    The video ends with a sermon from Talul as-Safa and words from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, implying that will continue to fight there. Should be noted that the group was expelled from the area a couple days ago.

    In yet another odd sequence, an camera manages to capture a line of fighters successfully maneuvering past multiple heavy machine gun posts and positions, before being eventually gunned down. No change in music to signify their supposed martyrdom, BTW, it just cuts.

    In an odd clip, an fighter is seen being shot and stumbles down a hill. The nashid playing is one oft-used over clips of fighters either being shot and killed or just before dying in a suicide bombing. But uh, this guy just survives and just stumbles off-screen.

    Might have to squint, but / fighters can be seen fleeing the battle after fighters managed to fend off another assault, which was shown in an incredibly frenzied montage even by propaganda standards.

    Shots of daily life for fighters at Talul as-Safa: praying, reading Qur'an, making bread, and gathering whatever firewood exists in the barren rockscape.

    draws out a map of how they used their expulsion from Yarmouk to gain a larger advantage by settling in Talul as-Safa, which they used as a launching point for the attack on City that killed hundreds and injured hundreds more.

    Islamic State announces its new production from Damascus. Pretty interesting, considering today's announcement of the end of fighting against IS forces there.

    Side note: I'm not totally sure why HTS would make such a film about a campaign that ended in a major victory for the Syrian government, but it looks like its more about the initial successes of the campaign and the resistance it showed to Astana than anything else.

    I sometimes have crippling bouts of imposter syndrome where I think that no organization would ever hire me to do journalistic work Then I read that CNN brags about almost hiring Benny Johnson and I feel like I can make it

    Hey . Don’t you think you should disclose that you wanted to work at CNN — and we almost hired you — until you were discovered to be a pathological plagiarist?
