Channel 2 analyst Ehud Ya’ari says the Syrian rebels fighters around Quneitra are not al-Qaeda.

He says the rebels are operating in the UN-controlled area between Israel and Syria which was established in 1974. There are some fighters from the al-Nusra Front, which is al-Qaeda-affiliated, operating nearby.
