"With the help of Allah, we shall restore the days of the rural area south of Aleppo, and they will be massacred in this area," he said. HTS claimed responsibility for downing the Russian SU-25 fighter jet earlier that day.

Saudi Jihadi Cleric in Syria ‘Abdallah Al-Muhaysini: "[The Russian plane was downed] thirty seconds ago. You can see over there the plane of the Nusayris and of the Russians. It was downed by Allah.

'Abdallah Al-Muhaysini: "Allah Akbar. All glory be to Allah. Today the mujahideen are united. All power to Allah. Those planes will be to no avail.
