ISIL’s reign in southwest Syria nears its end as SAA troops liberate more towns
2018-07-29
[ALMASDARNEWS] 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....
’s (ISIS/ISIS/ISIS) reign in southwest Syria is nearing its end, as the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) closes in on the terrorist group’s last positions in the Daraa Governorate.

Backed by heavy Arclight airstrikes and artillery strikes, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) resumed their operations in the Yarmouk Basin region this afternoon, targeting several towns that were still under the occupation of the ISIS-affiliated Jaish Khaled bin Yarmouk forces.

According to a military source in Daraa, the Syrian Arab Army managed to liberate the towns of Nafia’a , Abu Rafah, and Shajarah after a short battle with the Jaish Khaled bin Walid terrorists.

The Syrian Arab Army is now working to clear the mines and IEDs that were left behind by the Jaish Khaled bin Walid forces of Evil before they withdrew south towards the mountains near the borders of the occupied Golan Heights and Jordan.

As a result of this advance by the Syrian Arab Army, the Jaish Khaled bin Walid forces of Evil are now in control of 1 percent of the Daraa Governorate.

The Syrian Arab Army should be able to take control of this last 1 percent that is under the Islamic State’s control in the coming days, as the latter has virtually nowhere to go and very little provisions to maintain a long fight against the government.

#4  Syrian Arab Army? LOL

By doing so they risk precipitating open war between Israel and Syria... Or the locals will make sure Israel knows exactly where and who the outsiders are, so that weapons are pointed at the proper targets. That kind of thing is already happening in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon, where recently a gentleman was convicted of being ignored by the Israelis when he tried to become an informant.

#2  Time to admit this is the true face of Islam and the "moderates" are in the minority.

You misspelled "discreet", SPOD

#1  ISIS will be back with a different name and different leaders but spout the same mainstream craziness of Islam. They are just a different family of Islam but they share the same ideals as Boko Haram and other Islamic groups.

Time to admit this is the true face of Islam and the "moderates" are in the minority.
