2018-01-27
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Islamist operations room in Harasta announced tonight that they will not adhere to the recently implemented ceasefire in the East Ghouta.

According to myrmidon groups, they are not committed to the ceasefire and will continue their field operations around the strategic vehicle management base in the Harasta suburb.

The operation will likely be led by Harakat Ahrar al-Sham
...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014...
and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
, which are the two factions that led the last assault on the vehicle management base.

Despite the refusal by the Islamist groups, the Syrian Army and Faylaq al-Rahman will continue to adhere to the ceasefire in the East Ghouta.
