What would be their purpose in narrating such events?
What would be their purpose?
You could say the Mujahadeen are exaggerating their successes in the battle, likewise the Israelis themselves exaggerating the number of Mujahadeen they have killed. That is a common war tactic used in all sides during battles. In order to boost the morale of their own fighters, and demoralise the enemy.
But I have never heard of an enemy, actually exaggerating or concocting stories, of their own humiliation in battle.
As for the Nusrah of Allah. We have many eye witness accounts in the wars in Afghanistan and in Bosnia. Where the enemy narrated incidents of a strange super-natural fighters descending from the skies to attack them and ALLAH knows best.
