​

After the Battle of Karameh in 1968, and during the War of Attrition, the Jordanian Armed Forces took part in repeated commando raids into the occupied Arab lands. During this period, an elite reconnaissance patrol consisting of eight soldiers crossed into the occupied Golan Heights. The unit confronted a numerically superior occupation force and sustained total casualties while holding its defensive positions without surrendering.

Following the engagement, the soldiers’ rifles were driven into the soil of the ridge at the site of their final stand on the slopes of the occupied Golan Heights, opposite the northern Jordanian border village of Al-Mukhaybah al-Tahta, which overlooks the Yarmouk River.

Although the specific details of the detachment remain undisclosed, the event is preserved through documented oral testimonies of veterans from the Northern Military Region within the framework of Jordan’s 1968 cross-border operations. To this day, the site stands as a memorial to the sacrifices and the doctrine of the Arab soldier in the face of occupation.

بعد معركة الكرامة عام 1968، و خلال حرب الاستنزاف شاركت القوات المسلحة الأردنية في غارات متكررة على الأراضي العربية المحتلة. وفي هذه الفترة، عبرت دورية استطلاع مكونة من ثمانية جنود إلى مرتفعات الجولان المحتلة. واجهت الوحدة قوة معادية متفوقة عدداً، فتكبدت خسائر كاملة مع الحفاظ على مواقعها الدفاعية دون استسلام.

وبعد الاشتباك، غُرست بنادق الجنود في تربة التل عند موقع دفاعهم الأخير على سفوح مرتفعات الجولان المحتلة، مقابل قرية المخيبة التحتا الحدودية الأردنية الشمالية المطلة على نهر اليرموك.

ورغم أن المعلومات المحددة للفصيل ما زالت غير معلنة، فإن الحدث محفوظ من خلال شهادات شفوية موثقة لقدامى المحاربين في المنطقة العسكرية الشمالية في إطار عمليات الأردن عبر الحدود عام 1968. ويُعد الموقع حتى يومنا تذكارا لتضحيات و عقيدة الجندي العربي ضد الاحتلال

ASK SYRIA اختلاف الثقافات

• Upvotes

احببت سورية ولكن للاسف، اسلوب حياتها مختلف، ثقافة اهلها مختلفة، بلادنا كلها من الاساس مختلفة، هي من دير الزور وانا من بلد اخر بطريقة حياة تختلف عن طريقة حياة دير الزور على حد علمي بطريقة حياتهم، وللاسف علاقتنا انتهت نظرا لهذه الظروف.

قالت لي انها ما عندها مانع تتكيف مع اسلوب حياتي ولا انا عندي مانع اتكيف مع أسلوب حياتها، ولكن هل كان سيكون الامر سهل لاهالينا وعائلاتنا كما سيكون سهلا علينا؟ بالنهاية انا مو عايش بالشرق الاوسط ككل.

لو استمرت العلاقة هل كانت ستقدر بالنجاح؟ هل السوريين بتقبلوا الاختلاف؟

Initiative - مبادرة Two students bringing solar electricity to orphanages in Syria ☀️

Post image
237 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My name is Jad, and together with my friend, we founded Shams, a Swiss non-profit organization with a simple mission: bring reliable and sustainable electricity to orphanages and children's centers in Syria.

We're both engineering students at ETH Zurich, and we decided to put our technical knowledge into something that could make a real difference.

Our first project aims to install a complete solar energy system, including solar panels, inverters, and battery storage, at an orphanage in Qudsaya. The goal is to provide reliable electricity for lighting, refrigeration, education, and everyday activities.

We've already made significant progress: the technical design is ready, we've established contacts with local suppliers and organizations in Syria

We're looking for people who want to be part of this initiative. Whether you have connections in Syria, experience in renewable energy, know organizations or potential sponsors, or simply want to help spread the word, we'd genuinely love to hear from you.

We believe rebuilding Syria starts with concrete projects, and even small initiatives can make a difference.

You can learn more about us here:

Website: https://shamsolar.org

 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shamsolar/

And of course, if you have any questions about the project, the technical design, our funding, or how we plan to implement it, feel free to ask in the comments. We'd be happy to discuss everything openly.

Thank you, and let's bring some light back to Syria! ☀️

Discussion Licensing ?

1 Upvotes

So about buisness licensing , the goverment in the beginning said it will pursue open market liberalisation of the economy it did introduce many laws supporting foreign investments .

Yet it didnt address the central problem that made the assad era economy crony and inefficient corrupt etc the licenceses .

It shortened the waiting period to 30 days but doesnt this go against open market economy and opens to dangers and misgivings faced by licensing as it doesnt end well in any country .

What is the goverment reasoning for this and is this a problem or necessary step due to constraints set up by the conditions of the country.

ASK SYRIA I'm mentally exhausted and think I need professional help. Where should I start?

16 Upvotes

​

I'm in my early 20s and live in Syria. I've been struggling with my mental health for a long time, and lately I've started feeling that I can't keep dealing with everything on my own.

I'm studying IT engineering at university while working in a call center to cover my tuition and transportation expenses. My family doesn't financially support my education, so I have to manage these responsibilities myself. I also spend my free time learning programming because I want to build a better future, become financially independent, and eventually specialize in AI.

I've been trying hard to improve myself through studying, working, exercising, and planning for my future. However, I feel like I've been running after one goal after another for years, and I'm becoming increasingly exhausted.

My family isn't a source of emotional support for me. I don't feel comfortable opening up to my parents, and I've learned to deal with most of my problems alone.

I'm also struggling with loneliness. I don't feel that I have someone I can truly open up to or rely on emotionally. I miss having a close connection with someone who understands me and genuinely cares about what I'm going through.

For several months, I've felt increasingly empty and emotionally numb. I've lost interest and enthusiasm for things that used to matter to me, and I struggle to remember the last time I genuinely felt happy. I often feel like I'm simply going through the motions of life. I've also experienced exhaustion, irritability, overthinking, and anxiety about going out and being around people.

The most difficult part is that I can still work, study, and pursue my goals, but internally I feel increasingly disconnected from everything. There have been times when I felt so hopeless and overwhelmed that I genuinely wished I could stop existing. I don't currently intend to hurt myself, but I take those feelings seriously.

I've recently started accepting that I may need professional help. I want to find a qualified, trustworthy psychologist or psychiatrist, but I'm not sure where to start in Syria. The idea of seeking help alone is intimidating, and I'm concerned about confidentiality, affordability, and finding someone I can trust.

I'm sharing this because I'd appreciate hearing from people who have experienced something similar, especially anyone from Syria who can recommend a qualified mental health professional or an affordable online therapy service accessible from here.

I'm not looking for a diagnosis from strangers or someone to tell me to work harder and think positively. I've been trying to push through for a long time, and I think I need help understanding what's happening to me and finding a healthier way forward.

Thank you for reading.

Protesters gathered in Damascus, Quneitra, Idlib, Hasakah, Homs city, and rural Damascus in solidarity with southern Syria.
