An ambush by rival rebel fighters has killed operatives from forces loyal to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, near Manbij and Aleppo in northern Syria, according to unverified reports from the theater.
According to a single source in the Syrian conflict zone, forces loyal to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani were ambushed by rival rebel fighters in the area between Manbij and Aleppo in northern Syria. The report claims that the ambush killed multiple operatives from Jolani's armed gangs, but no casualty figures or further details have been confirmed. The same source used derogatory language toward Turkish regional ambitions, noting that Turkish plans for a 'railway' through Syrian territory are unrealistic given the presence of militia violence and crime in the area.
The Zioneer has no prior reporting on this specific thread. The account is unverified and comes from a single generally reputable security-focused outlet.
