    Many of these men are ex-rebels belonging to the ’ 4th Brigade - the worst supported brigade of the |n-backed Corps. According to local NDF, ex-rebels are being sent on patrols w/no support, those who make it back are sent out again.

    (EDITED) Martyrdom reports continue to trickle in from & desert, but I’m told by a source in Palmyra that the number of deaths reported are no where near the reality: 30-50 men are dying in the desert EVERY WEEK (not day like I said earlier) to raids.

    I was told the unit hit in this attack was led by Ahmad Awde, former commander of 's Shabab al-Sunnah. However , as pointed out, most reports claims ex-rebels have refused to go to frontlines.

    : Incite the Believers Op. Room launched today it's biggest operation to date, aka coordinated raids in Jebal Turkman (N. ), seizing several positions, killing and capturing a number of Assad's fighters.
