April 29, 2018 -- Updates on Syrian War


On April 19, the Iraqi air force struck ISIS near the eastern border of Syria.  On April 23, Newsweek reported that Syrian and Russian forces were winning the battle against ISIS to win back Damascus.  On April 29, a massive explosion shook the city of Hama as the result of an attack on a Syrian base.  It was part of a series of attacks in the province of Hama and Aleppo.  The explosion was strong enough to register on earthquake monitors in Lebanon and Turkey.  One site record a magnitude of 2.6 on the Richter scale.  The source of the attack has not yet been determined, though some suspect Israel.  There are videos of the explosion on Twitter.
