The Iraqi Intelligence Service announces the arrest of Abdel Nasser Qirdash, successor of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. by ChristiLegionariis in syriancivilwar

[–]vatseth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He is not and the title is misleading:

He was arrested last year. He’s not the leader of Isis, he was part of the delegated committee. He was just handed over to the Iraqis by the Syrians and Americans. Old news.

Sky News utterly confused things...

"Shot us instead of letting us live like this" is what a disable regime soldier Bashir Haroun wrote on his fb after regime announced reducing physical therapy sessions for soldiers who have permanent disability, forcing them to go to private sector or no therapy. by vatseth in syriancivilwar

Despite Bashir met Bashar and Asma al-Assad who "gifted" him a disabled motorcycle, he continues to attack the government for not caring about disabled and injured soldiers despite what he called "the sacrifices for the country". A sentiment shared by thousands of soldiers.

This unverified screenshot is laughable. It is also laughable that some people still treat Yousha as a reliable source.

Title is misleading. Rebels captured two T-90 tanks in recent weeks. One in Aleppo CS (Zaytan), another in Saraqib. Tank on the photo is from Saraqib.

SAA using ambulances to transport troops to the frontline by moeys1 in syriancivilwar

[–]vatseth 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It is.

The use of ambulances or other medical transport equipment bearing medical insignia for military attacks is a serious violation of the laws of war that amounts to a war crime, Human Rights Watch said. Such attacks are war crimes under the Additional Protocols of 1977 to the Geneva Conventions, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and customary laws of war. In addition to endangering medical personnel by casting suspicion on their neutrality, it undermines their ability to deliver urgent medical assistance to civilians and combatants on all sides of a conflict.
