IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, used live bullets to dispers protests in the camps near the town of Atma, north of Idlib. “Large protests took place between the residents and IDPs of the border town of Atma, after HTS members shot a woman called Fatima Abdulrahman al-Hamid, wounding her in the head while smuggling a container of diesel fuel through the bushes and farmland,” North Press reported eyewitnesses from Atma town. The protesters raised banners denouncing HTS practices and calling for the overthrow of HTS and its leader, Abu Muhammad al-Julani, according to eyewitnesses. HTS members arrived in the area and started shooting in order to disperse the protesters, which spread a state of fear and panic among the displaced people in the surrounding tents, they added.
