VIDEO: Largest Rebel Group Tearing down Syrian Opposition Flag in Aleppo

Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:58:22

Video footage from the northern Aleppo border-town of 'Azaz emerged on Monday, showing Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham tearing down the Syrian opposition's flag.

Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham has their own banner, as do their extremist allies; however, they are allegedly in an alliance with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) inside 'Azaz.

Considered the largest rebel group in Syria, Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham fights on almost every front against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), despite having a much larger presence in the northern part of the country.

Unlike Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham (formerly Al-Nusra Front), Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham is not considered a terrorist group by the United States, which leaves them safe from Coalition airstrikes, Almasdar reported.
