| 2017-07-15 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] A fierce battle broke-out between the two largest jihadist forces in Syria, Thursday, as two former allies clashed in the Idlib Governorate time of Killi. The heavy festivities began when a large Harakat Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... convoy began moving towards a Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham base in Killi; this resulted in the latter opening fire on the former on Thursday. According to opposition activists, festivities have died down since Thursday evening; however, civilians were maimed during the jihadist infighting. Tensions have been high in the Idlib Governorate between these former allies, as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s aggression has forced Harakat Ahrar al-Sham to fortify many areas in anticipation of a large attack by the al-Qaeda affiliate. |
