A series of videos showing members of the al-Qaeda affiliate known as Huras al-Din captures Syrian troops being absolutely overrun. It appears as if the fighters are getting real-time drone intelligence from a command and signal element somewhere, as they're seen maneuvering through the regime positions with relative ease.

For the uninitiated, Huras al Din, also known as the Guardians of Religion, is a terror arm of al-Qaeda in Syria. They emerged into the scene around 2017, and are most known for conducting brutal combat operations in the Idlib region of Syria. Their primary objective is to establish an Islamic Caliphate that adheres to their specific brand of Sharia Law.

The video above was recorded in 2019.
