Hay'yan, Anadan & Haritan under Jihadists of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham Led by Abu Mohammad al-Joulani, the ex #ISIS officer, the ex-al Qaeda in the Levant and the actual leader of a large number of foreign fighters.

Joulani is taking position opposite #SAA.

Rural and the city of #Idlib, the rural area of #idlib, #Aleppo & #Hama are under Jihadists control. Is it time for the Syrian army, supported by #Russia to stop the jihadists advance if #Turkey is incapable of doing the job it has promised at #Astana?

#Turkey is embarrassed by Jihadists overwhelming control of most of the #Astana area of control. Joulani is forcing his place on #Ankara unless the Turkish army moves in to defeat him, or to steps aside and allows the #Syrian army to do the job.
Joulani offers $5000 to "ex-Zinki" group (the ex is intentional to say there is no more a movement called as such) who held the demarcation line with the Syrian Army.

Jihadists are sending a clear message to #Turkey, challenging @RT_Erdogan by exterminating his closest group.
Al-Atarib under ex-Nusra (Joulani HTS) control: Thuw'war al-Sham and Bayarek al-Islam dissolved.

More territory under Jihadists control can only support the Syrian army attack and return of #Idlib and rural area to the government control.

Foreign fighters in #Syria:

Ahrar al-Sham arrest 5 Foreign Fighters from the #Maldives in Kafar'ruma, south of #Idlib.

Ex-Nusra (#AQ rebranded HTS) walked into its own death by taking a large territory in #Idlib and its surrounding. The defeat of large groups like Ahrar and Souqourv al-Sham (who showed little resistance) and the elimination of Zinki group will have deadly consequences on AQ.+
No doubt #Turkey asked Ahrar et al to stand down & avoid fighting (for now). It means #Ankara would be happy to see the end of its presence in #Idlib on the long term. For this, Erdogan needs to see a very large battle taking place first in the north between these groups and #AQ
Erdogan & Putin will have a meeting soon to discuss the #Kurds and #AQ in #Idlib. I expect hot spring in Idlib and a large offensive against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Abu Mohammad al Joulani's ambition (from ex-ISIS emir to AQ Emir to ruler of Idlib) is helping to end this phenomena.

I can only see positiveness in the expansion of al-Qaeda in #Syria. The more cities and villages it controls, the faster it will lose.

#AQ in Syria is trying to earn the heart and minds of the locals but it is trying to full up their pockets. This group has learned nothing.
Today I am very confident & much more positive that #Turkey will not occupy north of #Syria and will not stay in the territory it occupies today for ever.

@RT_Erdogan is confirming his strategic relationship with #Russia & #Iran is more precious than #USA
#AQ was planning long ago to expand its control. #Turkey rejected Joulani's wishes for very long. By accepting or closing an eye on the ex-#ISIS Emir, i.e. Abu Mohammad al-Joulani, #Turkey has found the best way to liberate itself from al-Qaeda's burden.

1, At this very moment perhaps several thousand Al-#Qaeda & #ISIS fighters are in the open near #Manbij threatening 🇺🇸 @USSOCOM. If @realDonaldTrump does not give orders to eliminate the people who attacked NYC @NancyPelosi should force an impeachment vote this week. #ORANGEISIS New York on 911
2. Make the @GOP admit they are really traitors or, if not, willing to remove their own party's President. Whether motion passes or fails, the 116th @HouseJudiciary can bring impeachment articles. Make the 115th @GOP go on record as #AQ supporters. Then make them own it in 2020.
3. Trump and his pal @RT_Erdogan are supporting the ISIS AQ Jihadists. Teach the Manbij Jihadist force what being a US enemy means. @CENTCOM must unleash B-1 racks of SDBs for 12 hours of hell. Put Al-Qaeda and ISIS on the run.

Do it for New York. @NYPDCT @ChiefPentSpox

1. Best I can tell, @coalition operations in ERV closing in on the final ISIS holdouts and possibly the leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi have been for the most part halted. So the @realDonaldTrump betrayal has been a strategic victory for ISIS.
2. Don't let anyone tell you @realDonaldTrump is not effective. He and @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell are saving #ISIS. That is the single largest success for the 115th Congress after the deficient destroying billionaire tax cut. All @GOP @SenateGOP @HouseGOP should be proud.
3. #MAGA hats will be known for treason and as people who support murder of Christians. Wear it with pride you helped ISIS win. And or @SenMikeLee and @RandPaul I'm betting they are somewhere quiet sharing a little toast to more dead Christians in Syria @LDSchurch @hogangidley45

1. Want to know who's @realDonaldTrump & @WHNSC BFF. Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi that's who. @Trump surrenders to #ISIS. Every member of @GOP is now an #ISIS affiliate. Every judge, member of congress, police officer, school teacher in the @GOP is an ISIS affiliate. Shun them like ISIS. Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi
2. @NancyPelosi & @SenSchumer can not longer take their sweet time on impeachment. They need to subpoena all @Trump family finances from Turkey and show the GOP that Trump gets money from Al-Qaeda affiliates. Then paint the entire GOP as enemy sympathizers. Make them own it.
3. @IvankaTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @EricTrump are all getting money from Al-Qaeda affiliates via Trump Istanbul. When @NancyPelosi gets the proof they can be charged with all the 9/11 liability under 18 USC 2333. Make them pay for the Twin Towers. @WhiteHouse @WHNSC @POTUS @FBIWFO

1. Unless the US immediately imposes a no-fly zone over Northern Syria @USSOCOM and other US forces will be at risk of attack. @POTUS @WHNSC @StateDept @DefenseIntel @hogangidley45 @PressSec @foxandfriends @robertburnsAP @barbarastarrcnn
2. Congress has a duty to expose Erdogan and his family IMO connected to #ISIS & Al-Qaeda. IMO US govt has the evidence. Congress must release it to protect our troops.. Erdogan seeks to save Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who can out him. He's likely in ERV #SDF clearing. @SenJackReed
3. US must install radars in Northern Syria to alert @USSOCOM forces to a Turkish air assault. Until then AWACS. Attack in Northern Syria @POTUS @USTreasury must prohibit spare parts & service to Turkey's F-16 force. @generaldynamics @LockheedMartin @Raytheon @maziehirono

Amid #Assad regime offensive in south #Syria, worth bearing in mind its continued bombing of areas in #Idlib - also under a so-called “de-escalation zone.”

Having watched the southern zone dissolved w/o response from #Jordan or #Israel, #Turkey’s now warning #Idlib = “red line."
#Turkey has deployed its own armed forces to x12 “observation posts” fencing in opposition areas & enforcing de-escalation.

#Russia seems invested in stability in #Idlib - but for how long?

After #Deraa, will #Assad & #Iran destroy the last remaining “de-escalation zone”?
For now, expect periodic regime bombing raids & notably, also ‘spoiling’ attacks by fighters unrestrained by #Turkey’s iron grip.

#HTS will remain internally divided on de-escalation -- the more regime bombings, the heavier the pressure for #HTS to respond = #Assad opportunity.
