The Arabic-language al-Watan daily reported that terrorists of Sultan Morad Ferqa and al-Shamiyah Front affiliated to the Ankara-backed Free Syrian Army engaged in fierce clashes in a region near the village of al-Hamran in Northeastern Aleppo, putting their forces on alert in the region.

Al-Watan said that financial differences, including distribution of revenues of Bab al-Salamh passageway, were the main cause of clashes.

The paper said that Sultan Morad Ferqa cut off a road connecting Azaz and Jarabulus regions after differences with al-Shamiyeh Front appeared.

Reports said earlier today that a long convoy of the Turkish Army's vehicles along with Al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at or the Levant Liberation Board) arrived in the Western territories of Aleppo province.

The Arabic-language al-Ahd news website reported that the army convoy along with Al-Nusra terrorists entered Mount Sheikh Barakat overlooking the town of Afrin.

Al-Ahd further said that the newly-arrived forces are about to fortify new positions in the region.
