Jabhat al-Nusra is accounted for in the first column but I don't know if it's still accurate to lump them in with ISIS, if it ever was.

So now we have pro-Assad Hezbollah fighters who ambush rebel al-Nusra Front fighters. But al-Nusra is not as much anti-Assad as they are al Qaeda supporters who want to carve an Islamic state from parts of Syria and Iraq. Right?
