“Everyone is watching and witnessing the mobilization of the regime forces and Iranian militias with Russian support in northern and eastern Hama with the aim of launching an attack on the liberated areas in northern Syria. We need each fighter and rebel to confront the regime forces and Iranian militias and thwart their schemes,” he said.
Captain Maarati clarified that Jaish al-Izza’s internal system welcomes any and all fighters to join them. “Our doors are open to all for us to become one hand defending the principles of the revolution that we came out for with the aim of overthrowing the regime in all its symbols and protecting civilians from the terror of the Iranian and al-Assad militias and to achieve freedom for all Syrians which ensures their dignity,” he said.

Our aim is to work together with all the opposition fighters for us to be in one trench together and stand together as one man in the face of this regime which has destroyed humans and stone and displaced women and children.”
The fighters of the city of Homs left the city in mid-2014 as part of the systematic displacement process adopted by the regime forces. The process aims at emptying these cities of their people with an aim to change the demography of these cities especially Homs and Damascus.
