The Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham has finally done what Jihadi groups have been fantasizing over. They have declared the restoration of the Caliphate with al-Baghdadi as the Caliph. They are calling on all Muslims to pledge loyalty to the Caliphate.
Things are getting interesting.
Israel retaliates against Syrian targets in response to an attack that killed a 14 year old boy.
Targets hit by Israeli forces included a Syrian Army command post; missile originally fired from Syrian territory through the border fence, kills 14 year-old Israeli son of Defense Ministry contractor.
The Israeli jets and artillary “Tamuz” missiles struck nine targets belonging to the Syrian military early on Monday, in response to a cross-border missile attack which killed an Israeli boy and injured two men on Sunday.The targets included command posts and Syrian firing positions, the IDF said. “We identified accurate strikes on the targets,” it added. The IDF said Sunday’s missile attack is a “most serious provocation, which comes after a series of terror attacks in recent months on the IDF in the border region in general, and in this area in particular.”
In a huge blow to Iranian interest, the radical Sunni group the Islamic State of Iraq an al-Sham seized the Iraqi city of Mosul.
BEIRUT — Insurgents seized control early Tuesday of most of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, including the provincial government headquarters, offering a powerful demonstration of the mounting threat posed by extremists to Iraq’s teetering stability.
Fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), an al-Qaeda offshoot, overran the entire western bank of the city overnight after Iraqi soldiers and police apparently fled their posts, in some instances discarding their uniforms as they sought to escape the advance of the militants.
Iraq’s speaker of parliament, Osama Nujaifi, said the city that ranks as the capital of northern Iraq is now entirely in insurgent hands.
Let these savages kill each other.
Just when you think you have seen it all in Syrian such as an alliance of al-Qaeda and Syrian Nazis under the guise of Nusra, this video will really through you in a loop. Some websites were claiming these were Mexican gang-bangers fighting in Syria. After some quick research, it turns out the two clowns in the video are Armenian-Syrian gang-bangers who were deported an are now fighting for a Pro-Assad Armenian militia in the Aleppo region.
Here is the Facebook of one of the Armenian gang-bangers by the name of Wino Ayee Peeyakan who is a member of the Armenian Power gang. The other is an Armenian member of the the Surenos Gang from LA. In Hispanic gangs there are members who are Italian, Filipinos, French-Canadian, Greek, Serbian or Armenian due to cultural affinity. There are even Irish or Polish members of Hispanic gangs due to the shared Catholic religion.
Here is a read on the support Assad has from Armenians in Syria.
A quick search turned up that these two gang members were not Mexican. I don’t understand why right leaning websites do not do research on stories before they publish them. These inaccurate claims are damaging the credibility of rightwing sites and I advise people to take what you read now on conservative sites with a grain of salt.
