Dozens of Jaish Al-Islam fighters were killed and injured in a cowardly suicide terrorist bombing that ripped through one of the group’s bases in the town of Naseeb in rural Dara’a.
The bombing, which bears the hallmarks of the ISIS terrorist organization, serves only the interests of the Assad regime and the terrorist militias that aid and abet it in the crimes it is committing against the Syrian people. The Assad regime and its allied terrorist militias have so far violated the “de-escalation zones” agreement more than 130 times over the past month by bombing the rebel-held areas with all types of weapons.
The Syrian Coalition extends its condolences to the families of the victims as it wishes the wounded speedy recovery. It stressed the need to continue the fight against the ISIS terrorist organization and its affiliates and to show the utmost caution and stay alerted to any attempts to spread chaos in the area. In parallel, the Coalition stresses the FSA groups’ right to respond to violations by the Assad regime and its allied foreign militias.
