FYI This guy was one of “Suheil’s Angels” featured in those Epstein-like pictures of young men who were highly speculated to have been groomed and sexually exploited by Assadist Major General and commander of the ‘Elite’ (widely disputed) Tiger Forces, Suheil Al Hassan.
Leader of an Assadist cell has been eliminated this morning during a counter-terrorism operation in #Tartus countryside.
Alawite insurgent-linked sources are blaming their own community for the success of the operation in locating him (he was previously in Lebanon).
He survived a shooting last month in the same area in what is believed to be a drug-related case that left several dead.
@Idlibie if america can't compete with china in the EU a market where people have 20x the income of the avarge syrian, they will never be able to compte in Syria,I'm sorry but what is syria gonna buy from the US that it can't get from china at a way higher quality to dollar ratio?
The EU moves like a glacier on most foreign policy files.
But when it finally warms up, it tends to pick the right direction.
After months of quiet talks, Brussels is now preparing a real upgrade in ties with #Syria: reintegrating the country into Euro-Mediterranean cooperation framework, Police training support & a possible EU-Syria investment conference in 2027.
UE will also provide $718 million for 2026–2027 focused on humanitarian aid & socio-economic recovery.
Syria's reconstruction is a massive opportunity & some countries already started positioning themselves.
Brussels will get in - the real question is if it will lead on anything.
This doesn't make headlines, but "#Syria without camps" is moving - and steadily.
Not just Idlib & Aleppo.
Hasakah & Raqqa too.
10,000+ people returned home so far this month (nearly 1,000 per day).
Return is a precondition for rebuilding - lives & homes.
I always find it so baffling how The US is happy to use its free will to let China trample all over them in the imports/exports market of the 8th most populous country in the MENA region
Chinese exports dominating Syrian market while our own @BISgov prohibits our companies from exporting by keeping Syria on outdated list E with North Korea, Iran, and Cuba. American companies want to compete in Syria!!!!
Significant.
For the 1st time, a French La Fayette class Frigate docked into #Latakia port in #Syria — paying a visit to the Syrian Navy & met on arrival by #France’s Charge d’Affairs @JBaptisteFaivre.
So long as the Hezbollah-infested Lebanese government refuses to extradite Syrian war criminals at the request of the legitimate Syrian government, I support the notion of Syria launching covert ops in Lebanon to exfiltrate Assadists by themselves.
Suleiman Assad will finally be tried in absentia in #Syria.
This likely indicates that Lebanon rejected Syria's extradition request.
As highlighted before, Lebanon remains fractured between those seeking active cooperation with Damascus, sometimes resulting in rare compromises, and the other camp (which includes Hezbollah), which opposes any agreement that could benefit - in one way or another - Damascus.
This also means that Kayali's case is unlikely to remain an exception.
Damascus is lucky it can't afford Laura Loomer.
#Syria is one of the rare files where Trump actually ignores her nonstop Islamophobic & pro-Israeli takes.
Unlike AIPAC lobby, every $ actually matters when you're rebuilding a country.

My name is Ahmed Moor and I’m running for US Senate here in PA (election 2028). I’m running to end the war in Iran and to promote the dignity agenda: free healthcare, free childcare, and affordable housing.
I’m calling for accountability for genocide, for ICE and for corruption. And finally, for the protection of our civil liberties in America. Join the fight at https://t.co/gM0uBwST6b
