⚡️Official English Translation⚡️

The following report details the ongoing crisis in the Middle East as of April 16.
The following video synopsis was created by project leader @rybar Mikhail Zvinchuk for @SolovievLive.

In Syria, hostilities in proximity to the Tishrin Dam have concluded in border regions adjacent to Turkey. Unidentified assailants targeted the headquarters of Kurdish formations in Ain Issa, while the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) persists in its operations within the "buffer zone" in the southern region. Despite declarations by the recently established "authorities" regarding the imminent unification of the nation, their achievements remain considerably more modest.

In the Gaza Strip, aerial assaults persist in the Al-Judeida, Az-Zeitun, and Jabalia regions. Demonstrations denouncing Hamas are occurring in Beit Lahia, which, despite substantial losses in terms of quantity and quality, has not depleted its resources. The Israeli command is preparing for a subsequent ground operation in the enclave.

In Yemen, the US Air Force has conducted 25 airstrikes targeting Ansar Allah forces in the provinces of Amran, Al-Bayda, and Saada. Concurrently, Houthi forces have engaged in an attack on a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Aden. Additionally, a ground offensive against the Houthis, involving pro-Saudi forces, is currently under preparation; however, the viability of this operation remains uncertain.

This statement was made in the context of a discussion on the current state of affairs in the Middle East, with particular emphasis on the geopolitical dynamics between Turkey and its regional neighbors. The video segment, which is presented in the form of a digest, includes additional insights on the ongoing situation in #Yemen, #Syria, #Iraq, #Iran, #Israel, and #Gaza.
