During the clashes, the jihadists captured several settlements, as well as one of the strategically important strongholds of the government army. In response to the attacks, the Syrian army together with the Russian military attacked the positions of the armed groups. According to the latest information, the armed forces are approaching Anadan. This city is considered an important junction of the defense line of Assad's forces. After capturing it, jihadists will be able to capture Hraytan and Kafr Hamakh settlements.
This will allow them to advance to the northwest of Aleppo. What is happening may become one of the most significant escalations of the civil war in Syria in recent years.
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham is a coalition of Sunni jihadist groups fighting the Assad regime. The coalition now denies any links to al-Qaeda.
