The pace of fighting has become relatively calm and sometimes intercepted by an exchange of shelling and skirmishes between Hayaat Tahrir Al-Sham on one hand and the rebel and Islamic faction on the other in the southern part of Idlib countryside and the northern countryside of Hama, Relative calms returns after the fall of causalities of civilians and in both ranks, as result of fighting between them, where the SOHR documented that the death toll has increased in the ranks of the factions fighting within the abolition war as well as the civilians, where the SOHR documented the death of 25 citizens including 8 children and 5 women, who have been killed since the start of the fighting on the 20th of February 2018, as a result of shelling and random shootings in the countryside of both Aleppo and Idlib, and the SOHR also documented that 207 members at least of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham were killed during the shelling and clashes against Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement in the western countryside of Aleppo, and against Ahrar Al-Sham and Soqur Al-Sham in Idlib countryside, and 154 fighters of Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement ,Ahrar Al-Sham and Soqur Al-Sham, who were killed during the shelling and clashes in the area, and the number of casualties may increase because of the presence of a large number of injuries, some of them have seriously wounded, in addition to information about other casualties the SOHR is not able to document so far.

The SOHR monitored that the factions of Ahrar Al-Sham Movement, Soqur Al-Sham and other factions in Marat Al-Noman area in the southern part of Idlib countryside managed to forces Hayaat Tahrir Al-Sham to withdraw from the area. Reliable sources sad that hundreds of fighters of Hayaat Tahrir Al-Sham, who were staying in their houses and stopped fighting contributed to the rapid advancement of Hayata Tahrir Al-Sham in the southern part of Idlib countryside till they reached Morek town and the crossing towards the regime-held area, where the Hayaat Tahrir Al-sham hold their control in areas they advanced to and included Khan Shaykhon and villages and towns of Sahyan, Heesh, Kafr Ain, Tel A’as, Moka, Al-Amiriya, Marat Matr, Sheik Dams, Kafrsajna, Rakaya Sajna, Jebala, Ma’arzita, and other points in the southern countryside of Idlib.

the SOHR obtained a copy of a video weeks ago showing a commander in Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham, called “Abu Al-Yaqazan Al-Masri”, a commander of the rebel attack of Tahrir Al-Sham, while he was delivering a speech to a group of fighters of the Hayyaat during the fighting  and saying that “O, People of Al-Sham, Allah has honored you to witness the fighting against the Americans, the Russians, the apostates of Bashar Army, those who spread corruption in the lands, the Khawarij, and the corrupts. The end is near and the ranks are becoming clear, and the fighting will continue until this area turns back to a battlefield against the infidels. Noor Al-Din Al-Zenki Movement didn’t open a new battlefront and it sent 40 fighters to a position in Skaik area, but they withdrew after 10 days. The weapons were obtained to be used in Jihad and kept stored for a year and will come out to be used in Jihad, tanks, tracked vehicles, warehouses of Ahrar Al-Sham became under our control and the Jihad in the Levant is a faith, don’t lose it”.
