Arabic term or phrase: وبينهم وبين
Hi everyone,

I'm confused if this is a typo?

It's from a Syrian text talking about how Daesh came into Syria, but that when they left then an internal revolution broke out.

...لكن بفي الطابع الإسلامي في بعض قرى إدلب، نشأت ثورة داخلية بين فلول الإسلاميين والجيش الحر من جهة وبينهم وبين التيار العلماني السلمي من جهة أخرى

I'm confused who is against whom? So an internal revolution between the remnants of the Islamists and the Free Army on the one hand, and then between the secular Islamic current/trend and who else?

The structure وبينهم وبين is confusing me here. Is it between the Free Army and the secular Islamists?

Thank you for your help!

Can't really confirm that all arties are in conflict or whether two parties have rallied against the third. The references I have checked are not conclusive.

Actually even the source text is not conclusive in this respect, so rendering it as it is shouldn't be a priblem or so it seems to me at least.
