Russian forces deploy at Syrian border under new accord

AKCAKALE, Turkey (AP) — Russian military police began patrols on part of the Syrian border Wednesday, quickly moving to implement an accord with Turkey that divvies up control of northeastern Syria. The Kremlin told Kurdish fighters to pull back from the entire frontier or else face being “steamrolled” by Turkish forces.

Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin reached an agreement Tuesday that would transform the map of northeast Syria, installing their forces along the border and filling the void left by the abrupt withdrawal of American troops. The Kurdish fighters, who once relied on the U.S. forces as protection from Turkey, were given a deadline of next Tuesday evening to pull back from border areas they have not already left.

The new agreement with Russia allows Turkey to keep sole control over that area.

The Russian Defense Ministry said a convoy of military police had crossed the Euphrates River and deployed in the Syrian border town of Kobani.

“The military police will help protect the population, maintain order, patrol the designated areas and assist in the withdrawal of Kurdish units and their weapons 30 kilometers away from the border,” it said.

Damascus is falling! Reports indicate insurrectionists have entered Damascus suburbs and the Syrian army is retreating. Not sure where the Syrian army can go once the insurrectionists establish a new govmint. I reckon the Syrian army that hasn't fled the country surrender to the insurrectionists... Insurrectionists claim to have encircled Damascus.

Maybe all of the focus has turned to Syria because this could be God's next prophetic move to fulfill with the coming destruction of Damascus?
 
Syrian Rebels Capture Damascus; Assad Regime Ends

The regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has come to an end. The capital city of Damascus was captured by Syrian rebels in the wee hours of Sunday morning, ending the Assad dynasty and with it one of the bloodiest chapters in the history of the Middle East.

Syrian rebels led by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) organization – formerly the Al Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra – captured the surrounding suburbs of the capital earlier in the evening, and entered the city a few hours later.

The rebels say they shot down Assad's plane.

 
I guess now we pray for protection for Israel from the rebels and we watch as Syria is carved up between the backers of the various rebels. More proxy war only Syria instead of Ukraine.

Syrian government appears to have fallen in stunning end to 50-year rule of Assad family

This is from the AP report, it's a long one with lots of further details.

"BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian government appeared to have fallen early Sunday in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family after a lightning rebel offensive.

The head of a Syrian opposition war monitor said President Bashar Assad had left the country for an undisclosed location, fleeing ahead of insurgents who said they had entered Damascus after a remarkably swift advance across the country.

Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and hand over its functions to a transitional government.

“I am in my house and I have not left, and this is because of my belonging to this country,” Jalili said in a video statement. He said he would go to his office to continue work in the morning and called on Syrian citizens not to deface public property.

He did not address reports that Assad had left the country.

Amir Tsarfati did a quick update on YouTube in which he reported that Assad took a cargo plane out of Damascus which was climbing and headed north- but over Homs it suddenly turned and was lost off radar. - YouTube

As Rose reports above, he's toast! So ends the Assad dynasty.

Man i'm confused with this
 
Update regarding the possibility that a plane carrying Assad was shot down
This is a transport plane that mainly carries out deliveries of weapons and fighters. Since he disappeared in the Homs area, the probability that the Syrian president was on him during intense fighting is low. As we reported, our indications point to a different scenario according to which Assad probably arrived in Latakia two days ago and was smuggled out of there on another flight.

From the IDF account on X:
"In accordance with the situational assessment following the recent events in #Syria, including the entry of armed personnel into the buffer zone, the IDF has deployed forces in the buffer zone and in several other places necessary for its defense, to ensure the safety of the communities of the Golan Heights and the citizens of Israel. We emphasize that the IDF is not interfering with the internal events in Syria. The IDF will continue to operate as long as necessary in order to preserve the buffer zone and defend Israel and its civilians."
 
Putin says he is in Moscow. At this point I have no reason to disbelieve the Russian President given that it would be a stupid statement if not true. We'll know soon enough, because Mr Assad will appear on Russian video sooner or later if he is there and alive.
