Violent clashes erupted between the so-called 32nd Division affiliated with Ahrar al-Sham and the Third Legion, which is a merger of Turkish-backed factions, including the Levant Front and Jaish al-Islam, in the villages of Abla and Tal Battal on the outskirts of the city of al-Bab in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.

The two groups are affiliated with the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA).
