[Rusvesna] At least two Syrian radical Islamic groups are planning attacks in the wake of Syrian president Bashir al-Assad's coming inauguration, according to Russian language sources.

Khuras al-Din
... Al Nusra ally also spelt Hurras al-Deen, which apparently is Arabic for "Guardians of Religion", though sometimes it is called Harakat Ansar al-Deen. The membership includes foreigners as well as Syrians...
and Ansar al-Tawhid
...formerly Jund al-Aqsa, it merged with Tanzim Hurras al-Deen in 2018 to form Nusret Islam, now apparently known as “Hurras al-Deen and Ansar al-Tawhid”, or sometimes Tanzim Ansar al-Tawhid — because if you can’t play Toad The Wet Sprocket with organization names, what is the point? The combined group lost a bunch of emirs a couple of years ago from around the Ummah...
groups recently completed preparations for attacks on Syrian government forces in the south, according to the sources:

It has been established that the turbans are almost finishing preparing for an attack on a number of facilities of the Syrian Arab army. In addition, military equipment was transferred to the Kneddah area, 40 km from Idlib, including a group of pickups with homemade rocket launchers, up to 300 turbans and a truck with ammunition.

The proof, according to the sources, is that those groups have been conducting attacks against Ottoman Turkish backed militia, their columns and at checkpoints. A failed attack against Maaret El-Ihuan by Khuras al-Din, also took place the day before. The Death Eaters have been looting local residents and robbing NGO supply columns.

Slowing down the radicals' operations have been the recent closure of the border checkpoint at Bab al-Hawa.

Syrian forces have responded to the threats by increasing the number of checkpoints.

The reports say that the Death Eaters are being supplied by "foreign intelligence services."

The attack plans are to take place in Daraa and El-Quneitra provinces. The report said the terrorist sleeper cells have been filled out in Tafas, Nava, Jasim, Es-Sanamain, Dail and Mutaya.
