So how much of the SDF are actually non-Kurdish fighters?

Some sources say the majority others close to 50%. Others below that number.

It's hard to give an precise number, I think. Assyrians have also joined the SDF. Anyway given the territory that SDF is in control of in Northeastern Syria and parts of Eastern Syria, it is without doubt that a large percentage of their fighters are local Arabs otherwise they would not have been able to capture those villages and towns.

Not following the Syrian conflict as closely as I used to (focus on Iraq and Yemen) but I don't think that SDF and YPG have much in common let alone in terms of ideology. They have common enemies in Syria though (ISIS mainly but not only).

What is certain here and the most important thing, is that Kurds can only dream about controlling majority-Arab regions (when the dust settles) or stealing Arab/Syrian territory bordering the Mediterranean Sea as some of their biggest fantasts dream about.

Syrian army secures full control of key highway linking Deir ez-Zor and Palmyra
Lapin also said that Syrian troops are continuing the operation to free Deir ez-Zor from Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

“Currently the operation to free the city is ongoing. The Syrian military will soon finish off the IS forces that used to occupy the city’s neighborhoods,” the Lieutenant General said in a briefing.

The blockade of Deir ez-Zor was broken on September 5 by Syrian forces, after three years of IS control of the city.

“The command posts and communication networks of the terrorists were destroyed by Kalibr cruise missiles, launched from the Black Sea escort vessel ‘Admiral Essen’. This disrupted control of IS units in the area.”

“Over 450 terrorists, 5 tanks and 42 pickups with heavy machine guns were liquidated during the operation,” the Lieutenant General added.

Russia has been providing assistance for the Syrian forces fighting IS since 2015, and with the Russian military’s help, the Syrian army has freed Hama, Homs, Latakia, Palmyra and Aleppo.

In March 2016, Russian President Putin ordered a partial withdrawal of Russian forces because they had reached all of the goals that had been set for them in the country.

Nevertheless, a small group of Russian military planes remains stationed in Khmeimim and continues to strike terrorist positions. Russia has also deployed special forces and anti-aircraft systems in the area to protect the base from attack.

Russian aerospace forces destroy 180 ISIL sites in Hama’s Uqayribat

MOSCOW, Sep. 13 – Russian Defense Ministry announced the destruction of 180 sites for ISIL terrorist organization in the area surrounding Uqayribat town in the eastern countryside of Hama and cut off all its supply routes in the area.
“Only yesterday, in the interests of the Syrian army’s offensive in the area of Uqayribat , Russian Aerospace Forces jets made over 50 sorties, resulting in the destruction of about 180 facilities of militants… Fortifications, underground shelters, command posts, separate detachments of terrorists, artillery positions, ammunition and fuel depots,” Lt. Gen. Alexander Lapin, chief of staff of the Russian Armed Forces group in Syria told reporters.

Lapin said that the Syrian Army continues the operation to clear the area from gangs of ISIL in the areas to the west and north of Uqayribat.

He said persistent battles during the last week resulted in the liberation of eight more towns, which made it possible to “dismember” a group of militants near Uqayribat and defeat it in parts.

In a relevant context, six breaches of the cessation of hostilities agreement were recorded during the past 24 hours in the provinces of Aleppo, Daraa and Damascus via terrorist organizations, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

The Russian Navy on Thursday fired seven cruise missiles at Islamic state targets in the suburbs of Syria’s Deir al-Zor, the Russian Defence Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

It said the missiles were fired from two submarines in the eastern Mediterranean from a distance of 500-670 km.

“The targets were command posts, communication centres, as well as militants' weapons and ammunition stockpiles in areas of south-east Deir al-Zor under the control of Islamic State,” the ministry said.

In another crushing blow to beleaguered Daesh terrorists whose days already look numbered, the Syrian Army has entered Deir ez-Zor breaking through the main entrance to the strategic city, parts of which is still besieged by jihadists.

The success came after days of fierce battles to break the terrorists’ resistance on the main access road leading to the eastern city in the biggest breakthrough against the terror group since it first launched an offensive on the province in 2014.

To the west of Deir ez-Zor, government troops and their allies have liberated the al-Tym and al-Shula oilfields breaking the terrorists’ blockade.

In the east, elite Army units have taken control of the Deir ez-Zor airbase.

Sputnik captured the moment when elite units of the Syrian Army, moving across the airfield, were greeted by their brothers-in-arms of the 137th Mechanized Infantry Brigade.

It won’t be long before humanitarian aid convoys start bringing desperately needed food and medicines for the residents exhausted by the three-year siege.

The government forces now aim to retake the remaining parts of Deir ez-Zor, which is one of the last Daesh strongholds in Syria.

Probably after eradicating all Takfrir terrorists esp in Iraq and Syria and through establishment of peace and security in the region all people could have their own job, even Afghan people who their country was torn apart due to war btw the Soviet Union and Mujahedin (created, bankrolled, armed and supported by Americans, Saudis and IS Pakistan). funny part is AQ, ISI, ISIS, Al-Nusra are fruits of the Mujahedin in Afghanistan and Saudi Madaress in Pakistan.

Definition of hypocrite. 1 :a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion. 2 :a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.AKA @BATMAN


Lets analyze @BATMAN statement here shall we; If you are defending yourself from Wahhabi terrorist, or condemning Wahhabi terrorist, you are a hypocrite and shameless, but if you defend and sympathize with trash of the world "Wahhabi terrorist" and pick up weapons to please House OF DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!! You are an angel and going straight to heaven!!!!!!! Am I right so far @BATMAN

@BATMAN also the same person who said; If shia didn't come out of their homes they won't be killed, In other words Wahhabi terrorist blowing himself up is actually the victim here, so, obviously shia fighting back and killing the terrorist is bothering @BATMAN and others terrorist sympathizers like him.............
