On Sunday morning, the conglomerate of Al-Qaeda affiliates that form “Jaysh Al-Fateh” (Army of Conquest) have launched their second round of indiscriminate attacks on the predominately Shi’i towns of Al-Fou’aa and Kafraya inside the Idlib Governorate after failing to produce any gains during their brutal offensive last week.

Led by the largest forces in Jaysh Al-Fateh – Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” – the Islamist militants pounded Al-Fou’aa and Kafraya from three different flanks; however, their multitude of rockets and mortar shells launched by these Islamist fighters did little damage to the National Defense Forces’ (NDF) fortifications.

The Islamist forces of Jaysh Al-Fateh claim their battle for Al-Fou’aa and Kafraya is merely a reprisal for the full-scale offensive conducted by the Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah at the resort-city of Al-Zabadani in Syria’s western countryside; this threat has done very little to deter the latter, as they have captured 80 percent of the city.

Be Civil

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

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.

Now the hard part!

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.
