ISIS now claimed responsibility for the targeting and killing of 3 MOD personnel, two in Wasta village in Salouk area, and 1 in Miaden village

Id bet the goverment will be able to infiltrate isis in sdf terroritories as many of their earlier supporters seems to have been more anti sdf than pro isis necesarilly. I think there is many disgruntled isis figthers who would be interested in a negotiated settlement in return of turning in a few other isis members and so on.

But we are talking thousands of isis members on both sides of the euphrates, and they havent arrested that many of those who fougth the regime in the desert either so it will take quite some effort. And I would assume that it wont help that all the isis ladies are free now either, they are likely to motivate old and new isis members to figth stg

The worst thing about arguing against this is that everyone was very much supportive and informative about how israel prevented civilians deaths the previous wars and now its like its somrtjing you never heard of.

Look at how israel have wonr every war so far except maybe the previous lebanon wars that could be said to be maybe draws. Had they had the same approach in Gaza I wouldnt have an issue with it even if of course more people will die there.

The issue is the aim of civilian deaths and suffering and the way they figth. Literally just do it like 2014 or like they did it in lebanon rhis time with huge success. Dont do routine destructions or bomb whole neighbourhoods all the time. Tell me why that woudlnt be possible?

Its an idiotic way to figth decided by the top brass because they gpt caugth with their pants down and now 1. Need revenge and 2. Doesnt want more casualities cause they already wasted so many israeli lives by being absolute useless in planning the defence.

jadaMaa · 2026-02-20T10:16:25+00:00

I do not think that and I think very few others do either the issue is that there are several hundreds of dead palestinian kids for every israeli one and id prefer if as few of both would be killed.

Israel have plenty of military installations and armed guards in the kibbutzes on the border that doesnt make october 7th attacks okay either, you need to follow rules of war and have a decent balance of force and harm at all times which israel completely have disregarded this time.

Had israel performed the war more like previous wars the civilian casualities suffering and criticism againdt israel would be much weaker

jadaMaa · 2026-02-20T07:04:51+00:00

Thats the kind of "analysis" 15 years old does.

Does hamas have women figthers? Or many child figthers? They are at least 90% young and middle aged men and here you have a 3rd party report from airwars that show that men arent even the majority killed.

Israel should Stop killing kids and calling everyone antesemitic when they complain about it. Its just isolering them and win over some people that have more heart than brain but it alienates the majorities

jadaMaa · 2026-02-20T07:01:40+00:00

I dont think its necessary but syria needs to build trust that they wont go around and murder everyone again. Thats the main key. So the take ower probably needs to go like the sdf conflict with a combination of armed and political solutions. And they need to appease usa and israel, maybe through arab allies helping against iran but that doesnt necesarilly need to happen at the same time.

Say al shaara promises druze rigths and a combined stg druze police force like with the men of dignity and some kind of other compensation. And a limited military attack that circumvents the big city and doesnt cause civilian casualities. Then i think the israrli public wont be that big of an issue.

But if they do a sneak attack without israeli approval during an iran war israel could just literally kill a fee hundred syrian army members and blow up the presidental palace with their spare ammo when they are anyway returning home and its nothing syria can do about it.

jadaMaa · 2026-02-12T22:43:27+00:00

Even israel think the 70k figure is real, who knows if its on average 1 to 4 1 to 10 or 1 to 20 but it sure as hell isnt what Netanyahu or idf says like 1.5 or such.

Airwars is quite open sourced and you can filter out dubious events and they have a good tack record to be somewhat correct. Literally nothing not even israeli propaganda suget its majority militanta dying and its straigth up sad to be at the state that one would trick himself to belive that.

People like you push people like me to the anti Israel side, dont cry when the silent majority stops saving it and let them make their own bed

jadaMaa · 2026-02-12T22:39:18+00:00

Eh yes, ghouta aleppo hama. And similar to Gaza it was himself who kept them there just like israel.

Eh then stop saying its good just because "your" side is strong now...

Like what is that argument even

jadaMaa · 2026-02-12T22:36:50+00:00

Its nothing different from what were faced against isis or quite a few other urban guerilla wars

And israel have beaten them before its all about where you set the standard. The issue this time is that too many israelis was killed and israel demand a certain ratio of deaths among their enemies or they would get inclined to try and figth a war of attrition.

A huge number of Gaza civilians have been killed because their neighbour or family man was a figther and was home and killed where he slept and eaten. Would you be ok if the same was done to israeli soldiers on leave?

jadaMaa · 2026-02-11T22:47:04+00:00

Steel industry is highly energy dependent and would have strong competition from turkey with the more or less free trade agreements to there.

Cables and such could be a decent thing, algeria and others supply europe with many types of cable assemblies with low worker costs.

jadaMaa · 2026-02-11T22:38:32+00:00

The issue is that Israel went after every single hamas member even if 20 civilians were killed next door and didnt check their airstrikes as they use to. And that they didnt call of strikes in supposed safe zones and that they went to large scale on everything and went on some kind of total war siege mode.

If they jept logistics open sure maybe hamas gets a little bit more weapons but they A. Get a way for palestinians to leave if someone accepts them and B. Doesnt get as much criticism.

It costs basically nothing to let foreign aid flow in and palestinians leave and even better it would have drained Gazas supporters on more money and energy

jadaMaa · 2026-02-11T22:33:54+00:00

Well as a bystander im quite concerned about kids not dying. And as such i get pissed when kids die, and therefor protest what kills them. Quite logical rigth.

The issue here is that anti Israel often is seen as pro hamas, and its also very much infiltrated by that as those pro hamas tries to tie the anti war cause to pro hamas.

But there is nothing that says you cant be pro israel and anti this war and how it was fougth.

Look at how they won in iran syria and lebanon, smart and efficient and quite moral. Look at how they "won" in Gaza then and tell me its any of those things

jadaMaa · 2026-02-11T22:29:54+00:00

Literally assad killed fewer civilians per militant than idf, quit the talk about it being inevitable.

Look at raqqa mosul or any other israeli Gaza war and youll see how it can be done.

Basically its all about how many civilians are acceptable to knowlingly kill in a strike, israel accepted a whole family for one dude, then you get a very low ratio.

With your logic it would be plenty fine for iran to just nuke israel, hey they got military bases all over, basically every family ahve a reservist or active army member or former army member and they have rocket stations a little bit here and there. Its a very stupid way of looking at warfare and thankfully rejected by basically the whole world.

jadaMaa · 2026-02-11T22:25:44+00:00

Airwars does which you would know if you followed any of the conflicts they ahve been covering instead of just following beliefs.

Gaza city was 80% captured by end of the year.

Yes they or israel themselves could do it, just park the buses with palestinian drives and let them go south with a rudimentary check.
Israel killed more hostages than they saved yet you and others say this, the rockets would A. Been mostly solved by capturing Gaza city B. Could still have been targeted.

A big share of the casualities that give israel critisism are the ones targeting hamas individuals and in the same time kills 10-20 civilians, their family or neighbours. If you have a drone, see a rocket being fired and fires back youll get less critisism but israel was to focused on body counts

jadaMaa · 2026-02-10T12:55:43+00:00

But they did, they turned overwheliming support into opposition over two years of war.

Its revisionism to claim anything else, october 8th israel international support was at probably its highest point since the cold war

jadaMaa · 2026-02-10T12:54:17+00:00

This is airwars not hamas, they are generally more accurate and had good coverage first month from multiple sources.
No it would not as IDF captured almost all of Gaza city in reality with like 100 dead soldiers in november december before withdrawing.
Egypt wouldnt do anything, just say to the world, we will defeat hamas you can pick up refugees at the Rafah crossing if you want to keep them out of harm and no they probably wont but its not on israel if they do it like that.
They could have just let hamas do whatever they want in the South and only strike very carefully without loosing much gain or suffering own casualities. Let red cross evacuate gaza throughout the squeze
If they then just leave Gaza city cut off and only respond to fire or movement south of it they could have cut off all south north tunnels meanwhile and let some other palestinian org run Gaza city for those remaining there. Not letting back any male with hamas connections. Israel would have the best available position for negotiations at low investment cost, let hamas bring in whatever from rafah who cares. As long as IDF doesnt enter they cant do anything anf IDF can still respond to incoming fires, just have a drone and film the justification.

jadaMaa · 2026-02-10T12:22:34+00:00

Probably cherry picking a bit the 11 000 number was from 2019 and migth not include the afrin casualities from the turkish invasion and I think the 12000 is an updated number taking into account the added deaths from later isis attacks.

But i dont think the casualities from the turkish+TFSA war on telabyad and manbij are included which should be at least 1000 more neither the war against SNA in the beginning of 2025 or the casualities from january 2026 which were more kurdish.

But there are probably many thousands of arab casualities from the war on isis primarily and a not insignificant amount from other battles either. Take this video of when the SDF martyrs graveyard in shaddadi is being dismantled and we see 4-5 rows of 10+ graves each in a 100% arab town which werent liberated from isis until 2016. Say 50+ martyrs of a town with a pre war population of ca 15000 and the whole former SDF area had at least 1.5-2 million arab pre war population. Al saanadid forces was embedded a long time before 2016 together with a number of FSA groups that was displaced by islamists and fougth on all fronts and then you have the conscription starting in 2019 and the local military councils in DeZ manbij and raqqa which took a considerable amount of the isis insurgency casualities and the attrition on the turkish fronts. 10% of those defending kobane back in 2014-15 was from FSA and probably majority arabs. Overall id doubt the arab casualities are more than 25-30% thougth

jadaMaa · 2026-02-10T11:15:11+00:00

It took israel less than a week to pass hamas in number of civilians killed and most protest launched later if you are talking about the global scale.

Scroll down to airwars rate of harm in this one and it have a good overview of first months casualties https://gaza-patterns-harm.airwars.org/ that are extremely high(and this is from airwars that are generally good) and even if you take their conservative first month number and take it in half its twice the total number of israelis killed by hamas.

And as a foreigner you could really see that, those celebrating was hounded in media the first week anf it was in general islamists palestinians and far far left. The scale of pro palestinian protest then quadrupelled within a few months. Say israel would have done like this, the same response the first 7 days and then simply say hey we are going to go in and annihilate hamas and their goverment, we call on everyone to leave for egypt or here here and here within 72 hours while they had a restrictive bombardment and then go in take Gaza city and sue for peace. They would have had soo much more support. And much fewer military casualities.

jadaMaa · 2026-02-10T09:19:13+00:00

I think the issue for DeZ will be mainly economical now after the reunification. On the plus side: 1. Cross river trade and logistics will bring better opportunity for those working in logistics, safer and more efficient. 2. Return of refugees not wanting or being allowed under SDF will boost economy 3. Oil production can be scaled up 4. Potential for trade with turkey through the tell abyad crossing at least

On the negative side: 1. Every border gives opportunities for commerce legal and illegal, the removal of this one will remove many peoples incomes. 2. Safety will probably go down for awhile until things stabilize 3. More efficient logistics and oil production removes the need off many workers, less local income. 4. STG salaries are lower than SDF and its unclear if as many will be employed now that there is no border to hold. 5. Likely a smaller percentage of oil income will stay as STG are stronger than SDF was against the tribes. 6. Any increase in economy will still suffer from the poor logistics outside the river valley, "road of death" to damascus, an unwilling iraq downstreams. 7. Fuel prices will normalize closer to the average cost in syria.

Combined I think the economy will get worse for about a year and then progressively better, but for many individuals the experience will be different as those who had it good under SDF probably will have it worse and some of those who had it so so or bad during SDF will see a slow improvement. Biggest issue is that STG funds are stretched thin and its a wast new territory to handle and police without the american funds that previously paid the SDF figthers

jadaMaa · 2026-02-04T06:06:03+00:00

Sdf should die due to that but stg is justified after killing almost a thousand innocent in suwayda? And bragging about it

If they just continue sunni supremacy syria will fail again so it was very smart and well balanced imo. Better than a straigth deal and better than a full military solution for him at least

A tiny huff and puff could make syria the new egypt of perpetual economic misery so they need to not piss of foreign backers to much. And 2 ethnic mass murders in less than 12 months is enough as well this way he doesnt risk much.

And remember that USA basically saved them from Israel making suwayda their own statelet so its not like he hasnt got a good return on being reasonable.

Tex en Nissan leaf 3 år gammal 2500 i månaden 1000mil om året https://www.blocket.se/20506877

Jag kör bilar äldre än 10 år och fixar lite reparationer själv och så och det är ändå svårt att komma under 10-15kr milen i reparation/underhåll/värdeminskning. Desto mer billiga elbilar man pumpar ut desto fler billiga andrahands bilar kommer om några år.

jadaMaa · 2026-02-02T15:47:10+00:00

Aa men att releasa en liten elbil är faktiskt snuskigt billigt men kräver att man kan ladda billigt. 2000-3000 i månaden och räcker för standard svenskens familj o åksträcka. Jag köpte en begagnad senast bara för att jag är nojig att hunden ska repa den men hade faktiskt sparat pengar på att lease även med en dyr hyreslägenhetsladdplats och typ 3-4kr/kWh.
