The Syrian Air Force Intelligence raided the headquarters of Liwaa’ ‘Ahrar Al-Saahal in Jableh, Latakia after intercepting intel transmitted between the members of the organization. Upon discovery, Syrian Security Forces discovered an underground headquarters, equipped with weapons, ammunition, IEDs, and electronic communication devices.

According to a source in Latakia, the members of Liwaa’ ‘Ahrar Al-Saahal that were detained are as followed: Sa’oud Karim, ‘Ahmad Karim, ‘Ahmad Al-‘Ayata, Mustafa Istambawali, Saleh Zreik, Hassan Hassan, Bilal Nanawa’a. The group was known for their multiple acts of terror committed in Latakia and the assassination attempts of Syrian Government officials. The group recently targeted Mustafa ‘Azzam (“Al-Jid”) in Jableh; however, their assassination attempt failed.

For the groups affiliated with the Islamic Front, the loss of Hassan ‘Abboud – leader of ‘Ahrar Al-Sham – is a striking blow to the already depleted force. Liwaa’ ‘Ahrar Al-Saahal was a primary contact for the Islamic Front in Latakia; this loss could not come at a worse time for the I.F. as the battle for Aleppo is intensifying on the northern front.

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
