southfront--2020-07-03--String Of ISIS Attacks Continues In Syrian Desert

Until when do this Israel Criminal false flag will be tolerated by Russia and the discredited UN ?
?
?
======================================================= https : //www.globalresearch.ca/isis-is-a-us-israeli-creation-top-ten-indications/5518627 Relevant article first posted on GR in April 2016 .
ISIS is a US-Israeli creation , a fact as clear as the sky is blue .
It ’ s a truth as black and white as the colors on their flag .
For many alternative news readers , this may be patently obvious , but this article is written for the large majority of people in the world who still have no idea who is really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter which name they go by – ISIS , ISIL , IS or Daesh – the group has been deliberately engineered by the US and Israel to achieve certain geopolitical goals .
They are a religious , fundamentalist , Sunni terrorist organization created to terrorize and overthrow certain secular or Shiite Arab nations such as Syria and Iraq , but they are not just “ Islamic ” .
They may be Muslims , and they may be advocating an Islamic State , but they are very much working towards the goals of Zionism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people still struggle to get that point .
We have been inundated with propaganda surrounding the fraudulent war on terror , notably terms such as Islamic terrorism and radical Islam , but more accurate phrases would be Zio-Islamic terrorism and radical Zio-Islam .
Secret military agencies such as the CIA and the Mossad pull the strings .
Here is a list of the top 10 ‘ indications ’ that ISIS is a US-Israeli creation .
The DIA ( Defense Intelligence Agency ) is 1 of 16 US military intelligence agencies .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the DIA wrote on August 12 , 2012 that : “ there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist Principality in eastern Syria ( Hasaka and Der Zor ) , and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want , in order to isolate the Syrian regime … ” This was written before ISIS came on to the world stage .
Clearly ISIS was no random uprising , but rather a carefully groomed and orchestrated controlled opposition group .
The “ supporting powers to the opposition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Turkey and the GCC nations such as Qatar , who are in turn being supported by the US-UK-Israeli axis in their struggle to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad .
As I outlined in this article Syrian Ground War About to Begin ?
WW3 Inches Closer , the US is backing the Sunni nations while Russia , China and Iran are backing the Shia nations , so there is the definite potential for this to erupt into World War 3 .
Below are screenshots of the actual DIA document : It is more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attacks Israel – it is another indication that ISIS is controlled by Israel .
If ISIS were a genuine and independent uprising that was not covertly orchestrated by the US and Israel , why would they not try to attack the Zionist regime , which has attacked almost of all of its Muslim neighbors ever since its inception in 1948 ?
Israel has attacked Egypt , Syria and Lebanon , and of course has decimated Palestine .
It has systemically tried to divide and conquer its Arab neighbors .
It continually complains of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes on the scene as the bloody and barbaric king of Islamic terrorism , it finds no fault with Israel and sees no reason to target a regime which has perpetrated massive injustice against Muslims ?
This stretches credibility to a snapping point .
ISIS and Israel don ’ t attack each other – they help each other .
Israel was treating ISIS soldiers and other anti-Assad rebels in its hospitals !
Mortal enemies or best of friends ?
Why Russia is Serious about Fighting Terrorism and the US Isn ’ t .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ did ISIS get an entire fleet of matching Toyota pick-up trucks ?
Why do so many of its photo shots feature a fleet of matching Toyotas – matching in both model and color ?
As this Information Clearing House article humorously states : “ The official story is ISIS stole them from the “ Good Terrorists ” ( Al Nusra ) , who were originally given their cool wheels by the US government .
Which would seem to beg a couple of enquiries .
Not least of which is – why are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ luxury SUVs ?
And for that matter , how many fleets are we talking about ?
So , exactly how many trucks did the US supply ?
Where are ISIS currently garaging this impressive collection ?
And why do they all have to be Toyotas ?
Is it a terrorist thing , or simply a US Govt preference ?
Do Toyota mind the brand-association ?
Or the fact that so many of the ISIS drive-by photo-ops look like perverted car ads ?
” Some of these trucks were actually used vehicles that got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Syria .
This Texan plumber discovered to his horror that his old truck was being used in the war , replete with his business name still on the door !
The issue of the Toyotas leads us to the next question about ISIS .
Who ’ s handling their publicity ?
How have they managed to get so many photos of Toyota truck drive bys ?
How have they managed to master Western social media so well to spread their message , propaganda and threats ?
How have they managed to produce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
How does a barbaric group of killers , who speak a language very different to English , who espouse fundamentalist , religious ideals ( such as Sharia law ) , and often criticize all things Western , manage to develop such excellent social media skills ?
ISIS is a US-Israeli Creation : Indication # 5 : Israeli Group SITE First to Release ISIS Footage Another key giveaway that ISIS is a US-Israeli creation is that the Israeli group SITE ( Search for International Terrorist Entities ) are often the first to find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their co-founder Rita Katz has let slip on occasion ) .
SITE was involved in the slew of fake green screen ISIS beheadings of 2014 .
Speaking of fake beheadhings , why did this fictional Turkish TV drama show a beheading just like that of ISIS ?
Although this indication is hard to confirm , there were reports apparently originating from Edward Snowden that the leader of ISIS ( Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ) was actually an Israeli Mossad agent by the name of Simon Elliot or Elliot Shimon : [ GR Editor ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are yet to be fully verified , including the source originating from Eduard Snowden ] “ Simon Elliot ( Elliot Shimon ) aka Al-Baghdadi was born of two Jewish parents and is a Mossad agent .
We offer below three translations that want to assert that the Caliph Al-Baghdadi is a full Mossad agent and that he was born Jewish father and mother : The real name of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is “ Simon Elliott.
” The so-called “ Elliot ” was recruited by the Israeli Mossad and was trained in espionage and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This information was attributed to Edward Snowden … ” Bashar Assad , President of Syria .
The US has been actively plotting strategies to destabilize and overthrow his government .
Julian Assange of Wikileaks did a great job in capturing information about what was happening in Syria years before the “ Arab springs ” and current war started in 2011 .
He reveals how William Roebuck , then chargé d ’ affaires at the US embassy in Damascus , was plotting to destablize the Syrian government .
The following quotes from Roebuck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was outlining the vulnerabilities of Assad : — THE ALLIANCE WITH TEHRAN : Bashar is walking a fine line in his increasingly strong relations with Iran , seeking necessary support while not completely alienating Syria , s moderate Sunni Arab neighbors by being perceived as aiding Persian and fundamentalist Shia interests .
Bashar ’ s decision to not attend the Talabani ) Ahmadinejad summit in Tehran following FM Moallem , s trip to Iraq can be seen as a manifestation of Bashar ’ s sensitivity to the Arab optic on his Iranian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ OF IRANIAN INFLUENCE : There are fears in Syria that the Iranians are active in both Shia proselytizing and conversion of , mostly poor , Sunnis .
Though often exaggerated , such fears reflect an element of the Sunni community in Syria that is increasingly upset by and focused on the spread of Iranian influence in their country through activities ranging from mosque construction to business .
Both the local Egyptian and Saudi missions here , ( as well as prominent Syrian Sunni religious leaders ) , are giving increasing attention to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with their governments on ways to better publicize and focus regional attention on the issue.
” Before Russia militarily entered Syria , the US claims it was “ attacking ” ISIS , yet Russia was able to do in a few months what the US has been unable to do for years .
Why ?
Is the US military that incompetent , or this is further proof that the US has been funding and supporting ISIS all this time ?
At one point there were even reports that US soldiers were told not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if they had a clear view of them , as this Free Beacon article reports : “ U.S .
military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike , according to a leading member of Congress.
” Why did US State Department spokesman Mark Toner struggle to celebrate the fact that ISIS had lost Palmyra recently ?
ISIS is a US-Israeli Creation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Excuse for Further Intervention Finally , consider this : why is ISIS always the perfect excuse for further military intervention in Syria ?
Given the history of foreign meddling in Syria , particularly by the US and Israel in the last 70 years , isn ’ t it rather convenient that the specter of ISIS is the justification offered for proposed no-fly zones , air strikes and ground troops ?
How would the US and Israel conquer the Middle East without their pet Frankenstein ISIS ?
Share this article with those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth about ISIS .
Many have already seen through the propaganda .
Once enough of us do , the usefulness of this ridiculous , dangerous and vaudevillian terrorist group will expire – and maybe a critical mass of people will pull back the curtain and , for once , get a glimpse of the true puppetmasters .
ISIS is a US-Israeli Creation : Indication # 10 : ISIS is an Acronym for Mossad .
[ The Israeli Secret Intelligence Service .
Interesting Coincidence ] ISIS itself is an acronym , not just for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but for Israeli Secret Intelligence Service !
This is another way to describe the Mossad , the shady Zionist spy agency whose motto is “ by way of deception , thou shalt do war ” .
In this video ( below ) , the 2 authors being interviewed ( Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman ) admit that the acronym ISIS = Mossad .
Makia Freeman is the editor of alternative news / independent media site The Freedom Articles and senior researcher at ToolsForFreedom.com ( FaceBook here ) , writing on many aspects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the worldwide conspiracy to suggesting solutions for how humanity can create a new system of peace and abundance .

Since the start of the week, the Syrian Army has repelled several ISIS attacks on its positions in the desert in central Syria.
The most recent attack took place in eastern Homs early on July 2 and became the largest one so far. Clashes lasted for several hours and Syrian troops even called for support from the Russian Aerospace Forces. Pro-opposition media claim that up to 10 soldiers were killed on injured in the encounter, but this is yet to be confirmed.
In response to this attack, the Syrian Air Force and the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a series of raids against detected positions of the terrorist group on the western bank of the Euphrates and near the US-controlled al-Tanf zone on July 2 and July 3.
According to Syrian sources, hundreds of ISIS members still hide in the desert using underground tunnels and mobile groups of fighters equipped with all that is needed to operate independently. Over the past months, the Syrian military has made several attempts to track and eliminate these units. However, it has achieved only a partial success.
On July 2, forces of Turkey’s Syrian National Army shelled a positon of the Syrian Army west of the Turkish-occupied town of Tell Abyad triggering local clashes. The most intense fighting erupted near the village of Abdi. According to pro-government sources, at least one Syrian soldier was injured and a few Turkish proxies were killed.
Turkish-backed forces continue regular ceasefire violations despite the recent military buildup undertaken by the Syrian Army near the contact line in northeastern Syria. Most likely, Turkish proxies feel a kind of impunity thanks to the direct protection of the Turkish Armed Forces. This behavior instigates military tensions in the region.
Meanwhile, Syrian forces blocked a US military convoy at the al-Dardara bridge on the road between Tel Tamr and Abu Rasin in the northern countryside of Hasaka. After a short verbal confrontation, the US convoy withdrew from the area. Recently, such incidents between Syrian and US forces in Hasakah province became something common. Apparently, the Damascus government boosted its efforts to limit the freedom of operations of the US-led coalition there.
The situation stabilized in the militant-held part of Greater Idlib. After almost a week of clashes and competing accusations by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and the Fa Ithbatu coalition (both groups linked with al-Qaeda), the sides reached a ceasefire deal. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham once again demonstrated that it is the most influential and militarily capable group in the opposition-held area.
