HTS Leader Abu Muhammad Al-Joulani in pep talk to fighters on the Idlib Front: We are not defeated, Jerusalem awaits us
In a video released by Amjad Visual Production, a media group affiliated with Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), HTS leader Abu Muhammad Al-Joulani is shown speaking words of encouragement to a few dozen fighters in the field.
In the six-minute video, titled "Confident Of Allah's Victory," Al-Joulani says: "We are not at a moment of defeat" and promises the men: "Allah willing, we will reach not only Damascus. Jerusalem awaits us as well." The video was released on January 27, 2018, two days before the first anniversary of the founding of HTS.
