Another major ammunition depot explosion in Syria, this time near Aleppo. This pattern looks suspicious. Many suspects Israel behind it. This needs to be investigated seriously.

Loud explosions reported in a military ammo depot near Al-Rabi’ah east Hama. Cause unknown.

At least 14 people are dead and 11 wounded after an ordnance depot explosion near Sarmada. This keeps happening. What is it going to take for the MOD to finally take stockpile safety seriously?

[Charles Lister @Charles_Lister]

Three #Syria Defense Ministry arms depots have exploded in 11 days — in #Idlib (Sep 9), Deir ez Zour (Sep 18) & tonight in #Aleppo.

It’s still summer weather in #Syria, and storage practices could be better — but 3 in 11 days seems too much to be coincidence.

Big questions.

Washington telling local Suwayda factions to abandon their 'knee-jerk reflex' and leave enforcement entirely to the Syrian government.

[Ambassador Tom Barrack @USAMBTurkiye]

We are dismayed by the renewed escalation in Suwayda.

Nearly a year ago, alongside Syrian Foreign Minister al-Shaibani and Jordanian Foreign Minister Safadi, we put our signatures to a trilateral roadmap for peace in Suwayda: a path to the dignified reintegration of the province into Syria, with the full rights and the full obligations of citizenship for its Druze community. That path remains the only one that leads anywhere but back to grief.

Syria’s Druze are a people of noble and ancient history. Yet where governance is absent, gangs fill the void, and today a very few with toxic motives are turning on their own, men such as Atef Hunaidi, arbitrarily detained and driven from his home. Our team is in contact with Mr. Hunaidi and with others caught in this campaign of intracommunal violence. Cooperation among the Druze, the Arab tribes, and the neighboring nations along Suwayda’s borders must continue to be built in threads of tolerance and understanding: one nation and one people, of diverse and respected cultures and faiths, interacting through communal dialogue and empathy, and leaving the kinetic, knee-jerk reflex where it belongs, in the hands of the nation-state alone.

The Syrian government has begun to confront the grave crimes committed by its forces last July and to hold those responsible to account before its courts. That is the direction of hope, and it must continue. The only way forward is a dialogue that delivers accountability, restores security, and opens the road for the displaced to return and for what was destroyed to be rebuilt.

This is a sensitive hour, in the neighborhood and in the world. We urge upon all parties the two disciplines that peace has always asked of the brave: restraint in action, and communication in
earnest. The alternative to talking is not victory. It is only the next round of mourning.

Read the room.

One camp in Washington and the other camp clearly working remotely from Tel Aviv.

[Dr Walid Phares @WalidPhares]

Two views on Syria in Washington

There is clearly a division in Washington over perceptions of the nature of the HTS-led regime in Damascus and the identity and future of the Druze community in southern Syria.

One camp considers the current regime in Damascus to have been “fully transformed” from a jihadi movement into a “liberal” government, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. The other camp views the same regime as still actively jihadi, operating under a more moderate façade. The massacres on the Syrian coast and in Suwayda provide ample evidence supporting the concerns of the latter camp.

One camp wants the Druze, Alawites, Christians, Kurds, and moderate Sunnis to be absorbed into the jihadi-led regime and ultimately lose their distinct identities. The other camp supports these communities’ right to defend themselves against genocide and to preserve and represent their own identities.

I support the second camp within the United States, and I believe that a majority of Americans share this view.

Israel is also bot happy about it. While Arab states and Turkey build direct overland routes through Syria and Jordan linking the Gulf to Europe, Israel remains geographically isolated from the network.

[Ramiz Al Mousa @ramizalmousa]

While everyone talks about oil, Syria's commercial land route bypasses Hormuz, Bab alMandeb and Suez, stripping Egypt and Iran of long-term power.
In addition to ideological differences, this economic shift cld partially explains Egypt's hostile stance toward the new Syrian gov.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Trump on the Strait of Hormuz:

Pipelines are being built right now. The road through Syria is being built; it's open, actually. People are taking trucks through Syria — massive trucks with oil in them.

A lot of alternatives are being made to the Strait of Hormuz.

The Strait of Hormuz is not what it used to be.

Resistards completely lost it

[Ramiz Al Mousa @ramizalmousa]

People seem to forget that the rift with Suwayda didn’t start with the July clashes.
Hijri rejected Syria's new gov from day one as untrustworthy terrorists. Under Israeli direction, he sabotaged Damascus integration and broke peace deals just to carve out a separate enclave.

[Ramiz Al Mousa @ramizalmousa]

Followed the Syrian war for yrs. Like many, it brought me loss, anxiety, and depression.
I never liked SDF’s choices, especially in Aleppo. Yet, watching today’s events in disbelief, a long road of tough choices led here. Mazloum played a key role. Choosing peace takes real guts.

[Ziya Meral @Ziya_Meral]

Just a humble reminder.. Difficult to believe for some DC based wonks and narrative promoters.. But Turkish policies on Syria have never been about Israel.. It was first about future of Syria, then PKK, then return of large no of refugees, then stabilisation and maximising opportunities, having influence in its future, minimising Russia and Iran presence, not letting US simply push costly agendas without its concerns being heard.. Portraying what Ankara has been after as if it was same as what Iran wanted, ie, use and positioning of proxy networks on borders to use as leverage against Israel, is neither genuine nor based on reality.. Even at height of so many tensions last two decades, Ankara chose quiet diplomacy and easing of relations as traditionally since 1950 Turkey, including in AKP era, saw benefit in working relations with Israel and never joined or supported wars against it.. Now, with an Israeli strike for no reason but making a point, we are entering a new era of high risk geopolitical competition, amplified and cheered on social media, with two nations and Syria and wider region facing a lot of costs and risks.. Add this Israel’s new focus on Greece and Cyprus as the much used Kurdish card weakend against Turkey, Ankara is increasingly seeing Israel from a lense way beyond its traditional sensitivity on Palestine.. And a pro advice: no one who simply says “Erdogan wants” as an analysis of Turkish foreign policy at this conjunction is worth you following or reading or interviewing. Turkish foreign, defence and security policies are more complex in formulation and execution than ever..

Proud to have witnessed up close the diplomacy & tireless work led by @AH_AlSharaa & @AsaadHShaibani that brought us to this moment — generations of Syrians have been waiting for.

A historic day for Syria and Syrians. 🇸🇾🇺🇸

🧵 At the heart of Israel’s strategic outlook toward Syria and the region is a troubling assumption: that a recovering, sovereign and capable Syrian state is itself a future security risk.

[ZAMANALWSL - زمان الوصل @zamanalwsl]

🔴 Did the Syrian representative in America really kidnap journalist Lindsey Snell?

#AlHussein_Shishakli
#Zaman_AlWasl
#Shishakli_Tales
My fellow citizen, my dear friend,
What you are about to read is not a joke, nor a story from a children's book, but rather the details of a complex escape from an armed group...!

In 2016, when American journalist Lindsey Snell was transferred to a prison in a house belonging to the "Al-Nusra Front" in the Aleppo countryside, she managed to convince the women detained with her to give her a phone to make a call; yes, just like that. But the deeper story hadn't even begun yet, and this is documented in her testimony: When her cat escaped through the window, she asked the guards to release it temporarily so she could search for it. And indeed—guards of an organization supposedly known for its meticulousness—allowed it to leave. With the help of others, she made her way to the Turkish border, surrendered herself to the Turkish authorities, and was then transferred to the United States.

Once again, this is her story: how she escaped the hell of an armed Islamist group through the "Meow Meow Plan"—not something I made up, nor a bedtime story for my daughter.

This story, told by the woman who claims to have been kidnapped by the Syrian chargé d'affaires in America, who calls her "Auntie," presents us with two possibilities:

• First: She is lying completely.

• Second: She was a welcome guest of Jabhat al-Nusra, housed with their women, allowed to use a phone, raise cats, and leave her supposed detention location to search for her runaway cat. She even gave them press interviews.

This cat owner is known for her pro-Assad stance, which intensified after the liberation. She expressed concern for Christians, then claimed that those ruling Syria today are terrorists, and then criticized the meeting between the Syrian president and his American counterpart. She works for an obscure, pro-regime newspaper called *The Grayzone*, and has dedicated herself to supporting the SDF and advocating for secession from Syria.

Ultimately, the "cat drama and luxury cells" promoted by Lindsey Snell seem easily debunked. When intelligence reports and records of extremist groups are transformed into something resembling a Disney episode—where the detainee is allowed to keep pets, conduct field searches for escaped cats under the watchful eyes of guards, and then simply surrenders at the border—we are not dealing with serious investigative journalism, but rather a cheap Hollywood thriller.

Attempts to recycle fabricated narratives and concoct imaginary heroics on social media platforms will not conceal the dubious agendas of those desperately defending yesterday's tyrants and today's partition projects. Only the facts on the ground and the collapse of the lies of this "obscure press" will remain. As for the cat-themed nonsense and the myths of the "Meow Meow Plan," their rightful place is in the dustbin of history. Dear Qantari, Lindsay will call you, crying and apologizing for her cheap story. Don't let your heart soften and give in to her. Hang up on her with a 3D block.

Here are some Arabic and English hashtags that match the high quality and content of the satirical piece:

With #Israel's PM #Netanyahu in #Washington, the #Trump admin should finally get serious with #Israel about its unprovoked campaign of military aggression in #Syria.

So far in 2026:

- 106 air/artillery strikes
- 399 ground incursions
- 126 arrests

#Syria's response? Zero.
