“Adnan al-Janabi did not reach Jurf and will not reach it. … Only terrorist families have not returned to Jurf al-Nasr.”
عدنان الجنابي ما واصل للجرف ولا راح يوصلها … العوائل الارهابية هي فقط من لم ترجع الى جرف النصر
The two official networks aired opposite local-control frames on Jurf access, residency, and enlistment rather than a shared line.
