Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Golan Regiment
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) It shall convey the gravity and radical nature of the defection of a rebel faction that had vowed to destroy the Assad government. The foundation of the Golan Regiment has been regarded as exceptional, as it was the first pro-government unit of the Syrian Civil War that was formed by former rebels. In this way, the unit's past as rebel group has a high military and propaganda value for Assad.[1][2] The truth and effect of this defection is only difficult to convoy by text, especially if one considers how drastic the ideological turn of the group was: In the video, they call the government "corrupt", accuse it of murdering civilians and "violating" Syria for decades, and claim that its followers are "thugs" and "mercenaries".[3]
