| [ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has assigned Brigadier General Osama Zahreddine the task of leading the Hader-Quneitra operations room in the Syrian Golan Heights. In the past four days, the SAA in Quneitra province has been fighting off both rebel attacks and Israeli air raids. Osama Zahreddine is the brother of legendary Major General Issam Zahreddine, commander-in-chief of the SAA's forces at Deir Ezzor, a city still withstanding a two year long 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.

Both Zahreddine brothers originate from a Druze family in Sweida province, further south. Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac? Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features. If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng,he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!... the majority of inhabitants in the Golan Heights are equally Druze; therefore, Osama Zahreddine's deployment hints at a SAA strategy opting to win the hearts and minds of local inhabitants. The Quneitra governorate has been locked down in somewhat of a stalemate since the al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat 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 .. ... (now Jabhat Fateh al-Sham ...formerly al-Nusra, the current false nose and mustache of al-Qaeda in the Levant... ) seized the town of al-Quneitra and its the border crossing to Israel in 2014. |
