Abu Mohammed al-Golani, leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which is designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States, the United Nations and others, has recently made several media appearances in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib.
Since May, Golani has been seen in public places. He has been photographed alongside civilians, patients and tribal leaders, and has visited some residents of displaced camps in Sarmada and Harem.
