The interim Damascus of government halted the prisoner exchange on the orders of the Turkish state!

Families of the prisoners blocked the M-4 international highway in Til Temir and demanded the immediate release of the prisoners.

After two nights of bloody events in Idlib and some surrounding towns, residents took to the streets in demonstrations protesting the security and living conditions under the de facto authority represented by al-Julani.

The demonstrators demanded the downfall of al-Julani and his government, and directed sharp criticism at his supporters, considering them the new face of the Shabiha (pro-regime militias).

The Commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces, General Mazloum Abdi, and Mrs. Ilham Ahmed, the co-chair of the Department of Foreign Relations, met with an expanded delegation from the Sere Kaniye/Ras al-Ayn/Rash Aino Displaced Persons Committee, to discuss the latest developments related to the file of the displaced and ways of return in accordance with the January 29 agreement.

The campaign launched for the YPJ is spreading globally.

The YPJ women's army, which spearheaded the war in which all states fought together to eliminate ISIS, the most brutal terrorist organization the world's peoples have faced, is now being ignored. Therefore, the "We are all YPJ" campaign is spreading and continuing.

It's our turn now to support the YPJ women's army, which sacrificed thousands of young women so that we could live.

Speaking of the marginalisation of Kurds Syria.

This morning in Raqqah, Syrian Government Forces raided and detained 10 Kurds of the Sheikhan tribe.
Their agricultural lands were seized by the Syrian Government.

Just today, 10 Kurdish families(!) had to leave Raqqah city and fled as IDPs towards Qamishlo.
Over the past week several cases of forceful displacements of Kurdish families from Raqqah have become known.
This follows an arrest campaign by the Syrian Government across Raqqah city and province; Kurds are being collectively accused of being *separatists* and subsequently arrested.

U.S. CENTCOM:

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.

Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.

CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

Fox News:

The United States carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Port and Bandar Abbas but a senior U.S. official says this is NOT a restart of the war.

Several explosions have been heard in Sirik County, southern Iran, according to Mehr News Agency.

"The exact nature of these explosions is not yet clear, but it seems the sounds are related to clashes in the waters of Sirik County," a Mehr reporter said.

Israel and America are attacking Iran, and Iran is once again targeting the Kurds!

Iranian drones attack in the Kurdistan Region targeted a base belonging to the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK).
