NDF Hero Tells How He Chose to Throw Himself down a Mountain instead of Surrendering to Terrorists

This is an inspiring story told by a Syrian soldier, it's like that scene from 'Lone Survivor' where the Navy SEALs hurl themselves down a mountain to avoid capture by the Taliban. Similar circumstances, similar heroism, similar sacrifice.

A fighter in the ranks of the National Defense Forces (NDF), Yousef Haddad, tells his heroic story when he was left fighting against terrorists from the US-backed "Free Syrian Army" (FSA) and their al-Qaeda allies, Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front), on top of a mountain in Maaloula, when the militants invaded the historic Christian village. Running out of ammunition and co-fighters, he chose to throw himself down a mountain instead of surrendering, where he later got rescued by a unit of NDF and Syrian Army fighters.
