While the Syrian Observatory published hours ago, that it monitored that unidentified gunmen assassinated 2 fighters in the southern sector of Idlib countryside, where they were targeted at the entrance of Al-Hbit town, and they are members of the National Liberation Front, which caused their death, within a new episode of the assassinations which target citizens, fighters and commanders in several areas of the Syrian North, also this assassination comes less than 24 hours after a statement by the National Liberation Front through which it emphasized that it supports the Russian – Turkish agreement considering it “a great effort and obvious victory for the Turkish diplomacy”.

And the Syrian Observatory obtained yesterday, Saturday the 22nd of September 2018, a copy of Hurras al-Dien’s statement that says:

“The Jihad battlefield in the Levant is going these days, through a decisive and dangerous stage, where the forces of the international evil and infidelity joined to terminate the Jihadist Project in it, thus, they distributed the roles and shared the areas of influence and control, until the Sunnis in the Levant became like orphans on the tables of the mean, as after they have finished their step of using wiliness in which they have kept the areas of conflict aside, the regime, the Russians and the Shiite Militia separated the areas of the Sunnis one after another, and finally confined them in a narrow area in the north, all of this took place under the umbrella of decreasing the escalation and then they started successive steps starting with what they call fighting the terrorism, separating the moderate opposition from the terrorist opposition, demanding a buffer zone, and the disarmament in planned steps, in order to terminate this holy jihad”.

The statement added:

“In previous statements of us and in our meeting with the factions, we warned of this fate which now have been already reached, and we absolutely rejected that secretly and publicly, and we tried, according to our abilities and as possible, to get out of this situation but we could not do more than we did And Allah alone can be sought for help, and we in Hurras al-Dien, announce again our rejection to these conspiracies and all these steps, and we say, as the alive and dead commanders of Jihad said, that we have not fought and taken up arms to remove a tyrant to be replaced then by another tyrant but we have fought for the sake of Allah, and we warn of this great conspiracy and remind you of what happened in Bosnia in the disarmament agreement as after the Muslims handed over their weapons, the Serbs killed them before the forces of the United Nations and raped the women, and we advice our brothers Al-Mujahideen in this decisive and dangerous stage to return to Allah, hold themselves accountable and sincerely repent, then to rearrange the remaining power and abilities to cooperate depending on devotion and piety and start a military operation against the religion’s enemies which corrupts their plans and makes them cause their destruction, as Al-Mujahideen are advancing in their ways and neither those who opposed nor disappointed them will harm them”.

And it concluded the statement saying:

“We call on the sincere Mujahideen not to waste their jihad, their land or their weapons and to be aware of their enemies’ wiliness as they will only accept those who have been disengaged from their religion and jihad, and we call on sincere brothers in all of the Islamic countries to mobilize to the Levant and support people of the Levant, and we also call on those who have funds to spent their money for the sake of Allah and supporting the Shami Jihad as it is a duty over them to support Allah, his Messenger and those who are oppressed in the land, because the Levant is the stronghold of the believers, and we hope that our distinguished scholars and generous Sheikhs and those who have the foresight, experience and wisdom who were rubbed by experiments and who the Jihad and fighting tyrants and infidels became a part of their body and blood, to guide us and guide their sons and brothers Al-Mujahideen at this difficult stage and we consult them as they are the superiors and Ahl Al-Dhikr in which Allah enjoined us to refer to and ask them, and Allah also enjoined us to report and explain the judgments of his religion”.
