IDLIB, Syria — Well-informed sources among jihadist groups in Syria told Al-Monitor that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has recently asked the Jund al-Sham (Soldiers of the Levant) group to leave its posts in the Latakia countryside and dissolve itself, or join the HTS ranks.
The sources stated that HTS asked the Chechen commander of Jund al-Sham, Muslim al-Shishani, to join its ranks and submit to its policies or to leave its areas of control and go to the areas held by the Free Syrian Army factions close to Ankara.
