BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:48 A.M.) – Heavy clashes have erupted in the western districts of Idlib city between various anti-government militias according to opposition activists. It is currently not possible to make clear sense of the situation, however it appears that the firefights which have broken out are of a three-way nature.
Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS: previously Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda) security forces in Idlib claim that they discovered an ISIS sleeper cell operating in the city, successfully raiding its headquarters, killing one ISIS loyalist and capturing another, whilst also seizing improvised explosive devices (IED) in the process.
