ISIS has recently struck tremendous blows against its enemies, from the Paris terror attacks, the bombing of a Russian plane above the Sinai Peninsula, to a bombing in Beirut.
However, ISIS is not only striking significant blows- it is also receiving them.
Al Qaeda recently sent a suicide bomber and took out the entire top command of ISIS for a region of Syria known as the Golan Heights
Al Nusra Front, the Syria affiliate of Al Qaeda, quickly took credit for the attack, calling the attack upon ISIS “heroic” on Twitter.
Al Nusra Front and ISIS, both radical Sunni Islamic factions, have been embroiled in not only a war against Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian regime, but also in a bitter war against each other.
Their conflict is most intense in southern Syria, where the Golan Heights are located.
Al Nusra Front, like ISIS, hopes to set up an Islamic state. Al Nusra, however, plans to confine its hope for an Islamic state to Syria, whereas ISIS hopes to control the entire Muslim world with a new caliphate.
Alex Fishman, a veteran military correspondent for Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot, said: “The Islamic State [ISIS], that controls the closest area to the Israel border in the Syrian Golan Heights, suffered a severe blow and lost its entire top command in the area in one fell swoop.”
The command oversaw a unit known as the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade, a key ISIS militia.
Fishman also stated: “It’s not unlikely that the deadly attack that took out the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade’s leadership in the area was actually a sign marking the end of ISIS control of the Golan.”
