Last ISIS pocket within Damascus (I think) now being cleared with most of them agreeing to leave the area for the desert.

Just leaves the ISIS pocket near the Golan left in that part of the country AFAIK.

No news on findings of that chemical attack or does the media simply no longer care and have something better to faux outrage about ?
 
I wonder if any of ISIS members are now thinking, "oh well that was a waste of time wasnt it" As if their caliphate was ever going to stick anyway, but how could it not succeed they wonder, god was on their side right?

I expect a few more terror attacks in europe over the next few months as the remnants scurry back home :(

Pretty sure that a significant number are scurrying off to Afghan.

Considering that the Golan is currently being occupied by the Israeli army that could prove an issue as the Israelis are likely to preemptively kill in self defence any soldiers that come near the area.

Still Al Shadadi and places along the MERV but as alluded, most of their higher leadership suspected as being relocated to Libya, Yemen, etc.

Good thing about this victory is that it frees up so many soldiers to fight at the main fronts.

Rebuilding of Aleppo has begun, faster then I expected.

Yes, the southern campaign has been an outstanding success for everyone for all sides, few battles, less bloodshed, lots of reconciliation, lots of videos and photos of both sides taking selfies with each other and hugging.

Once the final last large pocket is given over or taken and the last pocket of ISIS is destroyed, there be more soldiers allowed to leave the Army and return to their lives and a lot will be moved up north for the Idib campaign which if they don't follow their southern brothers is going to turn very bloody for the terrorists there.


Major moment in the history of Syria as the Syrian National Frag is raised over Daraa City, where the civil war started.

Biggest thing that is surprising me the most is how fast normal life is returning to everywhere, streets are being cleaned up, shops are reopening, markets are coming back to life, security infrastructure being removed, highways reopened, buildings being rebuilt and patched up.

Because sadly, the events of war have long become a daily normal occurrence for most here. I've watched guerrilla skirmishes continue, whilst 2000lb bombs level tower blocks, the whole while a few mile away families in an unaffected villages just down the road continue their day to day life like it's nothing. Very disturbing.

Final battle to destroy ISIS in the south begun 4 hours ago.

Once they are destroyed, the entire south is back under the control of the Syrian people and government.

The interesting facts is that the former rebel groups are also fighting side by side with the SSA as part of the reconciliation deals.
 
So ISIS are loosing a lot of ground, but what happens when the dust settles? Are we still going to fund and supply the 'moderate rebels' and then it becomes part 2 of the civil war?

The rebels barely have more territory than ISIS at this point, they will fall next now the US has disowned them. Hell, if you ignore the pocket of rebel territory in the south east with nothing of interest in it then Turkey hold just as much Syrian territory.
