Reinforcements from Sweida pour into the Golan Heights
[ALMASDARNEWS] A massive convoy of reinforcements from the al-Sweida Governorate arrived in the Golan Heights today after the jihadist rebels mobilized more fighters to launch a 4th offensive.According to a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) source, the government convoy was made up of fighters from the National Defense Forces (NDF), Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), Jaish al-Muwahiddeen (Druze militia), and the 5th Armored Division. Most of the non-army reinforcements are volunteers from the al-Sweida Governorate that traveled to the Golan Heights to protect their people from the jihadist rebels. Similar to al-Sweida, Jabal al-Sheikh's (Mount Hermon) population is mostly Syrian Druze, making their communities very close; this is one of the reasons why several fighters volunteered to protect this area from jihadist rebels.
