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).
Hard to see what there is to smile about
they are all deeply traumatized and damaged.
Poor guys... 
I find it very hard to believe that this is Jaysh al-Izza...
Jaysh al-Izza has been very close to HTS for years. I know this from Jaysh al-Izza commanders and observing closed online interactions between members.
I know that, but usage of this cammo and patches is seen way more in lines of HTS, while JaI uses revolutionary flag lot more and I didn't see HTS members with revolutionary flag nor JaI members with this version of black standard...
Thanks for picture. Uniform/Plate carrier are very much used in rows of JaI...
Lol that’s like saying ppl wearing Nazi patches are not Nazis. They just do it for fun.
the Nazi symbol was unique, ISIS appropriated popular Islamic symbols
The Swastika was not unique, it had a long history as a good luck symbol across large parts of Eurasia and can even be found in many pre-Nazi European buildings and art. ISIS may have taken more popular symbols but the Nazis were not using anything unique. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Northern_Europe …
You are welcome to wear it around in the west. Let’s see the reception you get.
Well that was part of what I was trying to note. Saying the swastika has a history doesn't mean that if you wear it today people won't assume (probably rightly) that you're a Nazi.
People wear it in Asia all the time, and they aren't Nazis. I always smile and laugh to myself when I see it. It's cute.
So not ISIS, but close to HTS (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, formerly Al Qaeda in Syria), so some kind of Salafi Jihadist, but technically not ISIS. Technically.
‘This group is not linked to Isis’ Bullllllllllllllllllllllllssssssssshhhhhhhhhh*******tttttttt
Basically, it walks like a duck, squawks like a duck but is actually a goose. 
They are terrorists, simple as that.
And so? I just see some syrian guys over a monkey (like u)
