“The rebel gains in Deraa were probably exaggerated in significance. Once the army takes over the last two districts in Homs they would free up a lot of soldiers to finally take Hama which would free up more soldiers. So we are going to see MAJOR offensives by the Syrian army in coming days in Damascus, Homs, Hama and Aleppo. Deraa will stay stagnat enough for the syrian soldiers to reinforces their comrades are push back the rebels to the jordanian border. The syrian army is not going to give the takfiri scums any space for them to transport weapons and foreign takfiris into the country. ”
The Muhajireen Army, a group of jihadists closely tied to al Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, the Al Nusrah Front, claimed it shot down a Syrian Army helicopter in Aleppo using what appears to be an SAM-7 surface-to-air missile.
The claim, which is backed by a video [above], was made on FISyria, a Russian website that has been releasing propaganda for the Muhajireen Brigade. The video was published on the FISyria website as well as on YouTube. A fighter is seen shouldering the weapon, then firing on a helicopter, which does appear to have been hit.
At the end of the video the shooter says, in accented English, “I shoot it.”
The cameraman responses in nearly perfect English, “Really?”
“Yes, yes.” the shooter says.
“It’s falling down,” the cameraman then says.
According to a translation of the statement accompanying the posting, the group said that while the Free Syrian Army claimed credit for shooting down the helicopter, the FSA does not have the capability to do so.
Propaganda from the Muhajireen Army, which does not have an official media outlet or website, has been published on FISyria. Just two days ago, the group claimed credit for two suicide assaults against the airport in Aleppo. In one of the attacks, the group used a BMP armored personnel carrier to detonate a suicide bomb on the base.
The Muhajireen Army is led by a Chechen known as Abu Omar al Chechen and has a significant number of fighters from Russia’s Caucasus region as well as Europe.
HOWEVER: It appears that this propoganda video is in fact merely propoganda: the audio seems to be overdubbed at the point in which emphatic yelling begins. The audio appears to be recorded indoors, and the video shows no signs that the helicopter was actually hit.

The Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant, al Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, claimed it launched two suicide assaults and other attacks with Syrian rebel groups, including an Islamist unit and two Free Syrian Army brigades.
The Al Nusrah Front made the claims in a series of statements released on June 27 by its official media outlet, the Al-Manara Al-Baydha’ Foundation. The statements were obtained and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.
The attacks were carried out in conjunction with the Nasser Salahuddin Brigade, an Islamist group from the Syrian Islamic Liberation Front, and the Dera’ al Assima, Liwa al Habib al Mustafa, and Liwa’ al-Tawhid, three Free Syrian Army brigades that operate in Damascus.
The Al Nusrah Front said the two suicide assaults took place “in Eastern Ghouta in the countryside of Damascus” on April 22. Al Nusrah Front suicide bombers targeted two “barriers,” or outposts, with explosives-packed cars.
“That was in order to open the way for the storming lions of the Al Nusrah Front and the Nasser Salahuddin Brigade to raid the two barriers and comb them,” the statement said, according to SITE. The Al Nusrah Front claimed that “more than 150 soldiers” were killed and two tanks were destroyed in the operation.http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2013/06/al_nusrah_front_clai_14.php#ixzz2Xep17v3k
