In preparation for handing it over to the Syrian army and Russia, Turkey orders extremist jihadist groups to withdraw from the Latakia Mountains (al-Kabena and Bayer Boujak) and the region of Jisr al-Shughur.
According to the information, these extremists from the terrorist "Jund Allah" and "Jund al-Sham" affiliated with Al-Qaeda, and most of them are of Turkish, Caucasian and Russian origin, are being withdrawn to #Afrin occupied by Turkey.
The Turkish purpose of this step is to implement the Russian conditions to hand over some areas of Idlib, whitewash HTS in that it is separate from foreign jihadists and al-Qaeda, and to re-use these extremists to fight the SDF after they were integrated into the so-called SNA.
Turkey had followed this same policy with ISIS members, as many ISIS militants fled to the areas occupied by Turkey so that Turkey would integrate them into the SNA factions.
Will Turkish deception succeed this time as well in saving al-Qaeda members like ISIS?
