TEHRAN (Defapress)- Tahrir al-Sham gunmen struck Faylaq's base in the town of Jarbanoush in Northern Idlib and captured it.

Tahrir al-Sham's attack came after one of its members was assassinated by unknown raiders' gun fire in Jarbanoush.

Tahrir al-Sham drove Faylaq members from Jarbanoush and set up new checkpoints in the region.

In a similar development last month, Syria's Tahrir Front stormed the positions of Tahrir al-Sham in Western Aleppo and managed to capture five villages and towns, including the towns of Taqad and Ajel.

Also, the Front kept its gunmen on alert in the town of al-Abzamou in Western Aleppo and the town of Tal Adah in Northern Aleppo.

In the meantime, local sources reported that heavy infighting underway between the two rival groups near the town of Mar'iyan in Southern Idlib left a number of casualties on both sides.
