Syria is going to enter the new year with old problems. In the last days of December, various regions of the country faced new waves of hostilities.
In the north-western region of Greater Idlib, the ceasefire is barely holding up. It was brokered by both Turkey and Russia in 2020. While Turkey is supporting local militants, training them in the use of battle tanks, almost unilateral efforts of the Russian warplanes to fight terrorism continue.
In the last days of December, the Russian Aerospace Forces intensified their operations against the al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the de-facto ruler of Greater Idlib, and its allies.
Five Russian airstrikes targeted the outskirts of the towns of Barisha, Kafr Aruq and Ma’arrat Misrin in the northern and eastern countryside of Idlib. At least four more airstrikes hit the outskirts of the town of Sheikh Bahir in the northern countryside of Idlib.
Militants of HTS and its allies attempted to shot down Russian warplanes with heavy machine guns, but they failed.
Three other airstrikes hit the Sheikh Baraka Mount near the town of Darat Izza in the western Aleppo countryside.
There is no sign that the situation in Greater Idlib is going to improve in the coming year.
Meanwhile in Latakia, Syrian authorities are trying to cope with the disaster after the Israeli attack on December 28.
Syrian security forces raided a number of apartment buildings overlooking the port of Lattakia. At least four people were apprehended during the raids. Security forces also inspected the buildings, located across the port in Gamal Abdel Nasser street.
Syrian security forces may have arrested spies, or removed surveillance systems which were planted by the Israeli intelligence near the port.
In northern Syria, tensions between the Kurdish and Turkish-backed forces are on the rise.
On December 30, artillery belonging to Turkish-backed fighters hit the Tel Tamr frontline, including Umm al Kayf, Al Dardara, Tel Shenan, Tel Juma, Tel Jerabi, and Tel Kefshi. The YPG positions were hit with artillery fire on the Abu Raseyn line east of Rasulayn. At the same time the SDF said more than 60 rockets targeted Ain Isa countryside.
All-around, Syria is entering a new year of violence. The military and security situation remained disastrous during the past year, while more efforts are apparently needed to see any significant improvement in the political field, where almost all processes are stuck with no progress.

When Israel attacked the port in Latakia, they again chose the moment when the Russian military transport plane was landing. A tragedy could have happened again when, during an Israeli attack, a Russian transport plane was mistakenly shot down by Syrian air defenses.
Don’t be sorry for what game is playing out by Russia, Pootin and his Zio terrorist Jew god in Occupied Palestine!! This was okayed and coordinated by both, with the excuse being put forth about their aircraft landing,etc. How did the children of Lucifer squatters KNOW BEFORE A FLIGHT WOULD BE COMING IN?🤔🤔🤔🤔
Syria has become the devil’s playground, Andrew. It figures into Zionism’s crazy end-times eschatology. US Christian Zionists see the destruction of Damascus as the precursor to Armageddon. Oh, Russia is Gog and Putin is Magog. 80% of these folks voted for Trump in the last election. He was their ticket to the Rapture. What happened? Did he and Pompeo just run out of time? Only God knows.
