On Thursday, military commander of the Hai’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorist coalition, Abu Jaber Hashem Al-Sheikh, announced a start of a “new battle” against the government army in the north-west of Syria. According to the Al Mayadeen TV-channel, he delivered a video message, in which he called to “mobilize all resources” to conduct the campaign.
It was the first time, when Al-Sheikh appeared in video, since the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (previously known as the al-Nusra Front) terrorist group united under its aegis all radical formations in Idlib province. According to Al Mayadeen, the Hai’at Tahrir al-Sham coalition includes terrorists from Nour al-Din al-Zenki, Jaysh al-Sunna, Jabhat Ansar al-Din and Liwa al-Haqq, which opposed the cease-fire.
All of them accused armed opposition groups, which took part in the negotiations in Astana on January 23-24, of “treason,” and managed to capture military bases of the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA), located to the west of the city of Aleppo, as well as to surround their former allies, terrorists of Ahrar al-Sham, to the south of Idlib and in the mountainous area of Jebel az-Zawiya on the border with Turkey.
In his statement, the leader of Hai’at Tahrir al-Sham announced his intention to “liberate the entire territory of Syria and inflict a crushing defeat to the troops.”
“We are starting to implement the plan to intensify military actions against the regime of [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad and will attack army’s positions and barracks,” he warned.
Syrian military experts believe that establishment of the Hai’at Tahrir al-Sham coalition is the third transformation of the al-Nusra Front, which is regarded to be a Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda since 2013. In July of the last year, its leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani changed the former name, the al-Nusra Front, on Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and announced separation from Al-Qaeda.
Future burnt corpses await their future. Another new terrorists group that will be killed.
First of all HTS need to deal with Jund Aqsa then move on.It will take some time
Drop a very big bomb on them, that will solve many problems.
I wish they’d stop changing names all the time, makes it hard to keep track of them. Just kill them all anyway, regardless of their branding.
