Press Release
A Terrible Massacre Committed by American Warplanes and its Coalition against the Civilians Rights in Manbaj
(Translated)

Revealing its true face toward the Muslims in Ash Sham, and in an effort to break their will and deflect them from their resolve to move forward in the blessed revolution seeking to topple the criminal Assad regime its (US) agent. So, at dawn Tuesday, US aircrafts committed a new appalling massacre in the village of Tokhar north of the city of Manbaj, eastern countryside of Aleppo, claiming the lives of dozens of civilians, including women and children under the pretext of fighting ISIS. In addition to the large number of injured, where five entire families were killed, in addition to the rest of the victims. News agencies reported that "most of the more than 160 civilian martyrs, were children and women who died as a result of several US strikes targeted at the village of Tokhar Kabir in north Manbaj, before dawn today." Yesterday, the city Manbaj also witnessed the killing of 23 civilians, as a result of residential neighborhoods in the city, exposed to raids from the international crusader coalition aircrafts. Inside the city more than 100 thousand civilians are trapped.

The crime against the rebellious people of Al Sham is unprecedented. Not only at the hands of the criminal regime, which imposes a deadly siege on a lot of the liberated areas and bombard with various types of weapons and trying to break into Darya and besieged Aleppo. But even by the hands of the masters from the West, led by America, its agents and its followers, who participate in his crimes by bombing the civilians directly, and giving him the green light and even blessing what he is doing...

And only in order to take revenge on the sons of this revolution, who revolted against the injustice of their agent tyrant of Sham and raised their voices chanting (will not kneel only to Allah), and try to subjugate them to US solutions and distort their revolution from achieving its goals and steadfastness, using the fight against terrorism as a pretext, however they and the criminal system are the nascence and manufacturers of terrorism.

Dear patient steadfast ones on every inch of the land of Sham, the abode of Dar Al Islam:

May Allah accept your steadfastness and sacrifices, so do not be saddened by the prolonged revolution and the severity of the siege, because this is but a test from Allah, and to destroy your enemies.

(وَلِيُمَحِّصَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَمْحَقَ الْكَافِرِينَ)

“And that Allah may purify the believers [through trials] and destroy the disbelievers.” [Al-i-Imraan: 141]

And do not let America deceive you with the deception of friendship and support of the revolution and the revolutionaries. These massacres, in addition to its (US) silence towards the massacres of the regime and Russia, and Iran, and its party and its militias, exposes its lies and deception. Do not listen to their agents and followers, but cut off all their feeble ropes and unite your ranks and obey your Lord by holding on to the solid rope. And know victory is but an hour of patience, and that the most difficult hours of the night are the darkest, and darkness precedes the dawn. And believe in the promise of Allah the Almighty of victory and consolidation.

)وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ * إِنْ يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِثْلُهُ وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنْكُمْ شُهَدَاءَ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ(

“So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers. If a wound should touch you - there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers -” [Al-i-Imraan: 139-140]

(وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ)

“and helping the believers is ever incumbent on Us.” [Ar Rum: 47]
