He is the very model of a modern major general!
will lead the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) upcoming offensive to liberate the 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....
(ISIS) stronghold of Albukamal, a military source told al-Masdar News this morning.

According to the source, General Hassan was informed this week that his Tiger Forces will lead the offensive from the T-2 Pumping Station to the border-city of Albukamal; however, this will not commence until Deir Ezzor City is liberated.

The source added that the Russian High Command want General Hassan to lead the operation and this was agreed upon by the Syrian Arab Army’s High Command.

If the operation proves successful, the Syrian Arab Army will be able to cutoff the Islamic State’s most important supply route from the Iraqi city of al-Qa’im.
