ALEPPO — Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has been digging a trench in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib to isolate the areas it holds from those held by the Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) factions in the northern and northeastern Aleppo countrysides.
The digging works, which started in early May in the vicinity of the displaced camps in Atmeh in northern Idlib, stretches all the way to the town of Jindires in Afrin countryside in northern Aleppo.
