TV report: Islamic State chiefs gather near Israel border, set up training camp
[IsraelTimes] Having fled Iraq and northern Syria, several top commanders of terror group now in Golan Heights enclave, recruiting and running propaganda effort, says Israel's Channel 2Several senior commanders from 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.... who recently fled from Iraq and northern Syria are now based in southern Syria, just across the Golan Heights border with Israel, and are training hundreds of new recruits there, an Israeli television report said. Israel’s Channel 2 said the commanders have made their way to an Islamic State-controlled enclave "close to the border" with Israel. They have set up a training camp to which they have recruited 300 local youths, said the report, which showed footage apparently of the camp and training sessions. Among the commanders is one of Islamic State’s most notorious recruiters, Abu Hamam Jazrawi, the TV report said. The commanders are also now running Islamic State internet propaganda campaigns from their new base, in place of the former campaign headquarters in Raqqa, the Death Eaters’ former de facto capital in northwest Syria where the fight to oust them has entered what appear to be its final stages. The Israeli government has vowed to prevent IS from setting up operations close to the Israeli border. Israel "won’t allow Islamic State figures or other enemy actors, under the cover of the war in Syria, to set up next to our borders," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last November, soon after what was believed to be the first notable clash between IS button men and Israeli troops. The incident involved a short exchange of gunfire between an Islamic State-affiliated terrorist group and Israeli soldiers, and ended with an IDF Both the IS-affiliated Khalid ibn al-Walid Army and the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham ...formerly al-Nusra, the current false nose and mustache of al-Qaeda in the Levant... , formerly the al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front, which is linked to al-Qaeda, have been set up on Israel’s borders for years. Despite a relatively long-lasting "live and let live" relationship with these groups, the IDF has warned of a potential ‐ some say inevitable ‐ conflict with them and has been preparing to respond to cross-border attacks.
