—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷/🇸🇾 BREAKING: A newly formed Islamic Resistance group (possibly Iran-backed) has taken responsibility for the attack on IDF forces in Quneitra, Syria

The group, calling itself the 'Islamic Resistance Front in Syria', likely consisting of Syrian Shiites, uploaded the following statement:

'The clashes between the resistance fighters and the enemy forces that penetrated the village of 'Tarnajah' in the northern Quneitra countryside have stopped, and they withdrew from the area under supportive fire cover and reconnaissance aircraft.

The resistance fighters withdrew to their positions safely and victoriously with the help and grace of God.'

— 🇮🇱/🇸🇾 NEW: ALMA, an Israeli military think tank, seems to agree that the group is, in fact, real.

It was likely formed as an armed off-shoot of the SSNP and other former Syrian government loyalists, in addition to Syrian Shia Muslims.
