so whatever I stated about Western media certainly applies to media in general. In any event, Western media is included in your reference to media in general, so my comments remain relevant regardless.

My point had to do with singling out Western motives, not Western media, and leaving out the motives of all other power players in Syria. Just as the article you cited does not address this, neither does your post. The unconfirmed reports you referred to, however you want to interpret them in light of additional reporting from Times of Israel and an unidentified lawyer/journalist/activist, do not address the question that I raised.

And while it is common, and necessary, to conceal military plans and actions from the enemy in all armed conflicts, this doesn't address the fact and the question I raised:

- The article you cited doesn't mention any troop incursions into southern Syria, from either Lebanon or Israel, by either IDF, Hezbollah or LAF, nor does it offer any accounts of such actions, which makes the two introductory sentences in your post rather puzzling, and

- Isn't it equally dishonest of the Western media (whether by themselves or in concert with other media sources) to not mention that Turkey, Iran, ISIS, Russia, the Kurds, and just about every other faction that influences events in Syria is fighting for the same resources?
