"According to sources inside Yarmouk, there were also deadly clashes between members of the terrorist Free Syrian Army and the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front inside the camp. Armed men affiliated to the al-Nusra Front have reportedly killed a number of Palestinian civilians there."
Thierry Meyssan says "reality on the ground has turned around completely." Free Syrian Army (FSA) elements are being routed.
"The truth is that on the ground the upper hand is held by the Syrian government. The military situation has been reversed."
French reports stopped mentioning "liberated zones." They're steadily shrinking. Disreputable Salafists and other Islamofacists hold fewer areas.
FSA fighters have no popular support. Extremist elements are hated. Meyssan believes strategically "the war is already over." The fullness of time will have final say.
Meanwhile fighting rages. Dozens or hundreds die daily. On December 31, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) headlined "General Command of the Army: The Armed Forces Continue Operations Against the Terrorist Groups," saying:
Terrorist forces are being effectively confronted.
"In Aleppo, armed terrorist groups of Jabhet al-Nusra and NATO mercenaries tried to attack an air-defense battalion in Tal Hasel in al-Sfeira using rockets, mortars and machineguns.""Our Armed Forces confronted them and foiled the attempt, killing and wounding large numbers of terrorists and destroying their weapons."
Aleppo International Airport areas are being cleared. Large numbers of terrorist elements were killed or wounded. Their weapons and ammunition were seized.
