And the south-eastern countryside of Idlib witnessed violent clashes between the both parties on Saturday the 10 of February 2018, and the violent clashes caused significant casualties in the ranks of both parties, where 6 fighters at least of the factions and Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham were killed, and 15 members at least of the Organization were killed in the clashes which were concentrated in the vicinity of Umm al-Khalakhil area in the southeastern countryside of Idlib, and with more casualties, it rose to 47 at least, the number of members of the “Islamic State” Organization who have been killed since the 10th of February 2018, in the southeastern countryside of Idlib, they are 15 members were killed in clashes against Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham and the factions, and 32 were killed in clashes against the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them, where the Syrian observatory published hours ago that after 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).
