Idlib impasse. Militants "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham" refused to leave the buffer zone
It is known that the NLF is a group supported by Ankara, and it was Turkey that held talks with its leaders, convincing those to withdraw military equipment to the interior of Idlib province in order to organize the very buffer zone on the province’s borders. Recall that the representatives of Ankara went to such a step after trilateral talks with Russia and Iran, which took place in Tehran. For its part, Russia dissuaded the CAA command to launch a full-scale offensive in Idlib.
However, it should be borne in mind that the withdrawal of the so-called National Liberation Front from the buffer zone still does not lead to the complete cleaning of this zone from militants. Thus, representatives of the terrorist group "Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham" (* banned in the Russian Federation) affiliated with Al-Qaeda * have already refused to go out and carry out the withdrawal of heavy equipment and other weapons. In Turkey they make it clear that she has no influence on this grouping.
In this regard, the likelihood of a military operation against terrorists who did not want to leave the buffer zone increases. In particular, a variant was previously considered, in which representatives of the Turkish military contingent will carry out the cleaning of the buffer zone in the event of refusal of certain militant groups to leave it.
Meanwhile, in the area of the Golan Heights, an action of local Druze, which supported Bashar al-Assad, was held. The action was held in the area of the fence separating the part of the Golan controlled by Damascus from the adjacent part, which Israel considers its own. Friends came to the border with portraits of the President of Syria.
And the night before, another episode of combat activity was demonstrated by the terrorists of the ISIL group *. Thus, a detachment of terrorists attacked the US-backed forces of the so-called Democratic Union of Syria in the east of the province of Deir ez-Zor.
Also in Syrian sources it is reported that in the city of Abu Kemal in eastern Syria tank unit, as well as "pro-Iranian forces." There is no official confirmation of this statement at the moment. Recall that Israel announced its readiness to continue striking at those facilities in the SAR, where the Iranian military presence or the presence of Tehran-supported groups, including Hezbollah, will be revealed.
