On Monday, we had toured the front lines with the fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces stationed a few meters from the strongholds of IS mercenaries in al-Sousa town. The leading martyr in the ranks of Syrian Democratic Forces, Hussein Dushka, was leading a group of fighters of heavy-armed, the fighters were waiting for nightfall to enter into battles against IS mercenaries in al-Sousa town.

"They are hitting our positions with mortars since the morning, why do not we respond to them? fighters wondered. "When the night falls, we will strike their positions." Martyr Hussein replied.

The martyr Hussein was always moving on the front fronts, the smile drawn on his lips, raising the morale and enthusiasm of his fighters involved in the front ditch opposite the mercenaries.

Hussein was skillful in the using of the Dushka weapons, so he had taken the name Hussein Dushka as a nom de guerre, known among many of the fighters in the front, his comrades pointed to a vehicle on which Dushka weapon was set, and said, "This weapon echoes at  the battle with the mercenaries," Martyr Hussein does not make mistakes in the target hit, he sent terror and anxiety in the mercenaries' hearts.

Before the night fell, Hussein had begun to hit the positions of the mercenaries with a number of mortar shells in response to their shelling, and to prepare the situation to enter al-Sousa town.

When we asked him for a statement about the fighting, a smile covered his face, he asked us that the statement should not exceed the permit for more than a minute because he wants to return to his gun and hit the dens of the mercenaries.

He said to ANHA agency "Yes, they use mines and bombs as a weapon to impede our progress. We are now about 1 kilometer from the positions of the mercenaries. There were clashes between us and the enemy. We liberated some of the points in which they were stationed, about 1.5 km remains to enter the town center. "

We does not target civilians

The leader of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Hussain Dushka, said that al-Sousa town is free of civilians and they were stationed in both the towns of al-Shafa and Hajin. "The sites of civilians are well known, so we did not and will not bomb them, neither by planes, nor with mortars, guns because the civilians who are besieged in these areas are our people and siblings.

We took a picture of him, asked him repeatedly to look at the camera, but he was looking at the other side.

The night fell and the fighters began to move towards the enemy strongholds. As every minute passed, the situation on the front grew more dangerous. Hussein asked us to move away from the places of engagement because they were dangerous.

After 20 minutes on our return from the front, Hussein Dushka received the honor of martyrdom from wounds sustained during the clashes with the mercenaries, during which the martyr Hussein, had drew the most heroic and resistance and redemption presenting his spirit as redemption of the land and defense of his people.
