SYRIAN WAR REPORT JAN. 4, 2019: INTRAMILITANT STRUGGLE FOR IDLIB ENTERS NEW STAGE In early January 2019, the military situation in Syria continued to develop in the framework of the existing trend with the terrorist threat in the Idlib deescalation zone and the TurkishKurdish conflict as two main sources of tensions. Over the past week, Hayat Tahrir alSham has made a fresh push to expand its influence over Turkishbacked groups in western Aleppo, southern Idlib and northwestern Hama. After accusing the Nour alDin alZenki Movement of assassinating 4 HTS members, HTS launched an attack on Darat Izza along with several nearby settlements. Then, Hayat Tahir alSham expanded its activity into southern Idlib and northwestern Hama, where it captured the settlements of Faqie, Tramla, Arnaba, Shahranaz and Shir Mughar from Turkishbacked militant groups.
