Your source for breaking news from the conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa. (Don't shoot the messenger :P)

 

This thread is firstly for myself - so that I'm encouraged to seek out information - and secondly for all of you that you may benefit from news you most likely won't hear on the mainstream media. The sources for every bit of information will be provided and it is up to you what you choose to believe and not believe. I am not affiliated with any group nor do I condone the content of my reports.

 

To start things of...

As much as I disagree with many actors in MENA conflict zones, Israel will be the only one I will always be referring to as terrorists, so please forgive my slight bias.

Tel Skuf is where the fighting is occurring. At least 40 Daesh have been killed in the fighting. 

 

Peshmerga and Iraqi army are notorious for exaggerating their successes and downplaying their losses (which are all too frequent).

 

As it stands IS remains in full control of the gains they've made in N.Mosul.

News Update: The heroic unarmed Hama prisoners who subdued and took armed Assad guards hostage after they were about to be massacred are being released in exchange for the hostages!

 

The first batch of 32 prisoners from Hama Central Prison have arrived yesterday at the rebel held town of Qalaat al Madiq.

Picture on the bottom right is of a UNHCR tent meant for the Syrian people but diverted by Assad to shelter his troops. (I've also seen reports of Assad regime diverting food aid to military.)

In a separate topic. In Yemen

Ali Abdallah Saleh, the houthis and the Sunni Arab forces and their allies have agreed to resume peace talks in Kuwait.

Charlie Keating IV, Navy SEAL Rambo & Sniper, is in intensive treatment.

Apology and Correction: I mistakenly reported that Navy SEAL Rambo & Sniper, Charlie Keating IV, was in intensive treatment when in fact he was the one that was killed by IS commando's during their operation in Northern Mosul. 

 

Here is the exclusive footage of the rest of the Navy Seal's retreating after their defeat:

Do you have any video of Daesh pulling back out? All I have was filmed at night and makes for crappy footage.

 

I don't have any news of them retreating from the territory they've captured, but I will be sure to post it if I get it.

Nah bro they watched him roll until he bled out

 

Not sure were you drew that conclusion from? The last thing we see in the video is him running back to the armoured vehicle. 

 

There is no reason why he couldn't have bunkered down until nightfall (it was late evening) using the armoured vehicle as cover and made his way back to base under the cover of night.

I swear, I saw Abu Haajar on one of the first images. (You would get the joke if you saw the VICE news video on ISIS.)

 

Abu Hajar, as probably one of the most likely survivors, was pretty competent if you ask me (not sure why you lot are giving him such a hard time).

 

However all units vary in terms of experience and training so you can't really expect them all to perform at the same level.

Sadly the United States, who supposedly preaches freedom of speech, has blocked that video link from being viewed by its own citizenry. Chalk one up for muh freedumbs.

I think this has potential - as I am one that believes 'big media' keeps things away from certain communities. Being from the US and being 'in the know' as part of my profession, I know that there is a huge amount of information that is left out of the general public. 

 

As far as this topic goes, I will leave it open as long as it stays on the current track of information sharing. As soon as it steps off that track it will be closed. 

 

Keep it positive.

News Update & Analysis: IS made a strategic move in Homs after Assad's forces launched their 5th offensive to take over IS Arak Oil fields (which ended in failure for the 5th time) by taking over Assad's Shaer Oilfields within hours. Now Assad's forces have given up on taking Arak, and are launching an offensive to take back Shaer Oilfields (not expected to succeeded).

News: American made Iraqi army Abram main battle tank was destroyed by IS with heavy mortar bombardment South West of Fallujah, Iraq.

 

Purely for illustration purposes: An old picture of an Abram main battle tank gifted to Iraqi Army and beheaded by IS.
