TEHRAN (Defapress)- News websites affiliated to the terrorists reported on Wednesday that the five groups of Syria's Tahrir Front, al-Wieh Saqour al-Sham, Jeish al-Ahrar and Tajamo Damascus have joined the 'National Liberation Front' which had been formed nearly two months ago by 11 other militant groups.

A new coalition of 75,000 terrorists had been formed in Idlib province in Northern Syria to fight against the Syrian army.

A militant-affiliated website reported on Monday that the terrorist groups in Idlib and Hama provinces started a new coalition, called Jeish al-Fatah, to counter the Syrian Army's imminent operation after they came under increasing pressure by Ankara.

Anab al-Baladi website quoted a well-informed source as disclosing that the terrorist groups' decision to form a new coalition in Idlib was made under Ankara's pressure, adding that Turkey had forced the entire terrorist groups, including Syria's Liberation Front, the National Liberation Front, Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at and Jeish al-Izzah, in Northern Hama to stand united against the Damascus government before they are annihilated in the upcoming operation of the Syrian army.

In the meantime, Commander of Syria's Liberation Front Abdul Salam Abdul Razaq claimed that the coalition members have an endorsed an agreement to specify their battlefield responsibilities across the region which stretches from the coastal areas to Northern Aleppo.

Al-Baladi further said that representatives of Idlib's terrorist groups will gather in Ankara in coming days to confer on their duties with regard to Idlib province.
