The Military Security and Police Command at the Ministry of Defense acknowledged on January 20 that its fighters had committed violations during the last week, so fighting “despite the clear directives and instructions that were circulated to all relevant units and entities.” SDF-US Discussions: SDF Commander Mazloum Abdi held “productive and constructive” discussions with US officials in Erbil on January 22 about the SDF’s integration into the Syrian state.

Not to forget to thank and show love for our Israeli Druze brothers and sisters, whom we as Jews love and appreciate so much 💙 If you can’t see that this is G-d’s work uniting us more than ever, then I don’t know what that can be! May G-d bless Am Yisrael 🇮🇱💙 and Bani Marouf 🇸🇨 — the only ones fighting ISIS! Of course, not to forget the suffering of the Christians, Alawites, Druze, Kurds, Yazidis and other minorities living under ISIS control, being killed slowly while nobody is doing anything about it because of the Saudi and Qatari funding. #Israel #Druze #AmYisraelChai #BaniMarouf #StopISIS #MiddleEast #SyrianWar #MinorityRights
