Syrian rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, better known as Abu Mohammed Jolani, said on Saturday that he is not interested in engaging in new conflicts, despite Israel’s seizure of a buffer zone in the occupied Golan Heights and its air force pummelling Syrian military positions with air strikes.
In a post on Telegram, Jolani said that Israel’s actions had “clearly crossed the disengagement line in Syria, which threatens a new unjustified escalation in the region”.
But, he added that “the general exhaustion in Syria after years of war and conflict does not allow us to enter new conflicts”.
You understand that they were at war for a long time before they managed to sweep Assad and his forces away, right?
The final sudden advance may have come virtually overnight, but they’ve been fighting since the Arab spring in 2011
There has been little fighting for the last year. It was a lightning assault.
