Rebels battle ISIS in Dara’a
2016-08-29
[ALMASDARNEWS] Heavy festivities erupted between the Southern Front conglomeration of rebel factions and the ISIS-affiliated Jaish Khalid Bin Al-Walid on the outskirts of Hawd Al-Yarmouk located in the southern western part of Dara’a province.

After months of inactivity on that front, the MOK-operated rebels seem focused on banishing ISIS from the province. However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Lions of Islam have fortified the Hawd Al-Yarmouk blob for many months building strong defense lines on all its perimeters.

Should the rebel forces wipe out the ISIS blob that is on the Israeli-Jordanian borders, they would be better-positioned in the province to fight the Syrian government forces should the ceasefire break.
