In Syria, part of the Syrian Arab Army wants to continue fighting.
Former officers and soldiers of the 25th Division of the SAA Special Forces (Tiger Forces) have gathered in mountainous areas near the Lebanese border, vowing to continue fighting.
They say they have been fighting terrorists for years and will continue to do so, despite the "betrayal" of the SAA high command. They will start fighting as resistance groups to the new HTS/SNA government.
The commander in the video says they are ready to sacrifice themselves, he even says they have suicide bombers among them and the last bullet from his pistol will be for his head (he will not let himself be captured).
They also replaced their chant. Instead of saying, “Our souls, our blood, we sacrifice for Bashar,” they now say, “Our souls, our blood, we sacrifice for Syria.”
According to most reports, the SAA’s 25th FSM was one of the only units in the Syrian Arab Army that actually resisted HTS in the early days, especially in Hama, alongside a small contingent of Iranian-backed fighters.
When Homs was about to be attacked, Hezbollah reportedly sent a few thousand fighters into the city in the dead of night.
For some unknown reason, the SAA high command quickly gave them instructions, asking them to hand over all their positions to the SAA and move Hezbollah to the rear with the SAA’s 25th FSM.
They didn’t know why, but of course they obeyed the order.
When their positions were handed over to the regular SAA units, they immediately abandoned them and withdrew, in accordance with orders.
That's when things became clear, Hezbollah and the SAA's 25th SMF realized that this was a rigged game, that there was no intention to fight, obviously due to a decision from a higher level, so the 25th SMF was demobilized and dispersed to the outskirts of various regions of Syria, especially in the western coastal region and the Lebanese border, and Hezbollah also returned to Lebanon.
