New round of escalation in Idlib & a Russian warning that White Helmets are preparing to stage a 'large-scale' false flag chemical attack in Aleppo
November 6-11:
There has been much more action on the Idlib front in the past few days, with escalating tensions there indicating that a Syrian military offensive on the terrorist-occupied province may once again be on the horizon. The al-Qaeda group in control of the province, Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS) along with other allied groups in Idlib have continually violated the de-escalation ceasefire agreement since it was implemented in September, clearly attempting to sabotage it and provoke war with Syrian forces. In the past few days, however, the terrorist groups have really been ramping up their attacks on nearby Syrian military positions following HTS military drills in Idlib on November 6.
This looks to be an obvious coordinated attempt to collapse the ceasefire agreement and provoke the SAA to war. Syria has repeatedly warned that if the violations are not stopped, the SAA will move to resume its planned military offensive against the terrorists in Idlib. If this occurs, it will create the desirable conditions for the White Helmet to carry out a planned false flag chemical attack to be blamed on Syrian forces, to provoke the US to intervene on behalf of the terrorists against the Syrian army.
On November 6, the Russian Ambassador to the UN warned "that the so-called “White Helmets” terrorist organization is plotting a new play through using chemical weapons in Aleppo Countryside with the aim of accusing the Syrian Arab Army." This is at the same time as the HTS military drills. Then on November 10, HTS carried out two attacks - in Hama & Latakia - and even claimed to have killed seven Russian troops in northern Hama. On November 11, the SAA intercepted and repelled a large attacking terrorist force from the ranks of HTS and the "Turkistan Islamic Party". Later on November 11, the HTS-allied “Wa Harid al-Muminin” operation room carried out two machine-gun attacks around Aleppo and Hama.
It sure seems like a coordinated play, the increased terrorist attacks immediately following a Russian warning that the terrorists were again preparing to stage a chemical attack.
During a session of the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East on Monday, Nebenzya said “We continue to receive alarming information on that terrorist organizations in Syria along with the (White Helmets) are still preparing for large-scale provocations through using toxic substances to accuse the Syrian army and to provide pretexts for launching new aggression on Syria.”
He noted that Russia obtained information on that terrorists of the so-called “Turkistan Army” and the “White Helmets” transported 20 containers of liquid chlorine and canisters containing toxic substances to Ezaz town and other areas in Aleppo Countryside, in addition to equipment required for filming their new provocative play. - SANA
