BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:45 A.M.) - Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham's large-scale offensive in northwestern Syria has now spread to the Idlib Governorate, where their troops are attacking a key city near the Aleppo provincial border.
The jihadist group reportedly began storming the strategic city of Saraqib on Wednesday after seizing a large swathe of territory from the Turkish-backed Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki rebel faction.
Local activists claim that Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham has entered Saraqib after they clashed with members of the Turkish-backed National Liberation Front at the eastern axis of the city.
Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham has been wrecking havoc inside the rebel-held areas of western Aleppo and northeastern Idlib since Tuesday.
The jihadist group has seized several areas from their former allies, including the strategic town of Dart Izza, which is located just west of Aleppo city.
While the National Liberation Front has sent reinforcements to these fronts, they have been unable to recover any lost territories.
