RNA - The Israeli lawmaker specified that Israel is directly aiding the terrorist group in the battles on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, Anti-Neo Con Report news website reported.
The al-Nusra Front terror group has recently changed its name to Fatah al-Sham Front after splitting from Al-Qaida.
In a status posted on his Facebook page, Knesset Member Akram Hasson form Kulanu party claimed Fatah al-Sham Front is bombing the Druze village of Khadr with Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s support and protection.
Hasson said that since the weekend, the quiet village of Khadr near the Syrian border has been subject to persistent bombardments by Fatah al-Sham Front's militants.
“We have gotten information from all fronts and from people who are responsible within the village that the Nusra Front is operating with unprecedented support from Israel, because the organization’s fighters are advancing in those places where the Israeli Forces had previously bombed Syrian positions and the organization is holding those positions, in addition to the logistical and medical assistance it’s getting from Israel.”
Citing eyewitnesses, Hasson said that the Fatah al-Sham Front has advanced technological equipment that gives them an advantage over Assad’s forces. “To date dozens have fallen and the fighting continues, all with Israeli support,” he wrote.
“This new strategy led by Lieberman since he took office has strengthened the Fatah al-Sham and it’s raising its head to attack our brothers,” Hasson wrote.
He then issued a direct call to Lieberman.
“Lieberman, stop the support of the Fatah al-Sham Front immediately. It’s about time that we unite, and I call on all the MKs and the religious leadership headed by Sheikh Muwafaq Tarif to initiate an emergency meeting before our brothers in Khadr are slaughtered. There’s no time to wait.”
