Axe, David. "Iran Transformed Syria's Army into a Militia That Will Help Assad Survive Another Year." Archived 16 February 2019 at the Wayback Machine Reuters. 16 December 2014. Accessed 16 March 2019. Excerpt: "In May, a rebel sniper killed Iranian General Abdullah Eskandari in battle near Damascus. Opposition fighters seized Eskandari's notebook and published its contents online, including a frank description of the Syrian army's "dissipation and disintegration" in Hama province in west-central Syria. It's safe to assume the army was in a similarly poor state in other provinces."
