TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian army regained the control of a key town near the capital Damascus.
Military officials said on Thursday that the army recaptured the town of al-Thawra in al-Kiswah district, which is located in Damascus countryside, Albawaba reported.
The army also reportedly destroyed a large cache of weapons.
The development came after Syria’s presidential election, which ended in Basher al-Assad's landslide victory.
Analysts believe that the election will boost the army's morale in its fight against the militants.
Over the past months, the Syrian army has achieved major victories in its battle against Takfiri groups across the country, particularly in the Western region of Qalamoun near the Lebanese border.
In relevant remarks, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on Thursday that the clout of supporters of terrorists operating inside Syria is in decline and that in the wake of the June 3 presidential election, western sponsors of terrorists will lose their power.
The Syrian army also gained more ground in the Damascus countryside on Wednesday near the key town of al-Mleha.
Army units retook the town’s Northern and Eastern parts following a daylong clash with militants.
Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since March 2011. According to reports, the western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey -- are supporting the militants operating inside Syria.

La conquête djihadiste s'accélère dans le nord de l'Irak

Le premier ministre Nouri al-Maliki demande l'instauration de l'état d'urgence, après la chute de Mossoul et de sa province.

En l'espace de 24 heures, les rebelles, dominés par plusieurs centaines de djihadistes, ont accéléré leur conquête du «pays sunnite». D'abord en s'emparant avant l'aube mardi deMossoul, la deuxième ville d'Irak à 350 kilomètres au nord de Bagdad. En face, militaires et policiers ont rapidement abandonné leurs positions, ayant juste le temps, avant de s'enfuir, de mettre le feu à des dépôts de carburant et de munitions pour empêcher leurs ennemis de l'État islamique en Irak et au Levant (EIIL) de s'en emparer.
Scènes de débandade également à la base militaire de Ghizlani, au sud de Mossoul, où une rumeur persistance indiquait que plusieurs hélicoptères de combat étaient passés entre leurs mains. Débandade encore autour des prisons, où les djihadistes, équipés de lance-roquettes et d'armes antiaériennes, ont libéré plus d'un millier de détenus. Pendant ce temps, de nombreuses familles quittaient leur domicile pour rejoindre la région autonome voisine du Kurdistan. «Mossoul est un enfer, la ville est en feu», se lamentait un habitant, cité par l'agence Reuter.
Gouvernorat, barrages policiers, télévisions: les uns après les autres, les symboles de l'État tombaient. Mais les djihadistes, épaulés par d'autres groupes insurgés et des tribus en colère contre la politique antisunnite du premier ministre, ont poursuivi leur avancée en prenant le contrôle d'autres villes dans la province de Ninive. Ils sont également entrés dans la localité de Karaqosh, à 30 km au sud-est de Mossoul où s'étaient réfugiés de nombreux chrétiens, avant d'en ressortir, après avoir désarmé la milice chrétienne en charge de la protection de la cité.
L'armée impuissante

«À Mossoul, les combats ont été très violents», souligne un expert étranger, joint au téléphone à Bagdad. «Mais l'armée n'a pas les moyens de faire face, encore moins de reprendre à court terme ces villes». Les soldats sont démoralisés et en position de faiblesse face à des combattants - souvent des anciens de l'armée de Saddam Hussein - habitués à la guérilla urbaine. Résultat: pour la première fois, les djihadistes ont pris le contrôle d'une province entière. Et après Ninive, ils se sont dirigés plus au sud, vers la région de Salah ad-Dine. Avec deux objectifs: la raffinerie de pétrole de Baiji et la ville de Samarra, qui abrite un important mausolée chiite que les radicaux sunnites rêvent de détruire. Son endommagement en 2006 avait lancé la guerre civile entre chiites et sunnites, qui allait faire des dizaines de milliers de morts à travers le pays.
Au-delà de Samarra, les djihadistes cherchent à étendre leur contrôle sur la province d'al-Anbar, au sud-ouest de Mossoul, où ils occupent Faloudja et des quartiers de Ramadi, depuis cinq mois. Al-Anbar est avec Ninive limitrophe de la Syrie. Or l'EIIL ne fait plus mystère de sa volonté d'unifier ses positions de part et d'autre de la frontière pour créer une sorte «d'al-Qaidaland» syro-irakien.
Inquiet, al-Maliki a demandé au Parlement de décréter l'état d'urgence, tout en proposant d'armer la population, quitte à aggraver le chaos. La marginalisation de ses adversaires, doublée de nombreuses arrestations, est pourtant largement responsable de cette dangereuse dérive. Même si la polarisation chiites-sunnites a permis au premier ministre de mobiliser sa communauté aux élections législatives à l'issue desquelles sa liste est arrivée en tête. Jamais, les conquêtes territoriales des rebelles n'ont été aussi importantes. L'issue de la crise est probablement entre les mains des tribus sunnites qui oscillent entre les deux camps. Mais face à la puissance de feu djihadiste, que peuvent-elles faire? Sans véritable partage du pouvoir par al-Maliki, ses ennemis profiteront de son jusqu'au-boutisme pour menacer Bagdad.La conquête djihadiste s'accélère dans le nord de l'Irak

Intanto la milizia sciita irachena al-Abbas si sta ritirando dalla Siria per tornare in Iraq....

L'esercito siriano continua a dilagare ...cade pure la città di Al-Thawra, un sobborgo di Damasco!

Cavolo sono mesi e mesi che "dilagano" e ancora devono rendere sicura Damasco!

Ma a quale prezzo, visto che la Siria di fatti e' un paese distrutto.

Peccato per te che le figure chiavi che dominavano in quei paesi sono stati neutralizzate e non ci sono mai stati "annunci di truppe che dilagavano" per poi ritarsi con la coda tra le gambe portando enormi distruzioni in citta, villaggi e facendo decine di migliaia di morti.

La "vittoria" di Assad piu volta salutata in questo forum, non c'e. La Siria e' un paese distrutto nella sua unita nazionale (ammesso ci fosse mai stata!) e nella sua economia.

Il resto sono chiacchiere.

Guarda che è da un anno intero che nessuno si ritira con la coda tra le gambe .

The US government is encouraging terrorism in Syria by supplying arms to foreign-backed militants operating in the conflict-stricken country, an analyst tells Press TV.

“The US and its NATO allies are actually instigating terrorism in Syria. The policy is extremely aggressive and extremely criminal,” Scott Rickard told Press TV in an interview.
He said the US is arming terrorists against a “sovereign nation” which recently reelected Bashar al-Assad as president.
The United States is reportedly providing antitank weapons, such as BGM-71 TOW (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided) missiles, to Syria militants as the government of Assad is set to beat the deadly three-year militancy.
Rickard said the US-supplied weapons are “falling into the wrong hands” in Syria.

He called into question the US claims that the weapons are provided for “moderate” militants, saying, “I challenge the United States or any of its NATO partners to find a ‘moderate group’ that has been fighting against al-Assad for three years.”

The analyst said the US government is prolonging the “multi-year criminal war” in Syria.
Even the head of the so-called Free Syrian Army, Abdul-Ilah al-Bashir, has warned that the US arms supplies to militants in Syria could turn the Arab country into another Somalia.
Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since March 2011. Over 160,000 people have reportedly been killed and millions displaced due to the violence fueled by the militants.
According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey -- are supporting the militants operating inside Syria.

The Syrian army has recaptured the strategic town of Kassab near the country’s border with Turkey in the northwestern province of Latakia.



The Syrian soldiers killed a large number of militants in Latakia and reestablished security there.
The town of Kassab has been under siege by the foreign-backed militants for more than two months.

The ethnic Armenian-inhabited town is strategically important due to its vicinity to Syria’s only border crossing with Turkey.
In Homs countryside, western Syria, army units also recaptured the village of Um-Sharshouh.
On Saturday, Takfiri militants, mostly from the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front, fled Kassab after Syrian army tanks took position in the nearby villages signaling an impending attack.
The militants are said to have pulled back to their strongholds in the rural mountainous region of Jabal al-Akrad.
Over the past months, Syrian army has achieved major victories in its battle against Takfiri groups across the Arab country, particularly in the western region of Qalamoun near the Lebanese border.
On June 5, Syrian troops regained control of the town of al-Thawra in Kiswah District near the capital, Damascus, killing a large number of militants. Sources said that army forces also destroyed militant hideouts in the nearby town of Zakia.
Syria has been gripped by deadly violence for more than three years. Over 160,000 people have reportedly been killed and millions of others displaced due to the turmoil fueled by the foreign-backed militants.
