Nusra Front: US-led anti-IS coalition formed to defend Israel
Abu Muhammed al-Julani, the leader of al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, said the international coalition has wider aims than the fight against the Islamic State group.
He claimed that the US-led coalition, numbering more than 60 allies, was formed to protect Israel, an attempt to maintain President Bashar Assad's hold on Syria, and prevent more Europeans from being radicalized.
