June 10th marked a day of loss for the al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is carrying out a shelling operation on Jabal al-Zawiya in the southern Idlib countryside. Russian support is carrying out airstrikes.
Abu Khaled al-Shami, the official spokesman for HTS was killed in the town of Ablin.
As a result of today’s pinpoint strike, in addition to Abu Khaled al-Shami, another high-ranking member of the HTS terrorist group, Abu Musab al-Khomis, was liquidated. He was in charge of coordinating the HTS cooperation with the media.
The commander of the internal security in HTS Moataz al-Nasser was also killed.
7 other unnamed militants were also eliminated.

A day before, a Russian service member was killed and three others were wounded in a landmine blast in northeastern Syria. A large-scale operation of the SAA and Russian forces seems to be a response to the death of a Russian soldier, as well as frequent ceasefire violations by HTS and other militant groups in Idlib.
In total, more than 20 air strikes were inflicted on the settlements of Fatira, Ain-Lapuz, Muzapa, Maapata, Khaluba and Majdaliya in the Jabal al-Zawiya region in the south of the Syrian province of Idlib.

Tolerate? They invited them there. How long is Russia going to pretend it’s Syria’s ally, is the more apt (and inconvenient) question don’t you think?
Russian Fed is allied with both . So the mission is to stop the war among the two allied countries .
