Yah, most of Deir Ez Zor also.

SDF made major advances in Aleppo and Raqqa between 11/28-12/8, almost all of southern Raqqa Countryside and SAA held area between Safira and Khafsah was under Temporary SDF control, it was crazy how frontlines changed per hour during the 11 day deterrence of aggression offensive

from what i can tell with mid range satellite imagery these are the current front lines (you can actually make out the pre-Dec one based on ground color)

last SDF checkpoint on Salamiyah road seems to be here 35.532576, 38.336934 (pic 2). and Resafa is within berms dugs this spring

If I remember correctly, SDF kept control over Resafa and expanded into the oilfields south of Tabqa Airbase in December 2024

For more on these facilities and those in use at the beginning of the year see here:

X is very important platform, as usual Elon screws up

Multiple sources, writing about multiple attacks, say these drones were launched from trucks near the air bases. This may be bullshit, although the footage shows the attack being carried out by quadcopters, which do have very short range, not long-range UAVs.

Ukrainian media reporting that *95* strategic bombers, and 20 other military aircraft, are being targeted. Some sources say 40 planes are confirmed destroyed.

This could be the largest strike on Russian forces since the beginning of the war.
