In a puzzling development, the terrorist organization “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham” has deployed more than 400 members from various units, including al-Zubair, al-Saad, and al-Othman, to the frontlines adjacent to the Manbij Military Council.
This convoy, under the direct orders of the leader of “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham,” Abu Mohammad al-Julani, displayed the organization’s flags during its journey from Idlib. Upon arriving in Afrin, the fighters replaced these flags with those of so-called Arab tribal forces to give the impression of tribal affiliation.
Our correspondent noted that this military convoy includes locally manufactured armored vehicles and troop carriers, equipped with medium machine guns. They reached the frontlines adjacent to the Manbij Military Council, where they began to spread out across multiple fronts, including Bughar, Arab Said, and al-Muhsinli in the northern and western rural areas of Manbij.
Simultaneously, the Syrian government’s army heavily shelled the village of Qabasin in the eastern Aleppo countryside. Violent clashes erupted between the Syrian government forces and the National Army militias on the Tadef front in the occupied Bab countryside
