We start with the top [00:00:42] headlines. [00:00:46] Raqqa-Deir ez-Zor road cut off due to bridge collapse [00:00:49] in Maadan city with renewed floods and warnings [00:00:53] of new [00:00:54] rains. [00:01:00] the residents and alleviate pressure on General Intelligence thwarts a plot to target Homs [00:01:02] oil refinery. [00:01:04] Internal [00:01:07] Security announces the arrest of a terrorist cell affiliated [00:01:11] with ISIS involved in carrying out [00:01:14] assassinations in Deir [00:01:15] ez-Zor.

[00:01:57] Details: Raqqa media directorate announced the closure of [00:02:01] the Raqqa-Deir ez-Zor main road at the Khunaifis bridge east of [00:02:04] Raqqa. The directorate added in its statement that this [00:02:07] closure came after torrential floods. [00:02:13] Intelligence Service. time. If this The Raqqa-Deir ez-Zor road was cut off a few days ago due to [00:02:16] floods. [00:02:23] Civil Defense teams announced that they are continuing [00:02:25] which was the targeting of search operations for two missing persons who were swept away by [00:02:30] the floods from the Al-Salmani bridge area in Raqqa governorate. [00:02:33] Civil Defense added [00:02:36] Before that, as you mentioned that the search is underway in the flood plain [00:02:39] used today in and the Euphrates Lake in cooperation with the army as part of [00:02:42] continuous efforts to reach the [00:02:44] missing persons. [00:02:51] The Raqqa governorate warned of an unstable atmospheric condition [00:02:54] that is expected to affect the governorate [00:02:57] and continue until Monday [00:03:00] amid fears of heavy thundery rain [00:03:03] and hail [00:03:06] and active dust-stirring winds. [00:03:09] The governorate added in a statement it published, based on [00:03:12] a warning from the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, that [00:03:16] the expected weather condition may be accompanied by thunderstorms [00:03:19] and strong winds, calling on [00:03:24] of a number of European banks [00:03:24] shelling to imposing restrictions on citizens to exercise caution and avoid [00:03:28] chain in Syria, and also. wadi courses and low-lying areas and to cross water [00:03:31] accumulations. [00:03:36] banking system, develop some Syrian stations still run on [00:03:37] banking relations, and enhance The Directorate of Passenger Transport in Deir ez-Zor announced the suspension of all [00:03:41] night trips from Deir ez-Zor to the governorates to ensure [00:03:46] Therefore, the safety of passengers. The Directorate clarified that [00:03:48] the decision to suspend came due to the damage and hazards on [00:03:52] the roads and their danger as a result [00:03:55] of their being affected by floods and torrents, pointing [00:03:58] to the continued suspension of trips until the causes of [00:04:02] hiatus, with the aim of providing the danger are removed. [00:04:09] their aggressions against Civil Defense teams carried out repair work [00:04:12] for the damage from the recent floods in Deir ez-Zor governorate. [00:04:15] According to Civil [00:04:17] banking supervision, Defense, the work included filling potholes and reinforcing [00:04:20] the edges of damaged roads in the Al-Tabani area and reinforcing [00:04:25] of megawatts of the Al-Tarif bridges to enhance traffic safety and ensure continued [00:04:29] movement. The teams also removed an [00:04:32] earthen barrier in the Al-Masrab area and filled [00:04:35] a hole in front of a school in the Sheiha area [00:04:40] 40 days, while the field to ensure the safety [00:04:40] of students. [00:04:47] Cracks and fissures in the body of [00:04:50] Wadi Al-Baqar Dam in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor raised fears [00:04:54] among residents of its potential collapse or overflow. [00:04:57] The head of Al-Sira [00:05:00] Tahtani Municipality, Hamad Al-Ali, told SANA news agency [00:05:04] that the area includes two dams, Wadi Al-Baqar and Wadi Al-Rum, [00:05:07] which are two gatherings that were built more [00:05:10] than 35 [00:05:15] years ago for maintenance work, noting that [00:05:17] the governorate has been contacted about this matter more than once. [00:05:21] Al-Ali clarified that the required maintenance work includes [00:05:24] repairing the closure valves and assigning employees [00:05:28] to monitor water levels and control [00:05:30] their discharge to relieve pressure on [00:05:33] the dam, in addition to reinforcing its body [00:05:37] with concrete. [00:05:44] The Deir ez-Zor governorate announced the start of rehabilitation work for the earthen bridge [00:05:48] after the stabilization of the Euphrates River water level, with the aim of [00:05:51] enhancing its capacity and developing the system [00:05:54] of water openings. According to [00:05:58] the governorate, these modifications contribute to raising [00:06:01] the structural efficiency of the bridge and enhancing its ability to withstand [00:06:05] successive rises in the river water level. The governorate [00:06:09] indicated that the project aims to serve [00:06:12] the military bridge and ensure the movement [00:06:15] of heavy vehicles operating on the Deir ez-Zor bridge until [00:06:19] its construction is completed in May of next [00:06:23] year. [00:06:29] The United Arab Emirates expressed its [00:06:32] solidarity with Syria over the victims of the floods caused by heavy [00:06:36] rains in eastern the country. The UAE Ministry [00:06:39] of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that it extends [00:06:42] its deepest condolences and sincere sympathies to the families of [00:06:46] the victims and to the Syrian Arab Republic [00:06:50] painful affliction, wishing a speedy recovery [00:06:53] to all the injured and that [00:06:57] search and rescue efforts [00:07:16] Syria TV correspondent reported that sounds of explosions were heard [00:07:20] in several areas of Daraa [00:07:22] and Sweida governorates. The correspondent said that the sounds were heard concurrently [00:07:26] with the flight of an unknown warplane over southern Syria. [00:07:59] Syria TV correspondent reported the incursion of an Israeli occupation patrol [00:08:02] consisting of seven military vehicles [00:08:06] on the road to Al-Sandaniyeh Al-Gharbiyah village in the Quneitra countryside. [00:08:09] Our correspondent mentioned that the residents tore down [00:08:12] what the Israeli occupation had placed in the Quneitra countryside, warning [00:08:16] the residents of Al-Sandaniyeh Al-Gharbiyah, Rusum Al-Rawadi, and the destroyed Quneitra [00:08:19] from moving in a convoy of more [00:08:23] than three [00:08:24] vehicles. [00:08:27] In a new step imposed by the Israeli occupation forces in southern [00:08:31] Syria, they are moving from incursions, violations, and indiscriminate [00:08:37] movement and travel amid threats to target any [00:08:40] convoy of more than three vehicles [00:08:44] on the outskirts of the villages and towns of Al-Samadanieh Al-Gharbiyah, Rusum Al-Rawadi, [00:08:48] and the demolished Quneitra in the central countryside of the governorate. The occupation [00:08:51] forces posted road signs warning civilians [00:08:54] against moving in convoys of more than three [00:08:58] vehicles, threatening to target them and endanger their [00:09:01] lives. The placement of the warning [00:09:05] signs coincided with excavation and bulldozing operations carried out by the occupation [00:09:09] forces in the Al-Maakar area near the Gate of Tel. [00:09:12] Abu Al-Gheithar in the southern Quneitra countryside. [00:09:14] These [00:09:17] steps come at a time when the Israeli occupation forces continue [00:09:22] Syrian territories, including incursions, indiscriminate shelling, [00:09:25] and killing of civilians. Syria TV correspondent documented [00:09:29] 327 [00:09:31] violations by the Israeli occupation forces during last [00:09:35] October in the countryside of Quneitra, Daraa, [00:09:38] and Damascus, where he pointed to the diversity of violations, including [00:09:41] incursions, detention of Syrian citizens, shelling, killing, [00:09:45] and Israeli aircraft flying in Syrian [00:09:49] airspace. The escalation of the occupation's [00:09:52] actions in southern Syria and the continuous tightening of restrictions [00:09:55] on the movement of Syrian civilians raise questions [00:09:59] about the essence of what it seeks and about the steps it wants [00:10:03] to achieve in the coming [00:10:05] days. [00:10:09] The Anti-Narcotics Department announced the execution of [00:10:12] 157 operations during October, [00:10:15] which resulted in dismantling 30 internal [00:10:19] smuggling networks and seizing various [00:10:22] quantities of narcotic substances. [00:10:25] The seized items included about 4,300 [00:10:29] thousand Captagon pills, 582 [00:10:32] kilograms of hashish, [00:10:35] crystal meth, also known as ice, in addition to [00:10:39] 28 narcotic [00:10:43] drugs. [00:10:49] The General Intelligence Service foiled a plot to target [00:10:52] Homs refinery in central the country, according to SANA [00:10:55] news agency. The announcement of foiling the plot [00:10:59] comes about two weeks after the oil derivatives transfer line [00:11:02] extending from Baniyas to Homs [00:11:05] was subjected to a sabotage act for the purpose of theft. [00:11:09] The country recorded about 22 attacks [00:11:12] on oil pipelines since the beginning of [00:11:15] this year. The Homs refinery plays a role in securing [00:11:19] oil derivatives, as it refines [00:11:22] heavy crude oil at an average of about [00:11:26] 50,000 barrels per day, despite [00:11:29] its dilapidated and old technical condition, according to previous statements by the Minister of Energy. [00:11:55] I welcome my guest, Diaa Qaddoura, security expert, with me from Damascus. [00:11:58] Welcome, Mr. Diaa. [00:12:02] So far, the details of the plot or the party behind it have not [00:12:05] been revealed. Today, what can the nature [00:12:09] of the target reveal about the identity of the potential parties [00:12:11] and their goals? [00:12:14] Good morning, Mr. Jamal, to you and all Syria TV viewers. [00:12:18] This is a very important question, frankly, [00:12:21] and let's speculate for a moment who the potentially involved party is [00:12:25] that could be behind these attacks. Today, there was [00:12:28] a failed plot to target [00:12:32] the Homs refinery. Let's remember that the Homs refinery is the only refinery [00:12:36] that is still operating in Syria after the announcement [00:12:40] of maintenance or repairs [00:12:44] in the Baniyas refinery. Therefore, if this [00:12:47] operation had succeeded, it would certainly [00:12:51] have dealt a painful blow to the Syrian economy and the flow [00:12:55] and even the energy production in Syria [00:12:58] generally. [00:13:01] in the report, there were attempts during the past month [00:13:05] to also target the Baniyas line. The Ministry of [00:13:08] Energy today admits, through SANA, that more [00:13:12] than 22 attacks have been carried out, [00:13:14] some of which targeted five main stations, [00:13:18] the most important of which was the Tishreen station and the Jbisseh [00:13:21] gas line. The targets were not, [00:13:24] to be clear, random or even [00:13:28] unprotected in some cases. At the Tishreen station, the targeting was [00:13:32] inside the Tishreen station, in a station in [00:13:35] an area that is responsible [00:13:38] for reducing pressure and transporting gas to other stations, [00:13:42] which led to the disruption of other stations such as Deir Ali station and [00:13:46] Al-Nasiriyah station, and at some times also on the Jbisseh [00:13:50] gas line, the critical sections that are responsible for [00:13:53] shutting off the gas in case of any [00:13:56] malfunction on the gas line were targeted, and thus targeting these sensitive [00:14:00] points leads to prolonging the repair [00:14:03] and maintenance time, and at the same time increasing [00:14:06] economic losses and costs. [00:14:11] at first glance, if we look at these targets, we find that these [00:14:14] targets are not isolated or random. They are [00:14:18] part of a systematic plan and campaign, [00:14:21] and it seems that they are planned to strike or deal [00:14:25] economic blows to the Syrian state. This is [00:14:29] certainly the case. There were some attacks that [00:14:33] aimed at theft or were related to other things, [00:14:36] but we are talking about the main carefully planned attacks, five main [00:14:39] attacks on power stations, some of which forced the Syrian [00:14:43] state to use fuel, some of which deprived [00:14:46] Daraa governorate and the southern region of tens [00:14:50] power. The main suspected party [00:14:54] in this is ISIS, this terrorist organization today. [00:14:57] ISIS has a record of targeting power [00:15:01] stations even before the fall of the regime, and it is also clear that [00:15:05] ISIS is waging an economic war against Syria and wants [00:15:08] ISIS to wage what I call a war [00:15:12] of darkness against the Syrian state and wants the Syrian state to kneel [00:15:15] by striking economic vital points. Yes, [00:15:19] I mean, don't expand on this particular point, Mr. Diaa. I would [00:15:23] like to ask you today, can we link [00:15:26] security-wise between the plot to target [00:15:29] the refinery and the repeated attacks on oil pipelines, [00:15:33] or does each incident have a different context? [00:15:37] No, no, not at all. They are related [00:15:41] to each other, and they even come within one period, during last [00:15:44] summer and extending to this day. [00:15:48] And they are cross- [00:15:50] governorate targeting, as is the case with ISIS. If you review [00:15:54] all the seizures and all the announcements of the arrest of elements belonging [00:15:58] to ISIS, they are in all governorates. [00:16:01] Even today, the arrest of a cell that was [00:16:05] involved in the assassination of a member of the Ministry of Defense in [00:16:08] Deir ez-Zor governorate was announced. The main targets included areas such as [00:16:11] Raqqa, Homs, Deir ez-Zor, and Hasakah. All [00:16:15] areas were targeted at a specific time [00:16:18] and in a systematic manner, [00:16:21] as I told you. The main involved [00:16:25] party is ISIS, which is trying, without firing [00:16:28] a single shot, to deal a painful economic blow to the Syrian [00:16:32] state. It knows that today the internal situation within [00:16:35] Syria is sensitive to the extent that if it can deal an economic [00:16:39] blow, that will lead to destabilizing the Syrian state in general. Therefore, it [00:16:43] resorts to such targeting. It cannot be denied that there are other [00:16:46] parties involved. Theoretically, Iran has an interest in [00:16:50] targeting energy pipelines because they almost [00:16:53] temporarily destroy all hopes [00:16:57] that were built to make Syria a regional [00:17:00] link station instead of the Strait of Hormuz or, in other words, [00:17:04] a regional link node through which Iran can use [00:17:08] its cells or communicate with the remnants of the regime [00:17:11] to carry out these attacks. However, as I told [00:17:14] you, the attacks are distributed and in different governorates, [00:17:18] and there are other parties that may [00:17:22] be involved in the incident. There are also cases attributed to [00:17:25] theft. We have seen sometimes seizures [00:17:29] or arrests of some people who were trying to steal oil [00:17:32] and energy pipelines. Today, this announcement by the intelligence [00:17:36] service, by SANA, confirms, despite its importance [00:17:39] and the growing security and proactive capabilities of the Syrian [00:17:43] state, but also at the same time shows [00:17:46] the importance and danger of the situation at the same [00:17:49] targeting of the Homs refinery, which is the only refinery [00:17:53] remaining in Syria, had succeeded, it could have dealt a painful economic [00:17:56] blow to the Syrian economy. What are the repercussions that could, Mr. Diaa, [00:18:00] result from the success of targeting [00:18:04] the Homs refinery, considering its role in [00:18:07] securing oil derivatives? The repercussions are [00:18:11] truly great. Most of the oil derivatives [00:18:17] Syria, a large part of them, not most, [00:18:20] are refined by the Baniyas refinery. [00:18:23] We have only one refinery operating [00:18:27] in the country. Therefore, if this refinery were systematically [00:18:30] sabotaged at a sensitive point, as happened, for example, at the Tishreen [00:18:34] station, and incidentally, the Tishreen [00:18:37] station. Initially, it was announced as an attack, but today SANA, [00:18:41] in its statements quoted from the Ministry of Energy, admits that it was [00:18:45] a terrorist sabotage attack and included it in the list of [00:18:48] 22 targets, and it is among the five main [00:18:52] areas that were targeted at the power station. Therefore, it could have [00:18:55] dealt a major blow. We have seen [00:18:59] unsequential outages, and [00:19:03] sometimes in the fuel supply [00:19:05] This could also affect the [00:19:09] energy production process, because today [00:19:13] fuel, some of which are refined by the Homs refinery, pending [00:19:16] the completion of repairs at the Baniyas [00:19:20] refinery. Therefore, whoever wanted to target this area or [00:19:24] this sensitive and vital point in Syria wanted to deal a very [00:19:28] painful economic blow to the Syrian state. [00:19:31] Certainly, the losses would have been catastrophic, and also [00:19:35] the popular and internal repercussions. In light [00:19:37] of the internal situation and rising [00:19:40] prices and the current economic downturn [00:19:43] in Syria, and also the continuing crisis [00:19:47] of the Strait of Hormuz and the rising energy supply chains, etc., this [00:19:50] could have led to a major crisis in Syria. [00:19:54] But today, the security alert was [00:19:57] important and prevented such a targeting from happening, [00:20:00] but it also highlights, as I told you, the seriousness [00:20:04] of the situation. We have seen serious [00:20:08] targeting of the same type and pattern occurring at the Tishreen [00:20:11] station, at the Jbisseh gas line, some of which, [00:20:14] according to the Ministry of Energy, led to economic losses and even deprived Daraa [00:20:18] governorate of 80 megawatts. Therefore, today, [00:20:21] I believe that in the executive measures of the Syrian [00:20:24] state, technological tools should be introduced [00:20:28] to monitor and follow up on these threats. We saw, for example, [00:20:32] before expanding on this point, I will address it, Mr. Diaa, but [00:20:35] today, with the recording of about [00:20:37] 22 attacks on oil pipelines since the beginning of the [00:20:41] year, where does the main problem [00:20:45] lie in protecting these facilities? [00:20:48] There is no problem. We are talking [00:20:51] about a complex reality and limited [00:20:55] capabilities of the new Syrian state. The Ministry of Interior [00:20:58] and the intelligence service cannot [00:21:02] protect, in light of disproportionate security threats [00:21:05] and in light of its current capabilities, [00:21:08] this large number of thousands of kilometers [00:21:13] kilometers of energy pipelines, while there are still some [00:21:17] terrorist organizations that seek [00:21:21] state. Today, this improvement [00:21:26] security operations must come [00:21:28] gradually through developing the security capabilities of the Syrian [00:21:31] administration. Today, 22 targets are not all related [00:21:35] to ISIS, as I told you. Some of them were related [00:21:38] to ISIS. Some of them were perhaps related to cases of theft, and perhaps some of them [00:21:41] were related to cases of corruption. Therefore, ISIS is [00:21:45] not the main and most involved party [00:21:49] in this field. However, [00:21:52] the issue requires close follow-up and more security [00:21:56] intensification, and as I told you, using technological [00:22:00] tools. It is not possible to protect all these facilities, [00:22:03] all these thousands of kilometers of pipelines in open [00:22:07] areas by deploying a soldier or a security officer [00:22:10] every meter or every kilometer. There must [00:22:14] be a strategic plan for the Syrian [00:22:17] state to monitor these threats and use [00:22:21] advanced technological tools. Today, [00:22:24] there are many companies that provide [00:22:28] services in the field of protecting [00:22:31] in the field of protecting energy fields, some of which [00:22:34] provide early warnings for any [00:22:38] potential attack that the Syrian state can use [00:22:41] to intercept this signal. Thank [00:22:44] you very much, Diaa Qaddoura, security expert. You were [00:22:48] with me from Damascus. [00:22:52] The Internal Security Forces announced [00:22:54] the arrest of a terrorist cell affiliated [00:22:58] with ISIS in cooperation with the General [00:23:03] The Internal Security stated in a statement that the [00:23:07] cell was involved in carrying out a series of assassinations [00:23:11] in Deir ez-Zor governorate, the last of [00:23:15] a member of the Ministry of Defense, Ibrahim Al-Jassem, [00:23:20] with a gunshot near Al-Rashid Mosque in [00:23:23] Al-Mayadeen city. According to the statement, [00:23:26] the operation resulted in the seizure of weapons and ammunition [00:23:30] found inside the cell's hideout. [00:23:34] The Minister of Defense, Morhaf Abu Kasra, [00:23:37] and the Minister of State for Defense Affairs of Qatar, [00:23:41] Sheikh Saud bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, discussed [00:23:45] ways to enhance and develop cooperation between [00:23:48] the two countries, according [00:23:50] to the Qatari Ministry of Defense. The Ministry [00:23:53] added that the meeting took place during Abu Kasra's [00:23:57] visit and his accompanying delegation to Qatar, [00:24:00] in the presence of a number of senior officers [00:24:03] and officials from both sides. [00:24:06] The Governor of the Central Bank, Safwat [00:24:10] Raslan, discussed with representatives [00:24:14] in Paris the reconstruction of international banking [00:24:16] relations. According to the Central Bank, [00:24:20] the discussions in the French capital included ways to reconnect [00:24:22] Syria to the European [00:24:27] cooperation channels.
