Isis intensified its attacks on the Syrian military airport Tabqa at Raqqa this week. Hundreds of terrorists were killed around the airport and in an ambush close to the airport, their tanks and further equipment they captured in Iraq was seized or destroyed by the heros of Syria. In the battle, Isis suffered the strongest and most accurate airstrikes so far, the SAA said. The SAA targets the area surrounding the airport and recaptured the town Ejeil, which gives strategic advantages to the Army. The airport is heavily fortified, hundreds of soldiers are supplied by the airforce. They are equipped with any kind of weaponry, including tanks and artillery.

The Army announced that the airport will never be lost and the location from which the Army will start the liberation of Raqqa and the whole province.

According to medias, Syrian TV has reported about the evacuation of the facility but there is still nothing about it in the Internet. A takeover by the terrorists would mean a significant disadvantage for the Syrian army in the region. The SAA would have no bases in the IS controlled area anymore.

"Islamic State (IS) militants advanced for the first time on Sunday into a military airport that is the last stronghold of the Syrian army in Raqqa province, a monitoring group said.

"The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said fighters from the group had launched a fourth attack in six days on Tabqa military airport overnight and entered the facility on Sunday morning."

Feels like Obama is hoping they take out Assad for him.
There is not one doubt in my mind that Obama and other western leaders were praying that these bastards could go for a two for one and get Assad and Maliki.

Certainly would explain their sudden and succesful rise to power. Neocons win another one. I hope the liberals can stomach it.

Then what?
IS in the Golan Heights?

Never---Israel wouldn't allow it.
Would Israel invade Syria to prevent it?

I'm not even sure if there is such a thing as a national border anymore. I would guess Israel has it's own line in the sand that cannot be crossed.
Israel has always been accused of keeping its borders ambiguous, to say the least, but I don't think it could tolerate a hostile force in the Golan. So far, however, Israel and IS haven't displayed any hostility towards one another. I'm starting to wonder if anyone has a clue where the ME is heading.

Shaping the battlefield keeps coming to my mind. Either that or watching as the battlefield shapes itself.

Yet there are reports the US is supplying Assad's forces with intelligence on where to strike IS's leaders...Anybody got a scorecard?
