After the arrest of regime-affiliated cell days ago | “General Security Forces” find and dismantle Russian-made IEDs in Idlib city
Reliable sources have informed the Syrian Observatory that the HTS’ General Security Forces found, this morning, several Russian-made improvised explosive devices set to be detonated in the city of Idlib in north-western Syria.
This comes days after the “General Security Forces” arrested a regime-affiliated cell in the city of Idlib, which is under the control of HTS.
Yesterday, SOHR activists said that residents near the city of Idlib have found the body of an unidentified man lying on the road between Idlib city and the town of Al-Mastuma.
This comes as part of the security chaos in the areas held by Tahrir al-Sham and factions in Idlib, and the surge in assassination cells’ activities targeting civilians and military personnel in those areas.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has documented the death of a civilian, after being shot by unidentified gunmen in Ariha area in southern Idlib countryside. It is worth nothing that the victim hails from the village of Arnaba in Jabal al-Zawiya.
The last 24 hours have seen an upsurge in security chaos in HTS-held areas. The Syrian Observatory had documented the death of a member of the 1st Coastal Division of his wounds sustained yesterday, after targeting a car near the village of Al-Za’iniya, bringing the death toll of this attack to two, a leader of the 1st Coastal Division, and a member who died of his wounds sustained yesterday.
Meanwhile, unknown assailants on a motorcycle assassinated a leader of the Turkish-backed “al-Sham Corps” in the village of Talada, while the gunmen fled to an unknown location.
SOHR activists said earlier that a member of the 1st Coastal Division was injured, after being targeted with a group of his companions by unknown assailants with machine guns, near the village of Al-Za’iniya on the “M4” road, west of Jisr al-Shughour city in Idlib countryside.
