00:00:00To our viewers, Ibrahim Al-Khatib,
00:00:00the area near Syria TV correspondent
00:00:03from the vicinity of the
00:00:07explosion in the al-Eis area in the southern Aleppo countryside.
00:00:10Ibrahim, what do you have?
00:00:13Tell us about the scenes you see,
00:00:15Ibrahim.
00:00:17Yes, Hussam, actually, a short while ago, another explosion occurred,
00:00:20missiles, but I want to look at adding to the series of explosions witnessed in the al-Eis area
00:00:23in the southern Aleppo countryside, which effectively shook
00:00:27the area. The echoes of these
00:00:29Tuman area, and also deployed in explosions reached Aleppo city and its in this countryside. We are now at
00:00:32the main entrance to al-Eis city. A short while ago, there was a group of
00:00:36Syrian Civil Defense vehicles and also the Syrian Arab Red Crescent,
00:00:39which entered the place, and it seems that
00:00:42there are injuries at the site of the explosion.
00:00:46In general, this area
00:00:48but they are much weaker than where the ammunition depot that exploded
00:00:52There are many areas of a short while ago is located, it seems that the shells
00:00:54and rockets that exploded and whose echoes were heard throughout
00:00:58Aleppo governorate, some shrapnel reached
00:01:02the homes of civilians located around the plateau. The area where
00:01:05this depot is located is called the plateau, and it is
00:01:09actually have a buffer of a somewhat elevated area in a mountainous area on the outskirts
00:01:13of al-Eis, where we are standing
00:01:16Brother, build warehouses in on its outskirts, and directly we will try
00:01:18to actually monitor some movements here, whether for Syrian
00:01:22Civil Defense vehicles or for
00:01:26of the explosions whose echoes were heard in the, well, here, actually, even
00:01:29the ambulance cars and other
00:01:33cars moving. In fact, there is sensitivity even at the level of
00:01:36entering the area. The military personnel and security forces deployed
00:01:40in the area say
00:01:43that the situation is very dangerous. Therefore, in fact, it is not allowed to approach
00:01:47the place more except for the Syrian Civil Defense, which
00:01:50truly secures the transport operations taking place in the area,
00:01:54village for civilian homes in
00:01:55the movement of cars on and there are fears of additional explosions that
00:01:57could actually occur in the area, especially since we are talking about an ammunition
00:02:01depot where the explosions occurred.
00:02:03How far exactly is it from the explosion site,
00:02:07Ibrahim? Only 8 kilometers. We are
00:02:10here at the main entrance to al-Eis city, towards the plateau area,
00:02:14according to what we were told here, that it is about 8
00:02:17kilometers away, and this area was, a short while ago, the last point that could be reached
00:02:21even by the Syrian Civil Defense
00:02:24reached their homes in and ambulance teams. It was surrounded here by security
00:02:26forces that were warning against approaching
00:02:30the area more, especially since the sounds of explosions were
00:02:34heard, and even the process, perhaps,
00:02:36object that then fell back a short while ago, when the explosion occurred, columns of fire were also
00:02:40rising from the place, and there was actually a process
00:02:43of securing the area for fear of shells
00:02:47that might explode or shrapnel reaching a further place, and therefore this
00:02:50area was considered a somewhat safe point
00:02:54for the presence of ambulance cars and Syrian Civil Defense
00:02:58is still dangerous for and others. A short while ago, about 10 cars
00:03:01it is also dangerous even for entered the place, and you can currently see there is also the sound of an explosion heard.
00:03:04Muhammad, Muhammad, the sound of an explosion and a flame, actually,
00:03:09Aleppo city is cut off from I saw it from the place. This
00:03:11sound and this also
00:03:15flash that also came out of the place indicates
00:03:18that there is
00:03:34The gathering of cars, Ibrahim, ambulance
00:03:36enter to control cars, can they enter, and the Civil Defense,
00:03:38into that area, or could they not enter
00:03:44analysis that this due to the continuous explosions, and perhaps at any moment an explosion
00:03:46could occur? Actually, the ambulance cars and Syrian Civil Defense
00:03:50allowed us, and even the security forces allowed us to enter, but they said
00:03:54that they would gather about one or two
00:03:57kilometers away, and then we would be allowed to gather there.
00:04:01There are scouting teams from infantry
00:04:04affiliated with the ambulance and Civil Defense who are exploring the area
00:04:08in a synchronized manner to facilitate
00:04:11the ability to reach civilian homes
00:04:14and secure them primarily. So far, there is no
00:04:17count of the number of casualties,
00:04:20and there are reports that may reach the Syrian Civil Defense.
00:04:24There is a flash here, Muhammad, on the right side, you can see that even at
00:04:28this moment, there is
00:04:34spread out in the area in Is it an old site or
00:04:36a new site? According to the successive
00:04:40explosions, perhaps a large
00:04:43arms depot as well.
00:04:47I asked a while ago,
00:04:49a new flash came out of one of
00:04:51ambulance cars are gathering. So, this we come out into
00:04:52gathering of the militarily informed people about the nature of the depot, he said that the depots
00:04:55in the area are
00:04:56reinforced concrete that old depots, and it seems that they are also military depots. You see, these
00:05:00are former military depots located in the area
00:05:03and secured within this plateau. This plateau is considered
00:05:07perhaps a point for
00:05:09in storing weapons in
00:05:11that there were injuries in the hill, Al-Eis hill, or the area called the plateau
00:05:12previously.
00:05:16We covered in 2016 and 2015 the battles that were taking place in this area, and this
00:05:20area known as the plateau was somewhat close to Al-Eis hill.
00:05:23If it is possible to bring the scene
00:05:27closer to the viewers, it is a mountainous area in general, the southern Aleppo
00:05:31countryside towards Khanaser, Al-Safira. All of this area had
00:05:34military bases. I don't know, actually, he himself doesn't know if
00:05:38there was a base, a point for, or an old
00:05:41weapons depot. But he said, he suggested that this flash, I also
00:05:45saw it, Hussam, I saw it. Yes, yes, we see
00:05:49this, meaning he doesn't know if there are
00:05:50depots,
00:05:54but he suggested, he suggested that the depot is indeed old
00:05:58and was located previously before the control of
00:06:01the military operations room previously, the military operations administration
00:06:05over this area, as part of the deterrence of aggression operation, and it was an area controlled
00:06:08by regime forces during that past period. Actually, the process of collecting
00:06:12weapons and transporting them, and these matters, perhaps, remained within
00:06:16the framework of
00:06:19perhaps consolidating the positions that were previously present. These are actually
00:06:22conjectures, as I mentioned, and you see that even at
00:06:26this moment, the Syrian Civil Defense teams to the left
00:06:29side, to the left side of the place,
00:06:32it seems that they have not been able to enter. Ibrahim, we would like to inform
00:06:36our viewers of this urgent news. The Ministry of Emergency
00:06:39calls on civilians to stay away from the explosion site in the al-Eis area
00:06:43south of Aleppo and the surrounding areas.
00:06:46So, the Ministry of Emergency calls on civilians
00:06:49to stay away from the explosion site in the al-Eis area
00:06:53south of Aleppo and the surrounding areas.
00:06:56Ibrahim, after cutting off the Aleppo-Damascus road
00:06:59and during
00:07:01trip to the al-Eis area,
00:07:04describe to us the traffic,
00:07:07the roads, and specifically civil cars.
00:07:11Yes, of course, Hussam, there is a warning that came
00:07:15to me just now to move away a bit from
00:07:18this area, which seems to be somewhat elevated, so there are
00:07:21fears.
00:07:24Here they tell us that we must somewhat move a little further back
00:07:27to the rear, especially since
00:07:30shrapnel and explosions in the area could reach
00:07:46I return to Brigadier General Fayez Al-Asmar, security and military expert
00:07:50from Damascus. Brigadier General,
00:07:54your comment on the latest developments. So far, there are
00:07:57flashes of perhaps
00:07:59minor explosions.
00:08:03Okay. As an expert in this matter,
00:08:07the explosions, as long as they have continued for more than
00:08:10an hour, this indicates what I told
00:08:14you, my brother Hussam, that the weapons depots
00:08:17are a continuous chain, meaning they are
00:08:21connected to each other, and this is a big mistake. Our lands are,
00:08:24thank God, vast, and we have large areas
00:08:27and we have vast areas where weapons can be placed,
00:08:34towns? We have, thank God, deserts and a suitable
00:08:38place. Yes, there are tactical ammunition of the
00:08:40kind that each division can have nearby
00:08:44depots for tactical handling, but depots like
00:08:48this, which have been exploding for two hours, should be in a different
00:08:51place, my brother Hussam.
00:08:54The Brigadier, I heard him, and may God bless him, he was analyzing from
00:08:58one perspective, and he confined his analysis to Israel.
00:09:02I did not rule out Israel carrying out
00:09:05this mission, and I did not rule out,
00:09:08as I told you, Qasd militias, Al-Hijri militias, all these remnants.
00:09:12All of them have an interest in destabilizing security, and this is one of the methods
00:09:16of destabilizing the security of the army and armed forces,
00:09:19which must be protected and away from
00:09:23social media. Unfortunately, I have many
00:09:26observations on the
00:09:30scenes and military matters that appear on social
00:09:33media, whether at the Damascus International
00:09:36Fair or other than the Damascus International Fair. This is called
00:09:40the security of the armed forces, which must
00:09:42be tightened, even pictures of army officers
00:09:46and their names. We saw, I followed, and this is a big mistake,
00:09:50my brother Hussam, pictures of all army officers. I noticed when
00:09:54Netanyahu comes out
00:09:57and meets with four or five officers, they put a blur on
00:10:00their faces. No, unfortunately,
00:10:03the open air directly, officers
00:10:07of the Republican Guard, officers of the artillery administration, officers of the armament
00:10:10administration, in broad daylight. This is due to
00:10:14weak security, information security procedures, personnel
00:10:18security, leaders' security. Where are
00:10:34missiles, meaning Israel does not need to
00:10:36use an F-35 aircraft,
00:10:40and it has missiles that hit the target precisely. It is possible to use
00:10:53Israeli shelling or what happened.
00:10:59of explosions indicates that the depots are adjacent
00:11:02to each other. It must be, unfortunately, light weapons
00:11:06are stored with heavy weapons and perhaps missiles with
00:11:09artillery shells. I know that each type of ammunition must be
00:11:13handled differently from the other, and safety
00:11:17procedures and rules vary from one weapon to another.
00:11:20Yes, Brigadier General, Brigadier General, just to move
00:11:24to Syria TV's correspondent near the site of the
00:11:27explosions to find out
00:11:30the latest information and talk about it. Ibrahim, I'll go back to you. What is
00:11:34the latest information you have, Ibrahim?
00:11:37Yes, indeed, Wissam, until now, there are still some
00:11:41flashes coming out of the place resulting from these explosions that
00:11:44are happening, but the sounds of the explosions were weaker than the explosions
00:11:48that were happening during the previous
00:11:51period, meaning more than 15 so far.
00:11:55The sound of an explosion was heard in Aleppo city, and these are massive explosions resulting from this explosion that
00:11:58happened in the ammunition depot that, as I mentioned, is actually located in
00:12:02the al-Hadaba area in al-Eis. There are currently sounds you can hear,
00:12:06and Muhammad, the camera, these are also ambulance cars
00:12:09also heading to the place. Actually, the situation is complicated.
00:12:13It seems that the ambulance cars are heading, as I mentioned,
00:12:16Hussam, and stopping at the entrance of al-Eis. I mean, here we
00:12:20are standing at the bridge that leads to the al-Eis area.
00:12:23You can currently see the ambulance cars and I can see them well, they are lined up
00:12:26completely towards the area leading
00:12:29to the al-Eis area, and it seems that the handling is also very careful,
00:12:33especially since we are talking about an explosion
00:12:36of ammunition. Some shrapnel reaches civilian homes.
00:12:39A while ago, two civilians were standing next to me here,
00:12:42near me, who told me that
00:12:46some shrapnel
00:12:49the surrounding area of al-Eis
00:12:52directly, and this is actually, I mean, the shrapnel
00:12:55resulted from the explosions that occurred in the area
00:12:59primarily. We are standing here about, as I mentioned, about 8
00:13:02kilometers from the site of the explosion or the center
00:13:06of the area, the al-Hadaba area, primarily, and these cars that are currently standing about
00:13:10three or four kilometers away are Civil Defense cars and also
00:13:14ambulance cars, and there are also Syrian Red Crescent
00:13:17cars. And here, the head of internal security in Aleppo, Colonel Muhammad
00:13:21Abdel Ghani, had just visited the place and is directly supervising.
00:13:25In answer to the question I posed a short while ago about
00:13:29cutting off the road, currently the road leading to Saraqib city towards
00:13:34both sides, from the Saraqib side and also from the
00:13:36Khan Tuman side towards the southern Aleppo countryside areas,
00:13:40and therefore the residents who are currently intending to travel towards, here is also a flash
00:13:44I saw, Hussam, it seems that there is also, yes, a flash,
00:13:47yes, yes, I will try to zoom in the camera well on the place.
00:13:51I mean, the road currently leading between Saraqib towards
00:13:55Aleppo city is cut off, and the residents are being, the internal security is
00:13:58passing the residents and facilitating their passage through the surrounding villages
00:14:01towards keeping them away from the Damascus-Aleppo highway
00:14:04primarily. There are also reconnaissance aircraft, it seems that they
00:14:08also belong to the security forces here, monitoring the area.
00:14:12We see them closely and they are deployed in the area leading to
00:14:15Al-Eis, and these aircraft seem to be also for the purpose of
00:14:19assisting the ambulance cars here. The ambulance car also left the place,
00:14:23Muhammad. It seems that it also, Muhammad, Muhammad, the direction of the ambulance car
00:14:27that has currently left, this car belongs to the Syrian Civil Defense,
00:14:30or it seems that it belongs to the ambulance system. It had entered a short while
00:14:34ago and I cannot confirm if it carried or
00:14:38is carrying an injured person, this car went to
00:14:41the place and left, or what. Yes, yes, yes,
00:14:45yes, this car was in the place in the Al-Eis area and has left
00:14:49currently, and this road it took is towards
00:14:52Aleppo city directly. And it is a blocked
00:14:55road, as I mentioned, currently only for the security forces and also for
00:14:59ambulance cars, in addition to the presence of media outlets that were allowed
00:15:02to enter the area where we are standing primarily
00:15:06for safety, and there was also, as I mentioned, the passage a
00:15:09short while ago of four additional ambulance cars that arrived
00:15:12at the area where
00:15:17cars is primarily for responding
00:15:20to any reports of injuries or perhaps
00:15:24casualties. The area so far has not officially informed us, and I have not seen
00:15:28any transfer operations yet, whether for casualties or
00:15:30for injured, although some residents here confirmed to me
00:15:37the area where some shrapnel from explosions
00:15:41of rockets and ammunition at the explosion site
00:15:50the civilians in the villages around Al-Eis hill,
00:15:53what is the situation? Have you received any information about them? Have
00:15:56they left their homes? Is there an evacuation of civilians, or
00:16:00what?
00:16:02There is movement of people crossing. Upon our arrival at the scene, we noticed that
00:16:06some residents who had come out to this
00:16:09area crossed individually, on foot, towards
00:16:13the more distant areas here. It must be noted that
00:16:16the dangerous area currently is primarily Al-Eis area,
00:16:20and we will talk about the southern Aleppo countryside. We must point out to the viewers and the people of the area
00:16:24know that the villages in the southern Aleppo countryside are scattered.
00:16:29agricultural land between each village and village. I mean, even the area
00:16:33currently, Al-Eis area towards Al-Barqum area, about 10 kilometers,
00:16:37all of this is empty of residents and is agricultural land. Al-Eis area towards Al-Hadher,
00:16:41the same scene, and also towards Al-Zarba, towards Khalsa, all these areas
00:16:46agricultural land, and the southern Aleppo countryside is generally characterized by
00:16:50being agricultural areas. Look, look at this, this flash, Hussam, it seems
00:16:54that there is also a flash that the camera
00:16:57has perhaps captured directly, also resulting from an explosion
00:17:01that occurred in the place, but the sounds of the explosion, I mean, perhaps this
00:17:04flash is in another location, Ibrahim.
00:17:08Than the previous flashes.
00:17:23the danger currently is around the area from the Al-Hadaba
00:17:27area towards Al-Eis hill, towards the axis leading to the last
00:17:32Al-Eis, meaning it is within a radius of about three kilometers
00:17:35approximately. This is actually the axis of error.
00:17:38And the population concentration usually, a considerable portion of the residents and people
00:17:42of Al-Eis, those who had been displaced during the past
00:17:46period towards areas in northwestern Syria and towards the camps, have returned
00:17:49to the area and have actually started repairing
00:17:52their homes and returning. There are, I mean, in the Al-Eis area, perhaps about 30 to
00:17:5640% of the town's residents, and a while ago we were preparing a report about the southern
00:18:00Aleppo countryside and their suffering regarding agricultural lands and about
00:18:03that. Therefore, we actually noticed the return of residents, around 30 to 40%
00:18:07of Al-Eis residents to their towns. You can see
00:18:10currently, there is also entry now. There are internal security
00:18:14cars also crossing into the place.
00:18:18And these cars are also dealing with
00:18:21the situation alongside the operations of
00:18:25medical teams and the Syrian Civil Defense, and in general,
00:18:28every, I mean, 10 minutes there is an explosion or there is a flash coming out
00:18:32of the place, which actually indicates that the place
00:18:35the residents. As
00:18:38the medical teams, civil
00:18:41defense, and ambulance, and even for the security forces that are also trying
00:18:45to secure the place and trying to help the residents who wish
00:18:49to leave the city or the town towards
00:18:52the farther areas, and towards. Therefore, you can currently see
00:18:56some of these motorcycles. These
00:18:59motorcycles are actually for civilians and residents from the area,
00:19:02as the area is currently closed to anyone who wishes
00:19:06to enter, and therefore these motorcycles seem that they are also leaving the place.
00:19:10And this is a group of ambulance cars, I think two cars,
00:19:13an ambulance car, it seems to be an ambulance car. Also,
00:19:17the first car is an internal security car, and the other car is an ambulance car also leaving.
00:19:21This is an ambulance car, an ambulance car leaving the place,
00:19:24and I cannot actually confirm if it left, as I mentioned, carrying
00:19:28an injury, or if there is actually, it seems that
00:19:32it seems that it has left
00:19:34to secure the car. And that the need
00:19:38for its presence inside the place
00:19:42has ended or has been postponed temporarily. I mean, an ambulance
00:19:45car leaving is not a definite indicator, Hussam, as I mentioned, of an injury,
00:19:49because dealing with the situation is cautious,
00:19:52and I still see a series of cars or, I mean,
00:19:55the fleet of cars that entered the place, it seems that they are still
00:19:59currently lined up at the entrance leading
00:20:02to, I mean, what is known here as the Al-Eis climb.
00:20:05طلعه العيس.
00:20:08And they have not entered or
00:20:11general, I mean, an ammunition depot and danger,
00:20:14and perhaps a cooling operation may be taking place
00:20:17there also, as you can see now, if you
00:20:20have caught it on camera, Muhammad, you have caught
00:20:24the flash, I mean, also
00:20:27the location. Is the explosion site
00:20:30a military site? Did
00:20:33you see any military personnel leave the area
00:20:38or enter the area?
00:20:41No, no, I honestly did not notice any military presence
00:20:46the area, apart from the presence of security forces.
00:20:51The depot, at the end of the day, which exploded,
00:20:54actually, even if
00:20:57it was affiliated with the Ministry of Defense, I did not effectively notice the presence of cars
00:21:01belonging to the army or military vehicles at all. It is only the security forces that secure
00:21:05the area and are deployed, approximately every kilometer, there is a car
00:21:08belonging to the internal security forces, and these cars
00:21:12are actually deployed along the Damascus-Aleppo highway from
00:21:16Saraqib towards the Khan
00:21:19the area. They prevent civilians from approaching,
00:21:22and there you can also see this is an additional
00:21:25flash, and every
00:21:38the sounds that were heard when the explosion
00:21:41occurred. I mean, the first explosion, I was in the city of Hreitan in the northern Aleppo countryside,
00:21:45it shook the entire area from Aleppo to Hreitan, and some heard it
00:21:49in Azaz. The second, third, fourth, and fifth were really
00:21:52very strong, unlike these explosions that are happening now, which seem to be
00:21:56for individual rockets,
00:21:59unlike the explosions that happened at the beginning. It seems that they happened
00:22:02in areas where ammunition or rockets were concentrated simultaneously.
00:22:05This explosion led to great pressure and the sound reached Idlib
00:22:09city, and some residents in Sarmin also asked
00:22:13and wondered about the nature
00:22:16the area, and these sounds remind me when I was in
00:22:20the city of Atarib in the western Aleppo countryside a few days ago when
00:22:23an explosion also occurred in the city of Sarmin, which was also a very
00:22:27huge explosion. This explosion also was heard
00:22:30in the vicinity of the area, despite the fact that the explosion in
00:22:34Sarmin also occurred at noon, meaning during
00:22:36the day, unlike the explosion that occurred
00:22:40at night, and night leads, I mean, the sound of night, as they say here, leads,
00:22:43so the sound of the explosion was louder
00:22:47currently and its echo reached different
00:22:51areas. So far, I see cars, there is a new flash, and Civil
00:22:54Defense and ambulance are still in the area.
00:22:58I haven't seen any ambulance cars leaving
00:23:01carrying injured people. It seems that the mission has not started
00:23:04and that, I mean, we ask God for everyone's safety. It seems that
00:23:08the explosion may not have resulted in
00:23:11many or severe injuries. There are civilians,
00:23:15as I mentioned, two standing near me. You can see now,
00:23:18Hussam, here there is a flash
00:23:20and the emission
00:23:23of a fiery
00:23:26into the place directly, and there is
00:23:28also
00:23:32a scene of fire
00:23:35burning in the place.
00:23:37I will return.
00:23:40I will confirm here only the testimony of two civilians who said that
00:23:43one or two injuries, they said injuries, this is what they uttered,
00:23:47have occurred in the vicinity of the area. And that these injuries were
00:23:51caused by shrapnel that reached the place. This is what they told me, but I have
00:23:54no other confirmation, and they were standing near the place.
00:23:58Ibrahim, perhaps you can secure
00:24:01an interview with us from one of the civilians leaving
00:24:05the area of the
00:24:12Al-Asmar and I will return to you, Ibrahim, to get the latest
00:24:15information.
00:24:17Brigadier General Fayez
00:24:21Al-Asmar, according to the information now,
00:24:24there are fingers of accusation pointing
00:24:28towards Israel perhaps behind this bombing,
00:24:31and there is another
00:24:34explosion is due to misuse, and there
00:24:37is another analysis that says
00:24:41there are individuals in the army who are perhaps
00:24:44untrustworthy, especially from operations or other, they must be
00:24:48trustworthy.
00:24:51Especially in these depots. What do you say?
00:24:54Certainly, everything you mentioned, my brother
00:24:57Issam, must be taken into account by the investigations.
00:25:00The investigation must prove whether it was
00:25:03external attacks from outside Syrian borders
00:25:07or from within Syrian borders, and I told you
00:25:10that, I mean, it's possible
00:25:14security challenges could exist. I told you,
00:25:17remnants, possibly Hezbollah, possibly cells. Working against
00:25:20the security of the armed forces and possessing
00:25:24drones, 5 km, 10 km,
00:25:27they launch. So,
00:25:29always, the ammunition depot, if
00:25:33it is fortified
00:25:35with cement, you know reinforced, I mean, we don't know
00:25:39now, maybe it's just blocks that are exploding.
00:25:43It must be reinforced concrete,
00:25:46cannot be penetrated by
00:25:50any drone, unless it's destructive missiles to
00:25:53reach it. And then, my brother Hussam, the time
00:25:57of above-ground depots is over. We must know this. I mean, people are
00:26:00developing. I mean, all depots are now in the mountains
00:26:04and tunnels. Look at Iran, look
00:26:07at, as I told you, we have vast geography. I mean, it's not
00:26:11reasonable to still put them in Al-Eis or in Sarmin
00:26:15or in Dumayr or here or there. It's not reasonable. The military
00:26:18leadership must look for other places
00:26:22for depots and move depots out of cities. Is it
00:26:25possible for them to do that and build
00:26:27underground depots
00:26:30we are a state, we are a state,
00:26:32we are a state, we are no longer a faction to say
00:26:36we can or we can't. We are a
00:26:39state, a state. I mean, in terms of military expertise
00:26:42and financial cost, it is available. It is definitely available
00:26:45and must be invested. It must be invested. Let's
00:26:48say, are these
00:26:51marginalized? I mean, you can say,
00:26:55you can say, the word marginalized,
00:26:58they are playing their roles, but not
00:27:07we are in charge of things, but there must be
00:27:11responsible academics
00:27:13for these matters. That is, warehouses inside cities are an old method.
00:27:18the mountains underground, even if it's a flat land, underground.
00:27:22And build reinforced concrete. A missile
00:27:26carries two kilos of
00:27:29explosives and blows up warehouses that have been exploding for three hours.
00:27:40That is, excuse me for interrupting so much, but
00:27:44due to the information and urgent news that came in,
00:27:47the commander of Aleppo operations at the Directorate of Emergency and Disaster Management,
00:27:51Faisal Muhammad Ali, told SANA that civil defense teams
00:27:54are entering the explosion site
00:27:57and evacuating four injured people.
00:28:01So, civil defense teams are entering the explosion
00:28:04site and evacuating four
00:28:07injured people. I return to you, Brigadier General. Brother Hossam, brother Hossam, certainly,
00:28:11I am analyzing the words of our brother
00:28:20I analyze the situation. The main
00:28:23explosions were for M-D missiles or
00:28:27heavy non-M-D missiles and 155
00:28:30artillery shells and so on. I imagine
00:28:33that it ended. It ended, and
00:28:36it happened during the first quarter of an hour or twenty minutes.
00:28:40The main explosions ended,
00:28:43and now the flashes are for light weapons or
00:28:46light explosives or secondary
00:28:49explosion products, light ammunition, medium ammunition rounds,
00:28:53you know what I mean. As for the strong explosions, and this
00:28:56indicates that the explosion
00:29:00ended and the Civil Defense began to enter the area.
00:29:03As for the first wave
00:29:07of the explosion, that is, at a distance of 10, 15,
00:29:1020 km, according to my information and what I receive
00:29:14from information, the explosion products reached places
00:29:1715 km away. That means this high pressure
00:29:21and the explosions were for missiles, for artillery shells.
00:29:24All of this
00:29:28the first hour or the first half hour.
00:29:31Now, perhaps the Civil
00:29:34Defense, the fire brigades will
00:29:38the situation. The area must be truly isolated,
00:29:42and appropriate investigations
00:29:46should be conducted. There are people who should be specialists in the products of the explosion.
00:29:50They should search for them. You know,
00:29:57and as you said, we cannot
00:30:01exclude Israel, nor can we exclude any person who
00:30:04has enmity with the Syrian state. I do not
00:30:07exclude them. Challenges are many,
00:30:10and the Syrian state knows who is who and who is suspected.
00:30:13The second matter, and this is of
00:30:15great importance, is that
00:30:19we are now recruiting volunteers. We are giving them a four-day course,
00:30:2310 days, two weeks, a month, you know. These
00:30:27courses are not enough, brother Hossam. These courses are not enough to deal
00:30:30with an army. This is an army, okay? We must
00:30:34first teach them discipline. Teach them discipline
00:30:37and institutionalism. Then arm them. We must build
00:30:41a strong army, a disciplined army, an institutional army, an army
00:30:44with military hierarchy, an army with
00:30:47respect for each other. And then I think about arming it. It comes in the second
00:30:51degree, because the disciplined person and the disciplined
00:30:54fighter and the person who enjoys
00:30:57institutionalism and who has the right ideology.
