Abu Mohammed al-Golani, leader of the Islamist rebel alliance that has captured swaths of Syria in a lightning offensive… Golani for years operated from the shadows. Now, he is in the limelight, giving interviews to the international media and appearing on the ground in Syria’s second-largest city Aleppo after wresting it from government control for the first time in the country’s civil war.
…
In 2021, he told US broadcaster PBS that his nom de guerre was a reference to his family roots in the Golan Heights, claiming that his grandfather had been forced to flee after Israel’s takeover of the area in 1967 during the Six Day War.
Oh.
I had hoped it was the Golani brigade. Never mind then…
At least Jews took some more of the Golan, right?
Yeah, but it’s officially temporary until the regime can pretend they found a “peace partner”. Let’s pray their evil designs fail!
