At least 32 members of ISIS were killed in a fight between one of its retreating groups from the besieged circle and the regime forces

Following the loss of more than 80 villages by the “Islamic State” organization in the besieged enclave in Idlib and Hama provinces, and its withdrawal of it to be controlled by the regime forces with their allies in exchange of granting ISIS a corridor to the southeastern section of Idlib province, and after series of clashes against Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham and the working factions of Idlib countryside, a group of “Islamic State” organization clashed with the regime forces during its arrival to the southeastern countryside of Idlib and after its withdrawal from the northeastern and southern countryside of Aleppo, to the clash with the regime forces and its allies in the southeastern sector adjacent to the areas in which ISIS has rearranged its ranks, where a group of ISIS attacked the regime forces in places between ISIS-controlled area and the strategic area of Abu Dali (for the regime).

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned from several reliable sources that the violent clashes, shelling and exchange of targeting in the clashes between the “Islamic State” group and members of the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them; have caused significant casualties in the ranks of the Organization, where 32 members of the organization at least were killed and others were injured, amid information about more human casualties in its ranks, in addition to information about human losses in the ranks of the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published during the past few hours that sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the withdrawal of the organization took place through undeclared deal, represented by the withdrawal of the organization completely from the villages of the southern countryside of Aleppo and the north-eastern countryside of Hama, in return for securing a withdrawal line that leads the organization to the south-eastern countryside of Idlib, specifically Umm Elkhalayel and Al-Lubaydah areas in the south-east of Idlib province, thus, the organization’s fight turned from being against the regime forces and their allies, to a direct fight against Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham and the rebel and Islamic factions operating in Idlib countryside, where the fighting which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored that it raged in early morning of Friday the 9th of February 2018, is accompanied by the flight of warplanes whose identity is not known whether they were Russian or related to the regime, which target the clash areas between the both parties in conjunction with bombing areas in the southern countryside of Idlib, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned that the organization managed to advance in the area in the south-eastern countryside of Idlib.
