    How the heck is this possible!?!
    Why is neither Israel nor Jordan helping the FSA to eradicate these ISIS-affiliates from their border?!

    ...rather amazingly, if not targeting the Jaysh an-Nasr/FSyA, this one might have hit the Liwa al-Aqsa...

    (Note: I made error while using 'Jund al-Aqsa' and naming Liwa al-Aqsa's Jihadists 'Chechens' until quite recently.

    Actually, Liwa al-Aqsa is a Qatari-supported outfit consisting of all sorts of thugs, primarily those from Western Europe. It was founded and seems to be led by Abu Abdul-Azziz al-Qatari', a Palestinian that fought with Zarqawi in Iraq before being sent to Syria to help Jolani with Nusra, back in 2012.

    In comparison, the main Chechen group in Syria used to be Jaysh al-Muhajireen wa'l Ansar. This split into four groups during the insurgent counteroffensive on Daesh, in late 2013 and early 2014:

    - Omar ash-Shishani joined the Daesh with majority of the group;

    - Sayfullah ash-Shishani joined the Nusra and was then killed in attack on the Aleppo Central Prison;

    - Sallahaddin ash-Shishani led the remnants until forced to leave, and these joined Nusra, in 2015, as Liwa al-Muhajireen, which remains 'Russian staffed' until today. Sallahaddin then formed the Jaysh al-Usrah, which is still a part of the Nusra/JFS/HTS.

    - Muslim ash-Shihani's Jund ash-Sham was meanwhile destroyed by Ahrar ash-Sham.)
