In the last days the fascist Turkish state is intensifiying it’s attacks on Rojava and especially on Kobanê. Erdogans goal is not just to gain territory, but to destroy our visions of socialism, women’s liberation and the unity of the people.
This is why Kobane is a strategical target for him. We must remember that Kobane is the symbol of the Women’s Revolution, and according to this we have to strengthen our struggle.
Let’s resist with the self-sacrificing and powerful spirit of Şehîd Arîn Mîrkan until victory!
In the canton of Minbic, a fragile ceasefire is in place following intense fighting between SDF & the Turkish-backed SNA. In the morning, fierce fighting broke out again around the Tischrin Dam. Turkish drones are also said to have been used in the fighting. Local sources report protests against the Turkish occupation & its militias in the city.
In recent days, there have been increasing reports of executions & looting in the regions where the SNA has taken control. Fighters have also repeatedly appeared with the flag of the so-called Islamic State.
An ambulance from the Kobanê hospital (Syrian Kurdistan) on the Sarrin-Tishreen Dam road has been shelled by the Turks, killing the driver and a passenger, and seriously injuring a nurse and another person.
At the same time, the self-administration (DAANES) strengthened its position for negotiations & a democratization of the whole of Syria. The self-administration announced that it would hoist the new flag of the Syrian Republic above all its institutions.
Meanwhile, transitional government was formed in Damascus by HTS, which is to remain in office until March.
📢 A Democratic solution for Syria – Defend the Self-Administration: Action-Day, Saturday Dec. 14
If the democratic solution is to stand a chance in this historic phase, we must defend the self-administration in Northeast Syria, the revolution in Rojava and stop Turkey and its mercenaries.
That is why we are calling for a central day of action in solidarity with the autonomous administration and the peoples of Syria next Saturday, December 14.
There are many ways to defend the revolution! Protest against the institutions of the Turkish state and their Western partners. Inform yourself and get creative, protest and take to the streets!
As the country struggles to emerge from the darkness and brutality of the Assad regime many groups are vying for position in this new reality – and it is in that space that Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is trying to gather strength.
One of the most important figures in this region is General Abdi Mazloum, the commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
He is warning the West that ISIS is already trying to exploit the turmoil.
General Mazloum says the clashes with Turkish-backed groups are making it more difficult to concentrate on stopping ISIS from regenerating.

“At the moment, joint operations against ISIS are halted. This is not a decision but rather a military reality, as the coalition is also preoccupied with the ongoing conflict. Therefore, I stress that if these attacks persist, joint operations will remain suspended,” he says.
He also warns that it’s possible that ISIS prisoners kept in detention camps and prisons could escape in the chaos.
Israel has apparently shelved its planned attack on Iran. A combination of circumstances can be attributed to this retreat, which rubbishes Israel’s own high-pitched rhetoric that it was raring to go.
Russia aligns with Iran, War Clouds Scatter
Despite Israel’s brilliant media management ( read -Lie Machine-), reports have surfaced that the Iranian missile attack on October 1 was a spectacular success.
One single person was admitted killed, yet it was a display of Iran’s deterrence capability to crush Israel, if need arises. The failure of the US to intercept Iranian hypersonic missiles carried its own message.
Damage by Iranian missile
Iran claims that 90 percent of its missiles penetrated Israel’s air defence system, exclusively aimed at military bases, yet also creating general terror as sirens screamed and the population took cover.
Will Schryver, a technical engineer and security commentator, wrote on X: “I don’t understand how anyone who has seen the many video clips of the Iranian missile strikes on Israel cannot recognise and acknowledge that it was a stunning demonstration of Iranian capabilities.
(Iran then threatened that if Israel responds it will destroy its few Electricity Generating Stations, ports and main industries.)
Iran’s ballistic missiles smashed through US/Israeli air defences and delivered several large-warhead strikes to Israeli military targets.”
Evidently, in the ensuing panic situation in Israel, as the US president Joe Biden put it, as of October 4, there had been no decision yet on what type of response Israel should mount against Iran.
“If I were in their [Israeli] shoes, I’d be thinking about other alternatives than striking oil fields,” Biden said, fearing his party would lose the elections if oil prices exploded, in a rare appearance in the White House briefing room a day after Israeli officials were still saying that a “significant retaliation” was imminent.
Biden added that Israelis “have not concluded how they’re — what they’re going to do” in retaliation. Biden also told reporters that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should remember US support for Israel when deciding on next steps.
In this pantomime, it is safer to believe Biden, as the honest truth is that without US inputs and practical help, and money — and direct intervention — Israel simply lacks the stamina to take on Iran.
But here too, it is debatable how self-sufficient Israel is vis-a-vis Iran. Reports have appeared that it was the US’ new technological intel that pinpointed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Nasrallah and other leaders whereabouts, which was passed on to Israel, leading to their assassination.
Israel’s regional dominance narrows down to executing assassination plots, massacring unarmed civilians.
(Indeed the very creation of Israel was hastened by a series of terriorist bombings against the British administration of Palestine after World War 2. Ever since the Zionist fanatics behind the Israeli Regime have relied on an ‘Anything Goes’ policy to achieve its colonial goals.
All with sugar coated false morality and victimhood. )
Iranian State media reported that Fattah hypersonic missiles were used in the massive attacks against the Israeli occupation.
Iran launched hundreds of missiles at Israeli targets, sending hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers into bunkers while missiles pounded occupation military bases.
The missiles took less than 15 minutes to reach areas in Occupied Palestine.
The I-R-G-C released a second statement after the attack, saying that it targeted three Israeli military bases near Tel Aviv in its response.
In a second statement after the operation, dubbed True Promise 2 by the I-R-G-C, it was announced that three military bases near Tel Aviv were targeted in the missile attack on “Israel”, including the Hatzerim airbase used in the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nas-ral-lah
Videos confirmed countless impacts across Occupied Palestine. It’s worth noting the majority of videos were taken by Palestinians in the West Bank, cheering for the Iranian missiles as they battered Israeli targets.
The statement further added that 90% of missiles achieved a direct hit on their targets.

Israel war on Gaza, Lebanon live: Iran fires dozens of missiles at Israel
This video may contain light patterns or images that could trigger seizures or cause discomfort for people with visual sensitivities.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has fired dozens of missiles at Israel in response to the killing of people of Gaza, as well as Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.
The IRGC says Israel will face “crushing” attacks if it responds.
Earlier, Israel said its troops entered southern Lebanon for what it called “limited” raid but Hezbollah denied they crossed into the territory.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati says Lebanon faces “one of the most dangerous phases of its history”.
Meanwhile, Israeli attacks continue across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 29 Palestinians.
More than 400 missiles were launched from Iran against the Palestinian territories occupied by “Israel” during the last half hour. ..Al Mayadeen
Iranian Revolutionary Guard:
Iranian missile attacks against the Zionist entity used cluster warheads, causing the Iron Dome system to fail to confront them.
Since approximately 7:30 Al-Quds time, sirens across Occupied Palestine have been sounding non-stop, signaling the beginning of a major Iranian operation against the Israeli occupation.
The operation followed a shooting operation leaving several victims in Tel Aviv.

Israeli Media
The Iranian attack on “Israel” is a declaration of war and no other description.
A major Iranian operation launched where hundreds of missiles and rockets were launched at Israeli targets in Occupied Palestine.
Sirens sounded across “Israel” prompting settlers to flee to their bunkers.
According to New York Times reports, the Iranian missiles took less than 15 minutes to reach “Israel”, suggesting that the operation was carried out using ballistic missiles.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported that multiple waves of sirens and multiple explosions, including a huge boom, could be heard from Tel Aviv.
The daily added that the sounds were different from the more familiar sounds of Israeli missiles intercepting Palestinian rockets, more like a heavy warhead.
Israeli media reported that the missiles mainly targeted military targets.
Iranian state television has reported that some of the ballistic missiles fired by the IRGC targeted Israeli tanks located at the so-called Netzarim Corridor.
The Netzarim Corridor was set up to split northern Gaza from the south in the early days of the Israeli offensive on the enclave.
Israel reopens airspace
Israel has now reopened its airspace after a temporary suspension due to the missile attack.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s transport minister says that the country’s airspace will be temporarily closed to air traffic for two hours.
The last time Iran attacked Israel was April 13, about 12 days after Israel killed five members of Iran’s revolutionary guards in Damascus.
How Iran responded then was very different to what we’re seeing tonight. Iran, through backchannels, warned the US and Western powers ahead of time in April.
Tonight, Israel only started to put out signals from the US an hour or so before it was launched. A very different scenario.
What Iran’s end-game here, other than to show their strength and to draw some red lines, is not clear at the moment. But Israeli officials have already said they are going to respond with force.
What we’ve seen over the past few days, including with Israel’s assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, is Netanyahu pushing Iran to launch this attack, which then gives him an excuse to do what he has always wanted: launch strikes on Iran’s six nuclear facilities.
For Israel and Netanyahu, the real goal in going after Hamas and Hezbollah has been to get to Iran.

Pentagon chief warns ‘severe consequences for Iran’
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has told his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant that Washington had “increased force readiness” in the region in anticipation of the Iranian attack.
The call appeared to have taken place before Iran launched hundreds of missiles towards Israel.
“The Secretary and Minister Gallant discussed the severe consequences for Iran in the event Iran chooses to launch a direct military attack against Israel,” the Pentagon statement said.

Israeli military says residents can leave shelters
The directive comes about an hour after Israeli residents in certain areas were told to seek safety.
The Israeli military instructed residents to continue to monitor the situation and obey future instructions.
As the death toll reaches 100,000 in Syria all sides and their allies are pouring arms into the fire and the US industrial/war machine is desperate to start the bombing. The final logic of crisis capitalism is permanent spreading WAR. Now may be our last chance to protest.
Into the abyss of full scale war on Syria with Tony Blair as outrider
28 June 2013 Matt Carr
The West’s escalation of the war will not bring peace, but death, chaos and destruction on a scale that will dwarf previous ‘interventions’ in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
Whenever the Quartet’s ‘Peace Envoy’ Tony Blair makes any pronouncement on the great issues in the Middle East, you can always guarantee that the missile silos are being readied for action. Continue reading “STOP NOW: All sides Pour arms on Syrian War”
Scholar Noam Chomsky told GRITtv this week that Obama is “running the biggest terrorist operation that exists, maybe in history,” and that this is “understood at the highest level.”
The Obama administration is “dedicated to increasing terrorism throughout the world,” Chomsky said, agreeing with an article last week by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky.
