TEHRAN (Defapress)- According to the Arabic-language al-Watan newspaper, the US continues violation of Syria's sovereignty by sending several trucks of arms and cement blocks for the SDF.

It added that the US-led coalition has dispatched the trucks through Khabour passageway at the Iraqi-Syrian borders in the Northeastern countryside of Hasaka.

Al-Watan also reported that Ankara is following the US in supporting the coalition of terrorists groups named 'National Liberation Front' in Idlib to put a cap on its assistance to al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at or the Levant Liberation Board) and undermine its responsibility as one of the guarantors of peace in Syria.

Al-Quds al-Arabi daily had quoted militant-affiliated sources in Northern Syria as reporting last Sunday that Syria's Liberation Front, Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front), National Liberation Front, Jeish al-Islam and Idlib Free Army formed a new coalition known as Jeish al-Fatah in Idlib province.

The daily further said that the newly-formed Jeish al-Fatah has almost 75,000 gunmen, adding that the terrorist groups' move is aimed at confronting the Syrian Army's large-scale imminent operation in Southern and Western Aleppo, Western Idlib and Northern and Northeastern Lattakia.

The paper went on to say that the Syrian government forces that are on the verge of completing their operation in Dara'a and Quneitra will soon kick off Idlib operation to drive terrorists out of the Northwestern part of the war-hit country.
