HTS commander rejoins Syrian Army after completing spy mission
[ALMASDARNEWS] A security commander from Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham recently defected from the jihadist group to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) after years of working behind enemy lines in Idlib.According to a local report, the HTS commander that was known as Abu Khadijah al-Furtai left the jihadist group for the Syrian Army in rural Idlib this past week. The former HTS commander had reportedly spied on behalf of the Syrian Army and provided them information about the group’s movements in the Idlib Governorate. Some reports previously indicated that the former HTS commander had actually settled his case with the Syrian Army and was later granted amnesty, but pro-opposition accounts later corroborated reports about his work for the government.
