On early Wednesday, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks, which included suicide bombers targeting populated civilian areas and the slaughter of residents in their homes, left over 220 Syrians dead with over 180 more injured. As the SAA continued their military advancement and assault on the last Daesh stronghold in southern Syria, ISIS militants carried out their own terrorist massacre against Syrian civilians in the city of Sweida and several towns to the north and east in Sweida province.
Several suicide bombers entered residential areas of Sweida city and nearby villages where they successfully blew themselves up, killing dozens of civilians, while two other suicide bombers in the city were successfully hunted down and killed by authorities before they were able to detonate their bombs.
Later, the authorities, in cooperation with the locals, killed a terrorist from Daesh in the area of al-Maslakh, in al-Jalaa neighborhood in the city. - SANA
Meanwhile, ISIS militants also launched terrorist attacks against the villages of al-Matouneh, Douma, Tima, al-Shabaki, and Rami in the northeastern countryside of the province, infiltrating the villages under the cover of darkness, where they went on to murder numerous residents execution style in their homes, some of the victims slaughtered in their sleep. The terrorists also kidnapped a number of residents, taking them hostage, while their fate remains unknown. Scores of terrorists were killed in the ensuing fighting, and within several hours the remaining Daesh militants who had not been hunted down and killed were driven from the villages they had besieged, and peace was restored.
The terrorist attacks were successfully repelled in large part due to the help of the locals who bravely took up arms to help fight off the swarms of terrorist fighters storming and besieging their villages, as well as with support from the SAA. The SAA fought alongside and with the full support of the locals, and where the SAA was absent, the locals stepped up to fill their shoes, demonstrating the strong unity between the Syrian army and the Syrian people, in sharp contradiction of the picture painted by Western government and media. SANA reports that “the locals of Douma village killed 12 terrorists who attacked the town,” while 3 captured terrorists in Swaida city were executed by the locals, hanged in in front of the national hospital in retaliation of their massacre, seen below.

This story stands as a great example of the unity between the Syrian people and the SAA, and how in reality it isn't the SAA acting as tyrants in Syria right now, it is the U.S.-backed Jihadi terrorists. Just one more example of how, if the Syrian people truly stood against Assad and were actively seeking his overthrow as the official narrative goes, then Assad would already be long gone. The only way he is winning this 7-year war against the so-called rebel militants is with the overwhelming support of the Syrian people, and this story fully demonstrates that truth.
One Syrian hero, Yamen Abu Assi, lost his life attempting to contain one of the ISIS suicide bombers targeting civilians.
This man gave his life in a heroic effort to save and protect the lives of his neighbors in the most selfless act of love, but despite the media's love of this type of hero narrative, Yamen Abu Assi will not even be mentioned once in Western Media, nor will his picture be shown on the nightly news, and most of America will never even hear a peep of his martyrdom by savage terrorists.
The truth is that if a member of the terrorist-linked White Helmets lost his life attempting to contain an ISIS suicide bomber, the heroic story would be front page news, and the man's picture would be all over social media for days. America will never see Yamen's face or hear his name however, because he is a Syrian soldier rather than a member of the U.S.-backed 'rebel opposition forces', and that is absolutely wrong. Instead, the fakestream media distracts the masses with super important news like Papa John's suing Papa John's.

Yamen is an example of the type of people who make up the what the West inaccurately calls 'Assad's army', and which the MSM does everything in their power to demonize and de-humanize – the Syrian Arab Army – and that is why this story is being ignored, buried and will soon be forgotten.
The West depicts the SAA as 'Assad's forces' which brutally oppress the Syrian people by indiscriminately carrying out the worst atrocities and war crimes against Syrian civilians, but the reality is the opposite. The SAA is comprised of the whole Syrian people, both men and women of all sects and religious ideologies, and Syrian soldiers have on numerous occasions given their lives fighting to liberate and protect Syrian Christians and Arab minorities from being slaughtered by these Jihadi terrorist groups. The SAA continues to fight on behalf of the Syrian people and with their full support, to stamp out ISIS and protect the people from the cruel atrocities and horrendous war crimes committed by these and other U.S.-backed Jihadi terrorist groups, as this story illustrates so well.
The Observatory (SOHR) reported that at least 134 of the 220+ victims killed in the attacks were civilians, with the remaining dead being local fighters who had taken up arms to defend their villages. Countless women and children were killed in the deadliest terrorist attack in this province since the beginning of the Syrian war 7 years ago, carried out by one of America's 'arch-enemies' ISIS, and this story is hardly even being covered!
This is a FAR worse massacre than the alleged chemical attack in Douma in early April, which it turns out was staged, but which made the front page news and received continuous coverage as a top story for weeks, and yet this story doesn't make it into the top news or even onto the world news page of either CNN or Fox News websites. Instead, on the day following this massacre, the top world news story on Fox was about a donkey painted as zebra in a zoo in Africa!

The reality is that the murderous Zionist and Neocon war-mongering leaders of the U.S. Empire and their media presstitutes don't care one bit about the murder of innocent Syrian children. They only pretend to care about the murder of Syrian children if they can blame the deaths on the Assad government as an excuse to bomb Syrian government, civilian or SAA targets, or to give more support to the so-called 'moderate' terrorists who act as proxy armies of the Empire. So they have widely ignored this tragic story, and when it is covered, the media spin is blatant, as Whitney Webb details in her excellent article, the headline to which accurately reads:
Coverage of Recent ISIS Attacks Show Syrian Civilians are Only Humanized When it Serves a Pro-Intervention Agenda
And that is the sad truth which too many people are still unaware of, still plugged in to the Media Matrix of mind control, sold on the false left/right paradigm which perpetuates rampant injustice and endless war.
Don't forget that the U.S. has provided ample funding and weaponry to ISIS and other Jihadi terrorist groups in Syria, and U.S. support for ISIS is pretty well documented. A recent example of this is the cache of U.S.-manufactured and various Western-made weapons recovered from the terrorist groups in recently liberated Daraa in southern Syria. On a related note, in a statement regarding this ISIS attack, Hezbollah declared that these terrorist fighters were clearly seen using U.S. supplied weapons.
"The appearance of these armed gangs with full armament and equipment from the At-Tanf area, where the US is illegally based, right before their eyes and with their obvious assistance, is dangerous," the group said in a statement.
It is true and not a little odd that these attacks were carried out so close to the U.S. base in At-Tanf, when we are also seeing the SAA continue to find U.S. weapons left behind by the terrorists in recently liberated towns in southern Syria. It is quite possible that if the U.S. had never funded or funneled weapons to ISIS & other Jihadi terrorist groups in Syria, this devastating attack would never have occurred. Just another sad example of the devastating effects of reckless imperialistic U.S. foreign policy.
