Powerful pro-gov’t force vows to capture SDF-held areas in Deir Ezzor
|
[ALMASDARNEWS] The powerful pro-government paramilitary unit, al-Baqir Brigade, has vowed to capture the territories controlled by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in eastern Deir Ezzor.
In the video, one of the commanders of the al-Baqir Brigade, Fadi al-’Afays, says in the presence of a Russian soldier that his forces are ready to attack and capture these territories from the SDF.
The Syria-based al-Watan publication released a similar report on Sunday that reiterated the claim about the supreme commander of the al-Baqir Brigade, Sheikh Nawaf al-Bashir, heading to Deir Ezzor from Damascus in the coming days.
The al-Baqir Brigade is one of the most powerful factions in the Iranian-backed Local Defense Forces (LDF); they have participated in several operations alongside the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), including the offensives in Aleppo and southern al-Raqqa.
Many of the al-Baqir Brigade’s early operations took place in the Aleppo Governorate; this is due to the large number of al-Baggara (var. al-Baqqara, al-Bakkara) rustics that are currently part of this paramilitary group.
However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
unlike the pro-government National Defense Forces (NDF), the al-Baqir Brigade and many LDF units work closely with the Iranian troops and Hezbollah, which is one of the reasons for their strong antipathy for the U.S.-backed groups and western-led Anti-ISIS
 ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
Coalition.
It is worth noting that the al-Baqir Brigade has threatened the U.S.-backed forces in Syria on a number of occasions; however, these factions have rarely come to blows in Syria.
