| Yarmouk Army disclaims responsibility of guarding Nasib border crossing: statement |
| 2015-07-10 |
| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] A key rebel group operating under Southern Front in Daraa province, said over disputes with other rebel groups it will not continue its mission as a guardian of Nasib border crossing which rebels had captured last April, according to statement issued Wednesday. Yarmouk Army said some rebel groups have made barracks inside the border crossing what has disturbed their mission in securing the strategic border crossing. Southern region, including Daraa, is of strategic importance due to its proximity to Damascus and neighboring states Israel and Jordan. It is also the last significant foothold of mainstream rebels, who have mostly been crushed elsewhere in Syria by government forces or jihadist groups. |
