SYRIAN WAR REPORT–JUNE 26, 2018: SYRIAN ARMY LIBERATED LAJAT DISTRICT IN DARAA PROVINCE The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the Tiger Forces and their allies have reportedly established full control of the district of Lajat in the province of Daraa. If all these reports are confirmed, government forces have liberated about 400km2 since the start of clashes in northeastern Daraa last week. An alleged pro-government partisan group, the Popular Resistance in Manbij, has announced the start of preparations for an uprising against foreign occupiers – i.e. forces of the US, France and Turkey – aiming to divide Syria. In April, a similar group, entitled “the Popular Resistance in al-Hasakah”, appeared in eastern Syria. This group also threatened the US-led coalition and its proxies with attacks. In any case, appearance of such groups show that far from everyone in northeastern Syria like the US-led coalition.
