At the outset, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic would like to reiterate the position that it has already conveyed in detail to both the Secretary- General and the President of the Security Council in previous identical letters regarding the implementation of Security Council resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014), and would like to stress the following points: 1. The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic would like to stress that, both in the present report and its annex and in previous reports, certain parties in the Secretariat persist in trying to sell inaccurate facts and figures. The latter have been exaggerated in order to bolster claims about the great success of so-called cross- border international assistance and to deceive the Security Council and member States in pursuit of certain interests. The facts point to the opposite conclusion, which those parties are trying to conceal from the Security Council and the international community. The numbers themselves are the best proof that that is the case.

In accordance with Executive Council decisions EC-M-48/DEC.1 (dated 4 February 2015) and EC-M-50/DEC.1 (dated 23 November 2015), as well as by United Nations Security Council resolution 2209 (2015), the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) has continued to study all available information relating to allegations of use of chemical weapons in Syria, including that provided by the Syrian Arab Republic as well as by others. 2. This summary provides an update on the Fact-Finding Mission’s activities in 2016 in accordance with the aforementioned Executive Council decisions, as well as United Nations Security Council resolution 2209 (2015). METHODOLOGY RELATED TO THE COLLECTION AND EVALUATION OF INFORMATION 3. As recommended by the Executive Council, the FFM has collected and studied all available information related to allegations of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic. This includes information provided in notes verbales by the Syrian Arab Republic, as well as other sources. 4. For each allegation of use, the FFM conducts an initial evaluation of the incident based on all available information. Each incident is then categorised using the following criteria: (a) High: There is significant information consistent with the use of chemicals as weapons. (b) Medium: There is some information lending credence to the possibility of the use of chemicals, but it is currently insufficient to make a confident assessment of consistency with the use of chemicals as weapons.

  • Syria/Russia: Incendiary Weapons Burn in Aleppo, Idlib
    AUGUST 16, 2016 12:00AM EDT Syria/Russia: Incendiary Weapons Burn in Aleppo, Idlib Increasing Attacks on Civilian Areas Since Joint Operation Began (Beirut) – The joint Syrian-Russian military operation has been using incendiary weapons, which burn their victims and start fires, in civilian areas of Syria in violation of international law, Human Rights Watch said today. Incendiary weapons have been used at least 18 times over the past six weeks, including in attacks on the opposition-held areas in the cities of Aleppo and Idlib on August 7, 2016. Countries meeting at the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW) in Geneva on August 29, 2016 should condemn the use of air-dropped incendiary weapons in civilian areas of Syria in violation of the treaty’s Protocol III on incendiary weapons. They should encourage Syria to join the protocol and press Syria and Russia to immediately stop using incendiary weapons in civilian areas. They should also review the protocol and take steps to strengthen it. “The Syrian government and Russia should immediately stop attacking civilian areas with incendiary weapons,” said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch. “These weapons inflict horrible injuries and excruciating pain, so all countries should condemn their use in civilian areas.” A Human Rights Watch review of photographs and videos recorded at the time of attack and of the remnants afterward indicates there were at least 18 incendiary weapon attacks on opposition-held areas in Aleppo and Idlib governorates between June 5 and August 10. At least 12 civilians were reported wounded by witnesses and first responders in five of these attacks.

  • Hezbollah Locations SY
    Map Analysis Map of Hezbollah Presence in Syria ABDULWAHAB ASI senior researcher at Jusoor for Studies center Majd Kilany research assistant at Jusoor for Studies center "All rights reserved" Jusoor for Studies Center - 2020 www.jusoor.co Contents Introduction First: Hezbollah’s Distribution in Syria Second: The spread of Hezbollah at the provincial level 1. Aleppo 2. Idlib 3. Hama 4. Homs 5. Damascus and Damascus Countryside 6. Deraa 7. Quintera 8. As-Suwayda 9. Deir Ezzor Introduction Since 2011, the Lebanese Hezbollah started its intervention in Syria, providing advisory services to the regime forces and security apparatus. Hezbollah then began its unofficial military support on the ground for the regime. In April 2013, it launched a large-scale official military intervention during the battle for al-Qusayr near Homs. During the Syrian conflict, Hezbollah strengthened its military presence in the nine Syrian governorates by relying on its direct presence in areas and establishing local networks loyal to it. This study presents the distribution of Hezbollah forces in Syria and their locations with the aim of analyzing the reasons for this distribution and timeframe of events. Determining Hezbullah’s sites of concentration highlights its most important supply routes for weapons to Lebanon as well as the main Hezbollah training, armament and storage facilities in Syria. The report clarifies the strategic objectives Hezbollah has achieved from its intervention in Syria and explains its various military, security, cultural and economic activities. Jusoor Center for Studies’ map of Hezbollah’s military deployment in Syria is the first comprehensive map developed. While other maps of Hezbollah’s positions exist, none are as comprehensive or accurate.

Nevertheless, many armed terrorist groups announced that they would not commit to the ceasefire, and consequently, they continue their terrorist activities and attacks on civilians and public and private properties. At the same time, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of the terrorist group Al-Qaida, issued a statement in which he directed Al-Qaida terrorist members in Syria not only to continue in their fight, but also to escalate their operations. This statement, which was publicized by many media outlets, led to an unprecedented increase in the activities of armed terrorist groups and violations of the ceasefire in most governorates of Syria. In addition, there has been a big increase in number of explosions conducted by those terrorist groups of booby-trapped cars in Dara, Aleppo, Dayr al-Zawr and Rif Dimashq resulting in the death of many innocent civilians.
