Cutting the Regime's Supply Line (Extra Scene from 'The Battle for Syria's South')

In this extra scene from 'The Battle for Syria's South,' VICE News meets the commander of the Jisr al-Haran brigade and his men, where their mission is to attack all regime convoys and cut off the supply line to Daraa.

The FSA are fighting a bitterly hard battle under a virtual media blackout to change the course of Syria's civil war. If they can take Daraa, they will stand at the beginning of the road to Damascus, the seat of Assad's government.
