Accounts on “X” recently published a video clip showing a group of armed elements carrying a girl, with the claim that the video is of the capture of women by members of the Al-Nusra Front during the “Deterrence of Aggression” operation, “Al-Nusra Front captures, enslaves, and rapes women.”
Kashif verified the video via “Google Images” tool and found that it is old and the claim is misleading. The video was circulated in 2019 of the capture of a Kurdish fighter and not recently during the “Deterrence of Aggression” operation.
RT Arabic channel published the video on “X” on 25/10/2019, accompanied by the following description: “Video of Turkish-backed militants capturing a Kurdish female fighter in northeastern Syria.”
“ark nuce” channel also published the same video on YouTube on 25/10/2019, with the title “A female SDF fighter captured by armed factions affiliated with Turkey.”
“Enab Baladi” website published a report on 26/10/2019 that included the circulated video, along with a picture of the prisoner as well. The website explained that the video shows members of the “Majd Corps” affiliated with the Syrian National Army arresting a Kurdish fighter.
The opposition factions announced on Wednesday 27/11/2024 the start of military operation “Deterrence of Aggression.”
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Tuesday 3/12/2024 the start of an attack on seven villages under the control of the regime in the Deir Ezzor countryside, northeast of the country.
The official Syrian news agency (SANA) reported on Tuesday 3/12/2024 that “the Syrian regime army and its allied forces repelled an attack launched by forces affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) coalition on villages in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor.”
The Syrian opposition factions announced on 4/12/2024 that their forces were now at the entrances to the city of Hama in the center of the country from three axes, and that they had taken control of 18 villages and towns in the countryside of the province, becoming six kilometers away from the city of Hama, the center of the province.
