sunnah and Jabhat Al-Nusra.
According to a military source in the Homs Governorate, the Islamist groups suffered over 30 casualties during the first day of their offensive; this number included the following identified militants: Zaher Ayoub, Ahmad Qassim Sweiss, ‘Abdel-Salaam Al-Barini, Shafeeq Talib, Mohammad Abu Al-Sha’ar, Mohammad Al-Sheikh, “Abu Hamza Al-Ayoubi”, Mahmoud Dala’, ‘Abdel-Rahman Al-Sheikh, and ‘Abdel-Baqi Dala’.
Sources in Damascus have reported a large convoy of Syrian Arab Army reinforcements heading north towards the Homs Governorate in order to repel this Islamist offensive – their arrival was confirmed at 7:30 P.M. Damascus Time.

On Tuesday, the Syrian Arab Army’s “Tiger Forces” – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) – launched a fierce counter-assault at Masayabeen, resulting in the death of a number of armed militants from the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” before the Syrian Armed Forces were able to take full control of this village near the provincial capital of Idlib.
Upon securing Masayabeen, the Tiger Forces and NDF advanced to the strategic hill overlooking this village, where they continued their counter-offensive geared to recapture the territory lost to the militants from Jabhat Al-Nusra near the Qarmeed Camp (Brick Factory); this attack was successful for the Tiger Forces and NDF, as they secured the hill of Tal Masayabeen 45 minutes later.
With Masayabeen and Tal Masayabeen under the Syrian Armed Forces’ control, the SAA’s 87th Brigade of the 11th Tank Division was able to continue their momentum near Al-Mastoumah, capturing the village of Al-Harsh after engaging Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Ajnad Al-Sham in a series of intense firefights on Tuesday afternoon.
To counter the Syrian Armed Forces’ success at Al-Mastoumah, the militants from Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Jund Al-Aqsa stormed the 87th Brigade’s defensive positions at the western flank of Tal Ma’ar Tab’i, where they were able to take control of the hilltop before nightfall dissipated the fighting at this hill near the strategic city of Ariha.
Despite the constant fighting at Tal Ma’ar Tab’i, the Islamist forces from Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Jund Al-Aqsa have been unsuccessful in their attempt to break-through the SAA’s defensive fortifications at this integral hill that overlooks the city of Ariha.
The militants from Jabhat Al-Nusra and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham launched another powerful attack on the SAA’s positions at the heavily fortified Jisr Al-Shughour National Hospital; however, this assault proved unsuccessful for the Islamist fighters, as the SAA’s 87th Brigade was able to seal-off the southern flank’s defensive barriers.

Jedoch habe ich ein ganz mieses Gefühl, was die nahe Zukunft hier betrifft.
Sie scheint nichtmehr in der Lage, Offensiven auszuführen.
Wir müssen auf Verstärkungen aus Deir Ez Zor warten,
Bis die ISIS Pest dort vertrieben wurde und Truppen stehen noch beim Gasfeld in Shaer al Homs.
