Turkey Is Working To Turn Hayat Tahrir al-Sham Into Political Group ‘Like Hezbollah In Lebanon’

Turkey is working to transform Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the former branch of al-Qaeda in Syria, into a political party, a source in the Syrian opposition’s High Negotiations Committee (HNC) revealed on February 8.

“Turkey is trying to handle the Nusra matter in Syria’s north, and they [the Turks] want to make this group a political group, like Hezbollah in Lebanon,” the source told the Russian news agency, Sputnik.

As a part of Turkey’s alleged plan, HTS will be integrated into the National Syrian Army (NSA). The terrorist group is already discussing the integration process with the Turkish-backed National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary.

“Under the Turkish plan, Nusra will be involved in the national army in the north, which Turkey is trying to build now … There are meetings between the Coalition and Nusra Front to agree upon arrangements for the merger and formation of a new army in the Syrian north” the source said.

The NSA is deployed in the Turkish-occupied areas in the northern Aleppo countryside.

Syrian Democratic Forces Arrest 63 “Terrorists” In Raqqa

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) arrested 63 “terrorists” during a large-scale combing operation in the war-torn city of Raqqa on February 7.

“These terrorist cells are directly responsible of spreading fear, chaos and rumors among the residents of the city,” the US-backed group said in an official statement released by its press center.

The group’s statement didn’t mention ISIS or accuse these supposed terrorists of any real crimes. Therefore, many activists concluded that the operation targeted supporters of the Damascus government or the Turkish-backed opposition.

Israeli spacecraft aims for historic moon landing by 2019

July 10, 2018

It’ll be one giant leap for Israel.

A nonprofit group in the Jewish state plans to land an unmanned spacecraft on the moon on Feb. 13, 2019, joining just three countries to have made soft landings on the lunar surface – the US, Russia and China, according to reports.

“We will put the Israeli flag on the moon,” vowed Ido Anteby, CEO of SpaceIL, which plans to launch the Israeli-built module in December from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the Times of Israel reported.

“As soon as the spacecraft reaches the landing point it will be completely autonomous,” Anteby told reporters Tuesday at an Israel Aerospace Industries space technology site in Yehud.

“The motor will brake the craft and it will reach the ground at zero speed for a soft landing,” he said. “During the landing the craft will photograph the landing area with stills and video and even record itself.”

The 1,300-pound, spider-like craft will measure only about 6.5 feet in diameters and about 5 feet tall — making it the smallest spacecraft to touch down on the moon, according to the news outlet.

SpaceIL President Morris Kahn, an South African-born billionaire and philanthropist who donated about $27 million to the project told a news conference: “We are making history.”

The project took off in 2011 as part of a Google Lunar XPrize competition, which offered $20 million to land a probe on the moon.

The goal, Kahn said, is to inspire Israeli youth to pursue science studies and to have the impact the Apollo lunar mission had in 1969, when US astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon.

“This is a tremendous project,” he said. “When the rocket is launched into space, we will all remember where we were when Israel landed on the moon.”

The Israeli government has promised to fund 10 percent of the $95 million project, he said, but the money has not yet been provided.

“The government should recognize that space is very important for the future,” he said.

Three Israeli scientists — Yariv Bash, Kfir Damari and Yonatan Winetraub – embarked on the ambitious project.

“We met in a pub and started to discuss what it meant,” Damari recalled, according to AFP.

The three young engineers formed SpaceIL and partnered with state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, envisioning a tiny craft they believed could land on the moon by 2013.
