    IT’S OVER: FSA Assault Syrian Army Position

    In this video, the Free Syrian Army (FSA) assaults a Syrian Army position. It appears there is a fixed position on the 2nd floor with personnel that just won’t allow themselves to be defeated. The FSA fires multiple machine gun barrages, rifle fire, and even several direct hit RPG shots.

    The war in Syria began in July, 2011, as a result of the Arab Spring in that country that started several months earlier. There are four major factions in the Syrian Civil War – the Syrian Government, the Opposition Government (includes Al Qaeda and the FSA), the Kurdish Force (includes YPG), and ISIS.  Each faction has taken over and controls a portion of Syria and there are rumors that Al Qaeda and ISIS are going to unite to give themselves a stronger joint position. Needless to say, this video is a perfect example of the realities on the ground and the combat that continues on a daily basis in Syria.

    VIDEO: Free Syrian Army Ambushes Syrian Tanks

    The ongoing ISIS movement and its repercussion from the coalition forces have been in the news for some time now and is a very controversial issue in America and in the Middle East today. The spotlight is on Islamic Terrorism and the Syrian Civil War. This video shows one tank being destroyed and another shot with most probably an RPG. This particular video is not ISIS in Iraq, but that of the Free Syrian Army attacking a Syrian government convoy back in 2012.

    Whatever may be the real case behind the scene, the scene sure is one of the rare real life shots captured related to the ongoing Syrian Civil War. The war began in 2011 as a chain reaction to the so called Arab Spring and now being led by the various groups within Syria and Iraq. ISIS, FSA and YPG are three of the major Middle Eastern factions, opposing the present Syrian government, that are involved in the war along with the intervention from the western coalition forces. ISIS is also against the government of Iraq and Iran, causing strange bedfellows. Nontheless, this video of tanks blowing up is great to watch.
