"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Tiger Forces Capture Jazal Gas Fields; Colonel Suheil Al-Hassan Returns to East Homs- Al-Masdar News

Moments ago, the Syrian Arab Army’s “Tiger Forces” – in coordination with Liwaa Suqour Al-Sahra (Desert Hawks Brigade) and the 67th Brigade of the 18th Tank Division – imposed full control over the Jazal Gas Fields after a series of intense firefights with the militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) in the eastern countryside of the Homs Governorate.
According to a military source in the Homs Governorate, the Tiger Forces and their allies now control both the Jazal Gas Fields and the town of Jazal, leaving only the main road to the ancient city of Palmyra (Tadmur) under the possession of ISIS; if the Syrian Armed Forces can capture this road, they will have a clear path to the city of Palmyra from the northern flank at Al-‘Amariyah.
In a surprise transfer, the Syrian Arab Army’s Central Command has redeployed the leader of the Tiger Forces – Colonel Suheil Al-Hassan – to the eastern Homs front, where his soldiers – under the command of Captain Lu’ayy Al-Sleitan – have remained since many of the Tiger Forces’ soldiers were sent to the Idlib Governorate in April of this year.
Colonel Suheil Al-Hassan has a lot of experience in the desert area of Syria, as he originally led the counter-offensive against ISIS at the Al-Sha’ar Mountains (Jabal Al-Sha’ar) in September 2014.
