One Christian man(Syrian) who was engaged in fighting jihadists and head choppers has just been laid to rest. “Brigadier General Khalil Issa Ibrahim, Commander of 2nd battalion, 136th Brigade -Martyred at Shuayrat Airbase”

RIP soldier. He died in the field. Killed in a US air strike ... how does this happen?
