[RIA Novosti] Jabhat al-Nusra militants are planning to attack areas in Idlib where refugee camps are located in order to blame Russia for this, Major General Oleg Yegorov, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic, said.

"According to information received by the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties, militants of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group * ("Hayat Tahrir ash-sham" *), together with the White Helmets pseudo-humanitarian organization , are planning to carry out provocations in the province of Idlib. The militants intend to conduct staged filming of the consequences of staged strikes in the areas of refugee camps in the settlements of Kafer Dian and Kafer Jales in the province of Idlib," Yegorov said at a briefing.

He specified that the militants also intend to accuse the Syrian government forces of attacking civilians and humanitarian facilities.
In addition, over the past day in the Idlib de-escalation zone, eight attacks were recorded from the positions of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group.

They also opened fire three times in the province of Idlib, once in Aleppo , and five times in the province of Latakia.

Yegorov added that in the province of Idlib, terrorists, using an UAV launched from the Ruaikh region, dropped two improvised explosive devices on positions of government forces located in the same area. Seven Syrian soldiers were wounded.

The White Helmets organization, which gained wide popularity and support in the West, declared its goal to save the civilian population in the combat zones. Damascus , in turn, accuses her of links with extremists and conducting hostile propaganda activities.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called the activities of the White Helmets an element of an information campaign to slander the Syrian authorities and, in particular, blamed them for the provocation, which gave the West reason to accuse Damascus of using chemical weapons and strike at government troops.
