They're not Assad linked. They're fighting against the almost daily extra judicial murders and violence against the alawite minority in the coast.
Assad is gone.
Very weird how they pulled the former head of air-force intelligence out of these groups then. I would say it's an isolated case if this didn't happen every time they combed the area after an ambush. Will you still think the same of these fighters when Suhail Al-Hassan is caught among their ranks and no suspicions are left?
You're speaking about Ibrahim houija. That guy was head of air force intelligence in the 80's and 90's. Do research before believing propaganda.
He was a captain in the 70's (1987 is when he became head of air-force intelligence) to 2002 and he's accused of carrying out assassinations in Syria and Lebanon, including assassinating the Lebanese PFP leader, Kamal Junblat. The Air-force intelligence also partook in the Hama massacre of 1982.
I am hoping that his trial will be fair and that no harm will befall him unless he's actually convicted.
There are others who were part of the fourth division specifically, currently hiding or fighting in Lattakia.
Thanks for pasting excerpts from Wikipedia and confirming what I said, but what exactly is your point now? How does this relate to this group being an assadist group and not alawites putting an end to the daily murders of their people?
I would appreciate if you lead with your point / argument then justify it.
Not one letter of what I "pasted" is from Wikipedia. In fact there's not an article about this guy.
Anyways my point here is that pro-Assad forces are fighting in Syria and while I don't know what the people of the Sahel think of the government, it doesn't seem like this is just them suddenly deciding to stop the "extra judicial murders" which I am sure you have plenty of proof for.
This is the result of outside influence and is relying on criminals who either do this or get dragged to court is my point. I am not saying there are no Alawites who are so dissatisfied by the new government that they'd join such movements, but there wouldn't be enough of them to cause this much trouble without some outside help.
What does pro-Assad mean? Are they coordinating with him? They wanna put him back in power? What's your proof?
Or you mean they simply like him?
It's not sudden. This isn't the first act of resistance, but this is the most organized we've seen. They have been complaining for months about these killings.
There's certainly enough alawites armed or military trained to do this. They're more military trained than any other group ever since the French occupation days.
Good God your cruelty and hatred knows no bounds does it?
There are videos emerging of people's homes being invaded purely bc they are Alawites. There are videos of children being shot in the fucking face and bodies being piled up by the regime.
How long are you people going to deny that jolani is a monster? How many of those being executed in the streets are actually just people fighting to survive against a vile islamist terror regime and not part of some assad conspiracy?
How long are you and your terror sympathizing cult followers going to keep up this "assadist insurrection" narrative?
I know there were cases of sectarian attacks against Alawites and those happened after the armed groups attacked general security forces there and didn't come out of nowhere (that doesn't justify them). There's still so much hatred between Sunnis and Alawites, and when the attacks happened people from all around Syria mobilized to help the army. Many of them saw that as an opportunity to take revenge. The government stopped these mobilizations to majority Alawite areas, but their response was very late.
There are claims of security forces committing crimes and uploading videos of them, I have no doubt that such things could've happened, but all I've found is pictures of people who were allegedly executed. When this operation started a member of the army was arrested for sectarian chants and the government has promised to follow up on all the crimes committed during the operation.
I am not denying anything. Jolani headed terrorist group after terrorist group and his forces committed many crimes before their sudden rebrand. Since they overthrew Bashar their statements and actions have been moderate and they don't seem to be targeting or discriminating against any sects. A timeline for a new government and presidential elections give you some hope, but I may just be very delusional.
Until these ambushes and attacks stop being headed by the previous regime's officers (Who still boast about their crimes) and supported and instigated by Iran.
These aren't claims, they're on twitter for everyone to see.

Go through that user's entire posts and retweets and you'll see that they're not just fucking "claims" you worthless jihadi.
I know that all you want is to exterminate Christians, Alawites, Kurds, Druze, and literally any Muslim that never wanted your sharia shit hole sect in charge of Syria.
You probably live in the west, living under secularism where your rights and existence are defended. You are such a hypocrite. For some reason Muslims like you feel so ready to support fucking caliphates in the middle East but never want to live in the hellholes you advocate for. Not all or even most Muslims, but a significant minority as I've seen since these fascists have taken power.
If you're going to advocate and make up apologetics for religious fascism, then you should at least have the decency to leave whatever western state you're posting this nonsense from.
Can you imagine the burden whatever secular western state keeping your backwards ass is bearing? Why don't you go live in Syria, after all I'm sure jolani is going to solve this in no time and stop the evil Iranians causing Christians and Alawites to be fucking executed in the streets with their children!
Yeah, those are clear, I didn't deny that this could've happened, I understand there's still so much hatred between Sunnis and Alawites. I was following the links on the r/syria subreddit and most of the content was removed, the ones that weren't are just pictures of piled up bodies or straight up unrelated pictures (from Gaza, Ba'thist Syria, random people with made up stories).
In your typical Caliphate with Sharia law I'd probably have multiple sentences of stoning to death.
No.
🤣
I am gonna be living in the "hellhole" and I didn't advocate for this, unless advocating for the fall of the regime is what you're hinting at.
Your guesses are wrong, and I am gonna be living in Syria even with my home flattened and the areas around it scattered with mines.
My ass is oriented correctly, you can't convince me otherwise.
