Idlib's displaced traumatized by operation that killed IS leader
Residents of the displacement camps near the site of the recent US operation that killed IS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi are still terrified of not only a possible return by the Islamic State, but also by the US-led coalition.

Following the Feb. 3 US special forces operation that led to the death of Islamic State leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi in northwest Syria, civilians in Idlib have been growing more concerned about a possible return of IS, especially the residents of the displaced camps in the border town of Atmeh and the house where Qurayshi died during the raid.
Much seems to hinge on Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which controls Idlib province.
