New rebel group wages war on ISIS in Latakia countryside


   Suqour al-Sahel brigade has joined the Islamist rebels in their war on Al Qaeda splinter, the State of Iraq and Al Sham, it said in video statement seen by Zaman Alwasl.

Saeed Tarboush, leader of the rebel group that based in Syria's costal area, has addressed the ISIS militants in Latakia countryside to give up fighting otherwise will face killing.

ISIS controls many areas in Akrad Mountain as villages of al-Najjiya, Bdama, Salma and Ghassaniy.

Suqour al-Sahel has rocked a barrack for ISIS on the highway between Aleppo and Latakia.

While ISIS was once welcomed by rebels battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, excessive abuses by the group turned much of the opposition against them.  It has alienated many civilians and opposition activists, however, by imposing harsh rulings against dissent in areas it controls, such as beheadings.

More than 1,800 people, mostly fighters, died in January fighting between rebels and ISIS, since three massive rebel alliances declared war against ISIS month ago.

 Syria's nearly three-year conflict began as popular protests against four decades of Assad family rule but changed into armed insurgency under a security force crackdown.

Now the major Arab state is in a full-scale civil war that has killed more than 136,000 people and forced over 6 million - more than a quarter of the population - to flee their homes.
