The Middle East

The Yemeni army and popular forces continued their advances in Southern Saudi Arabia, inflicting losses on the military hardware of the kingdom’s government troops.

“On Monday, the Yemeni army and popular forces took control of a military base in Najran province.

“The Yemeni forces captured a military base with all its military equipment near the city of Najran,” Senior Ansarullah Commander Ali al-Hamzani told FNA.

He said that the Yemeni army and popular forces have intensified their military operations deep inside Saudi Arabia as they are sustaining further losses and casualties.”

“Senior Yemeni commander Ali al-Houthi told FNA on Saturday that there have been “heavy clashes between the Yemeni forces and the Saudi mercenaries in the Eastern parts of Ma’rib”, adding that the Saudi-backed mercenaries sustained heavy death toll during the battle.

“Tens of the Saudi-backed forces have been killed and wounded in Ta’iz and Ma’rib provinces,” he said, and continued, “Also, over 100 Saudi coalition-backed mercenaries have fled their bases after their wages were delayed and cut.”

Also late last month, another Yemeni commander also disclosed that a large number of pro-Saudi mercenaries have fled the battlefield as the Saudi government has ceased its support for them.

“After the Saudi government stopped its financial support for the terrorists and militias loyal to the Saudi regime, a growing wave of the terrorists are leaving the Saudi-led Arab coalition military bases,” Senior Ansarullah Commander Hossein Al-Houthi said.”

On Dec 6, 2016 People in Yemen have staged a mass rally to voice their support for the newly formed national salvation government.

The demonstrators also slammed Saudi Arabia’s air raids on Yemen. They shouted slogans against the al-Saud regime as well as Israel. The salvation government is led by former governor of Aden, Abdul Aziz Bin Habtoor. It is tasked with running Yemen’s internal affairs and dealing with Saudi Arabia’s aggression against the impoverished nation. Over eleven-thousand 4-hundred Yemenis have been killed since the Saudi war began in March 2015.

UN passes resolution calling on Israel to withdraw from Syria’s Golan Heights

The United Nations General Assembly has once again passed a resolution calling on Israel to withdraw from Syria’s Golan Heights, territory that the Tel Aviv regime has occupied since 1967.

In response, on Dec 7, 2016 the Israeli military has razed more Palestinian structures in the Jordan Valley, north of the city of Jericho. Israeli bulldozers, backed by troops, demolished two healthcare facilities in the area. Palestinian sources said Israeli forces also destroyed several steel structures there. It followed similar demolitions in East Jerusalem al-Quds on Tuesday. Tel Aviv has intensified its demolition of Palestinian property since January. The United Nations say the demolition of Palestinian homes has displaced over 1,500people in 2016. That’s almost double the figure for the previous year.

In addition on Dec 7, 2016 Syrian military sources say Israel has launched rocket attacks, targeting a military airport near the Syrian capital Damascus. The ground-to-ground missiles were reportedly launched from inside the occupied territories and hit Mezzeh Airport west of Damascus. The rockets triggered a fire, but no causalities have been reported so far. The Israeli military has not commented on the report. It was the second such attack by Israel over the past week. On November 30, Israeli jets fired two missiles from Lebanese airspace toward the outskirts of Damascus.

Meanwhile, the military veterans left without means to exist demonstrate against Avakov, the country’s the Minister of Internal Affairs.  It’s being reported by the Hromadske TV, a rabidly anti-Russia propaganda tool.

The U.S. Navy’s Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group (Ike CSG) entered the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations

The U.S. Navy’s Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group (Ike CSG) entered the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations on December 4 following a Suez Canal transit.

Aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (Ike) was accompanied by guided-missile destroyer USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) and guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG 56), after five months of providing air support operations in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and conducting maritime security operations in the Arabian Gulf.

In the last Obama’s National Security speech, he unveils the plans to finish up the Iraq’s military in order to the US to stay in Iraq forever.

He literally says: “By 2011, Iraqis wanted our military presence to end, and they were unwilling to sign a new Status of Forces Agreement to protect our troops from prosecution if they were trying to defend themselves in Iraq. ” “In fact, American troops, had they stayed there, would have lacked legal protections…”
