Syrian general issues clarification statement about refugees

Major General Issam Zahreddine recorded a voice note on Monday to clarify a statement he made on a video late last week in regards to Syrian refugees.

The prominent Syrian general was accused by western and pro-opposition publications of threatening to kill any refugee that returned to Syria.

However, General Zahreddine clarified his stance on Monday, stressing that he meant all those who took up arms against the army are not welcome back to Syria.
