Battalions of rebels in the countryside of Daraa expelled "Al Muthanna Movement", affiliated to ISIS, outside the towns of Jalin, Al-Shaykh Saad, and Al Tira, where some members of the movement escaped to the regions held by "Al Yarmouk Martyr" brigade.
There is a direct coordination between Assad's regime and ISIS against the rebels, where the regime has turned a blind eye to ISIS advances in Al-Lajat region in the northern countryside of Daraa, and Beer Al Kasab in the desert of Al-Suwayda Governorate, according to field sources from the rebels in Daraa.
The deputy commander of Fajir Altawheed of the southern front "Abou Muhammed" said that "there is a clear accord between ISIS and Assad's regime, where the regime paved the way for ISIS to seize control over Beer Al Kasab, while the latter helped the regime to stabilize his tumbling situation at Genève negotiations". He wondered "why is the regime not targeting ISIS sites in Houash Hammad in Al-Lajat region and his strongholds in Al Yarmouk basin.
He also noted that the "cultural atmosphere in the south of Syria is not appropriate for spreading extremist ideas in Daraa and Qunaytirah". He reiterated that "ISIS control has dramatically diminished in each of Daraa and Qunaytirah, especially after the latest military campaign", where ISIS control receded into Al Yarmouk basin reaching the Palestinian-Jordanian borders".
"Suleiman Qaddah", the field commander of Fallujah Horan squad confirmed in an interview with Baladi News that "Assad's regime and ISIS are working to extinguish the Syrian Revolution, citing the battle of Al-Shaykh Maskin, where Al Muthanna gangs of ISIS handed over the rearguard of the 82 brigade and Al Niraan battalion to the regime forces who has helped the latter in seizing control over the city.
Al Qaddah stressed that the area controlled by ISIS in Daraa and Qunaytirah reduced to half, explaining that the inner circle of ISIS leaders were killed in clashes with the rebels, including "Abu Issa's Hattab", a senior leader of "Al-Muthanna movement".
ISIS seizes control over the towns of Sahem, Tasil, and Edwan, in addition to the towns of Al Yarmouk basin villages.
The countryside of Daraa governorate is constantly witnessing clashes between rebels and factions of ISIS, which have recently increased after the advancement of ISIS in the governorate countryside and the carrying out of assassinations against rebels' leaders.
