A Defensive War The leader of national defense in Mhardeh, Simone who is called Abu Fahd has not been exhausted by al-Nusrahs repeated attempts to topple the city where some 17 thousand Christians live. He tells an-Nahar that the city will not fall, with Gods permission. He believes that the defensive war that the people of the city are conducting side-by-side with the Syrian Army is a battle for existence in the fullest sense. He does not hesitate to say that we will not be a second Maaloula and we will certainly not permit our fate to be like that of the people of Mosul. Martyrdom on this land is one hundred times better than whetting the sympathy of the international community in order to fight ISIS or to stay alive. Perhaps this is because the Islamist fighters insist that toppling this region is no less important than toppling Maaloula in order to score points against the Syrian regime by showing that it is incapable of protecting the Christians who stand with it and regard it as their protector.
