The attack took place shortly after the first stirrings of trouble in the southern Syrian city of Daraa in March 2011.
Several old Russian-made military trucks packed with Syrian security forces rolled onto a hard slope on a valley road between Daraa al-Mahata and Daraa al-Balad. Unbeknown to the passengers, the sloping road was slick with oil poured by gunmen waiting to ambush the troops.

حسابات الربح والخسارة في اعادة انتخاب الاسد
1 تموز (يوليو) 2014, بقلم ريمون عطااللهختم الاخضر الابراهيمي الموفد الخاص للامم المتحدة وللجامعة العربية الى سوريا مهمته باستقالة تلاها كلام اراده نقطة على الحرف.
فالديبلوماسي الجزائري لم يكن ذاك الوسيط الذي ارضى دمشق التي طالما عكست تصريحاتها نفوراً من تصرفاته وتجاوزاته لمهمته، ليس آخرها ما جاء على لسانه قبيل استقالته من ان اجراء الانتخابات الرئاسية السورية سيبعد البلاد اكثر فاكثر عن قطار الحل السياسي.
كما انه عبّر عما لم تسمح له مهمته الرسمية بقوله عن العقدة الاساس في الحرب السورية وهي تهافت الغرب وبعض العرب وتركيا على (…) -
التهيئة للحرب الأهلية (١٩٧٥-١٩٩٠) [٢/٢]: النخبة تُسقِط شــرعية الدولة
11 أيار (مايو) 2014, بقلم ألبر داغرمثّل الرئيس حلو مرشّح تسوية في المنازلة بين الأقطاب الموالين للشهابية ومعارضيها. وحين أجريت الانتخابات التي أتت بالرئيس فرنجيه، كانت ثمة ثلاث كتل في البرلمان هي الحلف والنهج والكتلة الوسطية. كان الرئيس أحد مؤسسي هذه الأخيرة، ومعادياً للشهابية.
ضرب الجيش
سوف تكون انتخابات ١٩٧٠، ومجيء الرئيس فرنجيه سبباً لانكفاء الشهابية وما مثلته لجهة دور الجيش و«المكتب الثاني». يشير الدكتور الصليبي إلى أن الجيش أظهر وحدة وتماسكاً مشهودين خلال المواجهات مع المنظمات الفلسطينية علم ١٩٦٩ (الصليبي، ١٩٧٦: ٥٣). (…) -

#opIsrael – Anonymous stands by Palestine in this time of war and grief
17 November 2012Greetings World
For far too long, Anonymous has stood by with the rest of the world and watched in despair the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called “Occupied Territories” by the Israel Defense Force. Like so many around the globe, we have felt helpless in the face of such implacable evil. And today’s insane attack and threatened invasion of Gaza was more of the same.
But when the government of Israel publicly threatened to sever all (…) -
Victorious, but vilified: Israel has ’destroyed its image and its soul’
18 January 2009, by Donald Macintyre, Kim SenguptaAfter three weeks of carnage in Gaza, there were tentative signs of a ceasefire last night. But the bitter legacy of the past 22 days for Israel is that, while it declares victory on the battlefield, the country’s reputation has rarely sunk so low.
Yesterday the United Nations called for a war crimes investigation after two children, aged five and seven, were killed when, it claimed, an Israeli tank shell hit a school sheltering some of the more than 40,000 internally displaced refugees. (…) -

Manifest Destiny and Israel
16 April 2008, by Uri AvneryNEXT MONTH, Israel will celebrate its 60th anniversary. The government is working feverishly to make this day into an occasion of joy and jubilation. While serious problems are crying out for funds, some 40 million dollars have been allocated to this aim.
Bur the nation is in no mood for celebrations. It is gloomy. From all directions the government is blamed for this gloom. "They have no agenda" is the refrain, "Their only concern is their own survival." (The word "agenda", with its (…) -
My message to the West – Israel must stop the slaughter
18 January 2009, by Ismail HaniyehI write this article to Western readers across the social and political spectrum as the Israeli war machine continues to massacre my people in Gaza. To date, almost 1,000 have been killed, nearly half of whom are women and children. Last week’s bombing of the UNRWA (UN Relief Works Agency) school in the Jabalya refugee camp was one of the most despicable crimes imaginable, as hundreds of civilians had abandoned their homes and sought refuge with the international agency only to be (…)
