The Islamic Station affiliate “Jaysh Khaled bin Walid” released a promotional video on Tuesday evening that showcased their forces in the southwestern corridor of the Daraa Governorate.
In the Al-Amaq video below, dozens of Islamic State vehicles were filmed traveling down an unknown road in southwest Syria, while their other fighters ready themselves for an upcoming battle against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).

The Islamic State launched its first attack against the Syrian Arab Army in the Daraa Governorate town of Sheikh Miskeen on Tuesday.
As a result of this attack, the Syrian Army and National Defense Forces (NDF) sustained several casualties in their ranks.
Jaysh Khaled bin Walid’s attack against the Syrian Army comes just a week after the Syrian and Russian air forces launched several airstrikes on their positions near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights region.
The Syrian Army and Jaysh Khaled bin Walid have barely clashed during this seven year long war because the aforementioned terrorist group has been confined to a large pocket within the rebel-held areas of the Daraa and Al-Quneira governorates.
However, since the rebels agreed to handover Da’el, ‘Ibtaa and Tafas, the Syrian Army has reached the terrorist group’s front-lines in the Daraa Governorate.
