...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...
, Harakat Nouriddeen al-Zinki, and several other factions have moved to the southern and eastern parts of Idlib to help defend the province, despite their tiffs with the al-Qaeda linked Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
terrorist group.The source added that foreign jihadists from Turkestan and Uzbekistan moved from Jisr al-Shughour, the al-Ghaab Plain, and northeast Latakia to aid in this battle against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).
In the coming weeks, the battle for Idlib will likely intensify as the Syrian Arab Army pushes further north from the Hama axis towards the Abu Dhuhour Military Airport.
