This video shows a man presenting himself as part of the Military Commands Operation, speaking in an overtly sectarian manner. Interestingly, the video seems to have been shared only by an account eager to amplify anything that casts HTS in a negative light.

Several elements raise suspicions: the flag in the background, his slurs against Alawites and Shia, his accent, gadgets look like toys, and his mention of the FSA, an entity that no longer exists in any meaningful capacity. All of this suggests the video may be staged to inflame tensions.

This highlights the urgent need for a centralised military command where all factions are dissolved, and no one is allowed to speak on behalf of government forces without proper authority. This would expose fake videos by making them stand out more clearly.
