n February 2, U.S. Special Forces conducted an operation targeting Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi in Atimah, an area of Idlib province near the border with Turkey. The organization’s previous leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed by a similar operation in the nearby town of Barisha in October 2019. Both of these areas are controlled by rival jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which split from IS in April 2013 and later broke ties with al-Qaeda in July 2016.
Over the past few years, HTS has been attempting to establish a polity in northwest Syria via its technocratic Syrian Salvation Government. Part of this governance project has involved building up the group’s General Security Service (GSS), which was formally announced in 2020 but had been operating in proto-form for years.
Many of the announcements issued by GSS have focused on arrests of IS, al-Qaeda, and Assad regime cells, though its operatives are also suspected of targeting activists who oppose their parent group’s authoritarian rule. Since HTS adopted its current name in 2017, GSS elements have publicly announced twenty-one raids against IS cells in Idlib city, Sarmin, eastern Hama province, Salqin, Harem, Jisr al-Shughour, Khan Sheikhoun, Tahtaya, Sarmada, Abu Dali, Mseibin, Zardana, Kafr Naseh, and Majdaliya. The most recent raid was announced on October 7, 2021, though other operations may have been conducted but not publicized. Apparently, however, these intensive security efforts were not enough to deter the past two leaders of IS from using HTS territory as a base, though IS has long refrained from publicizing any information about its activities in Idlib.

أوضحنا سابقا وفي أكثر من مناسبة، أن قضيتنا عادلة ضد نظام متوحش ارتكب مجازر فظيعة بالسلاح الكيماوي وغيره، قتل أكثر من مليون سوري وهجّر ثلاثة أرباع الشعب خارج سوريا، على مرأى ومسمع من كل دول العالم. تقف فصائل الثورة السورية اليوم على رأسها هيئة تحرير الشام على جبهات القتال لحماية أكثر من 4 مليون من المدنيين في منطقة شمال غرب سوريا، وهذا حق مكفول ومسؤولية كبيرة. نظام أسد وداعموه هم الأولى بالتصنيف والقائمة السوداء كونهم مصدر قلق كبير، لا يهدد سوريا فقط وإنما دول وشعوب الإقليم أيضا.

Today in Doha, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Honorable Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi and senior delegation held a joint meeting with ambassadors and representatives of US, EU and other western countries. H.E. Muttaqi talked in detail about the current Afghan situation, relations with other countries, prevailing economic difficulties, humanitarian assistance, resumption of incomplete development projects and existing sanctions, drawing the attention of all participants, adding that weakening the Afghan government is not in the interest of anyone because its negative effects will directly affect the world in security sector and economic migration from the country. Pressure tactics have not yielded results in Afghanistan, instead let us adopt constructive interaction and cooperation.
H.E. Muttaqi remarked our priority is paying salaries from previous months to half a million civil servants and resumption of new economic projects. In this regard we urge world countries to end existing sanctions and let banks operates normally so that charity groups, organizations and the government can pay salaries to their staff with their own reserves and international financial assistance.
Participants of the meeting agreed that an instable Afghanistan is not in the interest of anyone however they do have some concerns that must be addressed by you that will lead to positive effects on relations.

US representatives stated that they will give humanitarian assistance to Afghans and will provide facilities for other humanitarian organisations to deliver aid.
IEA welcomed this assistance and remarked that it will cooperate with charitable groups in delivering humanitarian assistance to those deserving transparently, and will facilitate principled movement of foreign nationals.
