ISIS beats back Syrian Army offensive at strategic As Sweida mountain
[AlMasdar] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

 (ISIS) terror organization has refused to surrender their last positions in southern Syria, despite being fully surrounded by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).

As a result of the Islamic State’s territorial advantage, the Syrian Arab Army has been forced to meticulously move through this rugged terrain in east Sweida.

Below is a video from the Syrian Arab Army’s ongoing attack against the Islamic State in the Badiya al-Sham region of the Sweida Governorate:
