Audio is terrible until about 2 minutes. Then it gets louder but not better. Not really legible without headphones.

for what its worth, Wrath of Olives is an openly YPG operation; the videos of assassinations etc. are released directly from the YPG press office - there is another guerilla outfit operating in afrin who claim to not be affiliated with YPG however
