    Syrian rebels (Fath al-Mubin op room) vow today to keep defending the totally destroyed Kafr Zita, Hama, as regime & Russia pound the town. Note how young they are, reflecting the typical composition of opposition factions at this stage. These young men have known nothing but warpic.twitter.com/MU1AEiZpnq

        The fighters are apparently from Jaysh al-Izza, a rebel faction close to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham with many Hamawi and Homsi members. The group is not linked to ISIS, despite wearing patches with the seal of the prophet used by ISIS (& other jihadist groups).

        It's still the shahada. It's to emphasize their adherence to tawheed.

        Many groups use the shahada and have their own design/logo for it. Strange for these men to specifically wear the very recognizable ISIS version.

        only a person with 0 knowledge of the situation in Idlib would claim so. ISIS cells are hunted down by HTS. This patch isn't ISIS, it's one used by other Islamist/jihadist forces

        There is no ISIS in Idlib. It’s not unique to ISIS, it’s seal of the prophet, you ignorant supporter of mass murder/tortuter, father to son dictator Assad who is proven to use chemical weapons on civilians; killed, tortured hundreds of thousands of civilians.

        What you don't understand is prophet did not use that style flag. The flag is made by ISIS. It represents ISIS. There is ISIS in Idlib.

        Surprised how ignorant people are claiming isis patched when literally these are Islamic tawheed or shahadah . In coming days they might claim rebels scream same Allah o Akbar as isis

        I'm more surprised by lack of political skills of HTS, dozens versions of shahada flag and they have to use one that is in this time known as IS one, it isn't smart at all.

        No this isn't ISIS design, but it's known as ISIS flag by majority of people who just seen IS using them on Internet/TV and didn't bither to research.

        Prophet Muhammed pbuh used black flag, caliphs after all used black standard and after years many designs appeared, this one used by IS has very non detailed design with what some say is seal of prophet and letters that don't take much effort to draw, so it's probably old design.
