GoPro footage from a 2016 raid on Syrian Arab Army positions that was conducted by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham captures a knock-out gunfight between the two organizations. At one point in the footage, the recording HTS fighter is nearly killed by Syrian troops, and just a short minute later he guns down a retreating Soldier that is about 100 yard away from him.

This is being posted now because it's one of the rare instances of combat footage from pre-2017 Syrian that I don't immediately recall that also shows some significant combat being captured on film. If you're mainly here for Ukraine footage and don't know who HTS is, I highly recommend hitting the search bar in the top right hand corner of the screen and giving them a look. We've written a number of lengthy posts about the organization in the past.
