Syria: Dozens Of Rival Islamist Rebels Were Killed By The Islamist State Of Iraq

According to the unnamed activist, About 70 bodies, most shot in the head, were collect and sent to the Raqqa National hospital.

He also said that, “Many of those executed had been wounded in the fighting. The fact that Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham are ideologically similar to the ISIL did not matter,”

According to the activists, “The Islamist State of Iraq and the Levant has killed dozens of rival Islamist rebels in Syria over the last couple of days as the Al-Qaeda-linked group regained most of the territory it lost in the northeastern Raqqa province,”

Reuters quoted activists as saying, “Up to 100 rebel fighters from the Nusra Front, another Al-Qaeda-linked group, and Ahrar al-Sham brigade were executed after being captured by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the town of Tel Abiad, on the border with Turkey,”

The in-fighting between rebel groups and ISIL intensified over the past week. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated on Saturday that at least 482 people were killed since the fighting between moderates and mainstream rebel factions versus ISIL intensified on January 3.

According to the opposition, “Nusra Front’s commander for Raqqa province Abu Saad al-Hadram was among the militants killed over the weekend,”

According to the Fajar, “The rebels lack the organization and the firepower to win. It will be difficult to defeat ISIL without military strikes from someone like Turkey,”

He said, “”Many did not see a point in fighting their own relatives. ISIL is now in control of 95 percent of Raqqa and its rural environs. Tel Abyad is also back with it,”

According to the SANA report on Sunday, “In the meantime, 29 terrorists have been killed by the government forces in the Damascus countryside, “

According to the Narwani, ““Recently we’ve been hearing a change in the discourse whether in fact Assad might be in fact better than some of the extremists we are seeing on the ground now,”
