Aleppo: How US & Saudi-Backed Rebels Target  ‘Every Syrian’: War diary by Western journalist Eva Bartlett on the truth about Aleppo

‘We  were living in security and peace. These areas are being targeted, they want to force us to leave. Every Syrian is being targeted,’ one Syrian  religious leader told a delegation of reporters who visited Aleppo earlier this month.

In early November, Fares Shehabi, a member of the Syrian parliament from Aleppo, organized a trip to  Aleppo for 13 Western journalists, including myself, with security  provided by forces in the Syrian Arab Army.While I had traveled to  Aleppo independently as recently as July and August, for many others in  the delegation, it was their first visit to the city or their first  visit since the war on Syria began in 2011. 

On previous visits to Aleppo, I met with the Aleppo Medical Association  and saw a maternity hospital hit twice by rocket and mortar attacks by militants under Jaysh al-Fatah (the Army of Conquest), a loose alliance  of anti-government terrorist groups. I met with members of a branch of  the Syria Civil Defense and Christian and Muslim religious leaders. Just north of the city, I visited Nubl and Zahraa, towns besieged for more than three years by the Free Syrian  Army, the Nusra Front, and other affiliated terrorist factions before the Syrian Arab Army drove them out in February of this year. I saw the  liberated region of Bani Zaid and the al-Layramoun industrial district. I  interacted with civilians in public parks, streets, and markets.   

Ahead of my trip earlier this month, I  was interested to see what might have changed following the liberation  of still more areas by the SAA. I also hoped to speak with civilians who  had fled the terrorist-held areas of Aleppo’s eastern districts since I  had last visited, during which time eight humanitarian corridors had  been established for civilians and members of terrorist factions willing  to relinquish their arms or to accept safe passage to areas in Idlib  and government-secured parts of western Aleppo. 

However, on Nov. 4, no one fled  terrorist-held areas of Aleppo. Family members of civilians still there  say their loved ones are being used as human shields by groups like the  Nusra Front, Ahrar al-Sham, or Nour al-Din al-Zenki — the so-called  “moderate rebels” and “opposition forces” backed by the United States,  NATO, Israel and Gulf allies like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Syrian Government Gives Evidence of ‘Rebels’ Using Mustard Gas Against Civilians

December 18, 2016  By 21wire
21st Century Wire says… 

Just when you thought things could not get any worse for the  US State Dept’s dynamic trio of John Kerry, Samantha Power and John  Kirby, and President Obama too – another damning piece of evidence  surfaces which implicates Western and Gulf state-backed “moderate  rebels” in Syria.  

Documents containing evidence of chemical weapons use by ‘rebel’  terrorists have been handed over to the Technical Secretariat of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) international mission in Damascus. 

The attack in question is said to have involved the use of Mustard  Gas and took place near the village of Maarat Umm Hawsh village in  Aleppo province back in September.

At Least 14 US Coalition Military Officers Captured by Syrian Special Forces in East Aleppo Bunker

SPECIAL REPORT 

DAMASCUS – According to two reports coming out of Aleppo  today, at least 14 US Coalition military officers were captured this morning in an East Aleppo bunker by Syrian Special Forces. 

This story was quietly leaked by Voltaire.net, who announced, “The Security Council is sitting in private on Friday, December 16, 2016, at 17:00 GMT, while NATO officers were arrested this morning by the Syrian Special Forces in a bunker in East Aleppo.” 

Fares Shehabi MP, a prominent Syrian Parliamentarian and head of Aleppo’s Chamber of Commerce published the names of the Coalition officers on his Facebook page on the 15th December (emphasis added): 

Mutaz Kanoğlu – Turkey
David Scott Winer – USA
David Shlomo Aram – Israel
Muhamad Tamimi – Qatar
Muhamad Ahmad Assabian – Saudi
Abd-el-Menham Fahd al Harij – Saudi
Islam Salam Ezzahran Al Hajlan – Saudi
Ahmed Ben Naoufel Al Darij – Saudi
Muhamad Hassan Al Sabihi – Saudi
Hamad Fahad Al Dousri – Saudi
Amjad Qassem Al Tiraoui – Jordan
Qassem Saad Al Shamry – Saudi
Ayman Qassem Al Thahalbi – Saudi
Mohamed Ech-Chafihi El Idrissi – Moroccan

Listen to Fares Shehabi’s interview on the Sunday Wire radio show: ‘Liberation Aleppo‘ 

In addition to Voltaire.net, the other original report was provided by Damascus-based Syrian journalist Said Hilal Alcharifi. According to Alcharifi, captured “NATO” officers were from a number of member states including  the US, France, Germany and Turkey, as well as Israel. Here is his statement (translated from French):
 

“Thanks to information received, Syrian authorities discovered the  headquarters of high ranking western/NATO officers in the basement of an  area in East Aleppo and have captured them alive. Some names have  already been given to Syrian journalists, myself included. The  nationalities are US, French, British, German, Israeli, Turkish, Saudi,  Moroccan, Qatari etc. In light of their nationalities and their rank, I  assure you that the Syrian government have a very important catch, which  should enable them to direct negotiations with the countries that have  tried to destroy them.” 

Although these initial reports describe the individuals in question  as “NATO” officers, it’s unlikely they would have been carrying NATO  colors on a covert operation – and might be more accurately labeled as  US Coalition officers. Note that early reports suggest that these are  not standard ‘street rebel’ or jihadi terrorists but actual Coalition  military personnel and field commanders.
