Watchdog: Jihadist al-Nusra chief wounded near Damascus
 Al Arabiya with AFP - The leader of the powerful jihadist rebel force, al-Nusra Front, was wounded by army bombing near the Syrian capital on Wednesday, a watchdog said.
Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani was wounded with other members of his group in southern Damascus province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, citing militants in the area.
Choose your enemy: Assad or Israel?
 Abdulrahman al-Rashed - Al Arabiya - There is no need to support either. When Israel attacks the Syrian regime, it does so because it aims to defend its security and interests.
And the same goes for us when we were happy that Israel attacked Assad's forces and warehouses because the attack will speed up the collapse of the regime.
