Western-backed rebels take control of large parts of eastern Al-Sweida
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Western-backed Free Syrian Army... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) continued their large-scale advance near the Iraqi border-crossing on Monday, seizing large parts of al-Sweida’s eastern countryside from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) forces. Free Syrian Army units operating in al-Sweida’s Badiyah area launched another powerful assault this weekend, striking the remaining areas under ISIS’ control. According to the Free Syrian Army’s official media wing, their forces seized the al-Badiyah area of al-Sweida on Sunday, giving them control of more territory inside the province. On Monday, the Free Syrian Army units managed to reach the Syrian Arab Army’s front-lines in eastern al-Sweida for the first time since the Islamic State took control of this area in late 2014. With the massive Kurdish offensive in al-Raqqa, the Islamic State has put their field operations in southern Syria on hold until they are able to stabilize their positions in the northern part of the country.
