Syrian soldiers to civilians in Idlib: keep out of Nusra
[ALMASDARNEWS] A group of pro-government fighters asked the civilians in the northwestern province of Idlib to stay away from rebel positions and headquarters ahead of a prospected incursion into the jihadi-held province."We are addressing the innocent and honorable civilians of Idlib who have not been involved with Jabhet 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 .. ... , Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... or the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... : seek safety away from the jihadists before the sweeping ground invasion toward Abu Duhour airbase begins during the next 24 hours," the soldier said in a video posted on social media today. The soldier identified himself as one of Khalid al-Daher group; a pro-government faction fighting jihadi rebels and who are originally from the villages surrounding the Abu Duhour airbase. The Syrian Army has amassed troops in southern Aleppo countryside in bid to grab more lands from the hardline fighters in Idlib northern countryside. Posted by: Fred 2017-11-06 |
