The heroic Syrian Arab Army and its allies have been fighting a fierce war against multi-national terrorists from all over the globe. The battle against isis was the fiercest.
With the ongoing invasion by Turkey- the main backer of terrorists in Syria- of many towns and villages in North and East Syria, many of isis members and cells were given a boost!
According to different news outlets, many isis terrorists have broken out of prisons in northern Syria after Turkish shelling
Turkey is recruiting and retraining isis terrorists to lead its invasion of Afrin in northern Syria, according to an ex-isis source.
“Most of those who are fighting in Afrin against the Syrian Kurds are isis, though Turkey has trained them to change their assault tactics,” said Faraj, a former isis fighter from north-east Syria who remains in close touch with isis.
In a phone interview with The Independent, Faraj added: “Turkey at the beginning of its operation tried to delude people by saying that it is fighting isis, but actually they are training isis members and sending them to Afrin.”
isis terrorists are joining the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Turkish-army invasion force.
From the point of view of Turkey, the recruitment of former isis combatants means that it can draw on a large pool of professional and experienced killers. Another advantage for Turkey is that they are not Turks, so if they suffer serious casualties this will do no damage to the Turkish government.
Faraj says that Turkish commanders have discouraged isis from using their traditional tactics of extensive use of suicide bombers and car bombs at Afrin because this would make the isis-Turkish cooperation more obvious.
