...Liwa al-Islam (Brigade of Islam) was established by Zahran Alloush, the son of Saudi-based religious scholar Abdullah Mohammed Alloush, after Syrian authorities released him from prison in mid-2011 where he had been serving time for his Salafist activism. The group claimed responsibility for carrying out the July 2012 Damascus bombing that killed Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, Deputy Defense Minister Asef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani. It was a driving force behind actions in the Damascus region. It cooperated and conducted joint operations with al-Nusra. In Sptember 2013 Saudi Arabia engineered Liwa al-Islam's merger with fifty other more or less Salafist groups as a counterweight to al-Nusra, which the Learned Elders of Islam considered was growing too powereful...(Army of Islam) attempted to take advantage of the fog around the East Ghouta region of rural Damascus on Sunday by launching another powerful assault along the Syrian Arab Army's (SAA) front-lines.

women are made to be loved, not understood...
this offensive did not go according to plan, thanks in large-part to the Syrian Arab Army's scouts that reported of Jaish al-Islam's movements around the village of Hawsh al-Dawahra.
According to an al-Masdar field correspondent in Damascus, the Syrian Arab Army's 105th Brigade of the Republican Guard carried out a successful ambush near the Hawsh al-Dawahra Farms on Sunday afternoon, killing and wounding a large number of Jaish al-Islam murderous Moslems.
As a result of this Syrian Army ambush, the Salafist tough guys of Jaish al-Islam were forced to frantically retreat to safety in order to avoid sustaining anymore casualties during today's battle.
Recently, Jaish al-Islam issued a call to all their fighters in the East Ghouta to help drive back the Syrian Armed Forces around this rural region east of Damascus; so far, it has been a disaster.
