A Syrian rebel leader may have been killed in a Russian airstrike on a terrorist hideout after his forces seized Aleppo in a shock offensive, local media has reported.

Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the current commander-in-chief of the Hay'at Tahrir al-Shamgroup, is understood to have been inside the building at the time of the attack.

Meanwhile, Israel is said to be preparing for a scenario where it would need to act if the situation deteriorates.

Intelligence chiefs have reportedly told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'the collapse of the Assad regime would likely create chaos in which military threats against Israel would develop.'

Syrian Christians in #Aleppo, #Syria, are in grave danger from the invading demonic #AlQaeda/#ISIS terrorists who have already begun removing all Christmas decorations and beheading captured soldiers. Western Media are cheering on the terrorists and calling them by the propaganda term “rebels.” Please pray for our fellow Christians & other minorities in harm’s way in Syria. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Sounds like the DNC and Neocons are using a new front to, once and for all, take out Israel.

Would Assad have a loose nuke or two laying around?

Orthodox Ping!

Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!

Alleppo was the site of the centuries old pillar on which dwelt St. Simeon Stylletas (Commemorated on September 1, the beginning of the Orthodox Ecclesastical year). It was destroyed by ISIS within the past decade.

Further destruction of this city on the First Sunday of (Western Christian) Advent--and the Western Church's beginning of the ecclesiasitcal year) is too ironic to be merely coincidental.

Kyrie eleison!

Israel doesn’t need any more problems.

Is this Turks being Turks?

In my experience Turks see themselves as the victims of everybody 1,000 miles around.

It makes no difference if the “victimizer” is Muslim or not.

It’s becoming hazardous to be a military leader these days...

Am praying and will continue to pray.

By the way, this is an excellent article illustrating the islamic extremist motivation of the territorial takeover. Thank you for posting it!

Nope. Assad has no nukes. He has two good cards in his hand. First, Russia is not willing to lose its last remaining ally in the Middle East. Second, the governments of the Middle East would rather have Assad running Syria than any Al Qaeda offshoot. No one wants Syria to become another Afghanistan.

There really is no winners in this confrontation, but I do empathize with the large Christian population now facing a radical Islamic threat...

The Biden Administration ALWAYS wants to have it both ways, don’t they?

It’s Assad’s (and Russia’s!) fault yet “we dindo nuffin’”, it’s those rascally islamonazi terrorist orgs what did the attackin’.

“The Biden Administration” (and the American state department) is a cesspool of demonic activity. I pray that President Trump applies a wrecking ball to that institutional stronghold.

Israel could do itself and us a solid by wrecking them from the air..

Boy, I can’t keep up with who are enemies in one place and not exectly allies nor enemies in others.

Too bad NATO doesn’t realize what others do...our common enemy is islam.

Well, probably not to western european countries, who have completely lost their minds.

Not this time. This is Turkey looking to expand. The current force advancing on Damascus is trained and equipped by Turkey, with more than a bit of their equipment being current (not old) Turkish issue. Erdogan of Turkey is looking for more territory and is seizing the opportunity.

Forcing Israel to go in? Funny how Israel never attacks ISIS or Salafist rebels. They only attack Syrian forces.

Negative. The best way forward for Israel is to wait and see who wins this new fight... and then blast whoever wins. Syria would be unable to threaten Israel again for a generation or two.
