BEIRUT, LEBANON – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), alongside Hezbollah and the National Defense Forces (NDF), made a big push into the rebel-held parts of east Damascus, Friday, targeting the Dakwah area near the Tishreen Power Plant.

According to Al-Masdar’s Damascus correspondent, Ibrahim Joudeh, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies advanced in the Dakwah area after launching a powerful assault against the Free Syrian Army (FSA) units in this desert region located east of the Syrian capital city.

On Saturday, Iraqi military commander Shakir Abid said a unit of Norwegian special forces had been allowed to enter Syria through the Al-Waleed border crossing in western Anbar.

Iran flees chemical weapons in Yemen.
Chemical weapons that according to international conventions are not allowed to be smuggled from Iran to the Yemenis and to the militias of ousted President Ali Salih, military sources say.

Iran hid these weapons in oxygen containers and sent them to the cages as part of medical equipment sent to them as "humanitarian" assistance.

The sources estimate that this chemical weapon was intended for use against civilians in areas controlled by the international coalition forces and the Saudi leadership.

Interesting footage there from an Iraqi Havoc.

Didn't know that they had Mi-28 Havocs, but it's telling that the Iraqi's have Russian helicopters and didn't choose American AH-64 or AH-1 helicopters or any Western counterparts.
