Harassing Idlib residents | H-T-S prevents entry of domestic house gas and fuels from Afrin

SOHR activists monitored long queues of cars and trucks at Deir Ballot-Atma crossing that is supervised by HTS directly.

According to reliable SOHR sources, the reasons for the crowding was because HTS members searched and investigated vehicles coming from Afrin, and to confirm that they are free from gas and fuels.

HTS security services continue harassing civilians, especially those supervising the entry of fuels and gas to Idlib area after being absent from markets, and prevent entry of large amounts for commercial purposes and only allowing low amounts.

SOHR activists reported that HTS Security Forces prevented the entry of vehicles loaded with large amounts of gas cylinders and fuels through Al-Ghazawiyah crossing in Afrin, which is controlled by “Al-Sham Legion” and HTS, while the vehicles were heading towards Idlib from northern Aleppo countryside, and the vehicles were forced to return.

According to reliable SOHR sources, the allowance of entry of gas, benzene and diesel was limited to small amounts for usage of families, while merchants are prevented from importing large amounts and offering them in Idlib markets, which suffer complete absence of domestic gas and fuels.
