TEHRAN (Defapress)- "Al-Julani has briefed the ISIL commanders on the region's geography in line with the imminent battle there," local sources in Jisr al-Shughour in Western Idlib said, pointing to the relocation of the ISIL terrorist commanders from Idlib to the borders with Turkey in Northern and Western Idlib.

The sources said that al-Julani's convoy accompanied by the ISIL terrorist commanders has moved towards terrorist-held areas between Jisr al-Shughour and Northern Lattakia.

They, meantime, said that al-Julani in his meeting with a number of Turkistani terrorist commanders in Jisr al-Shughour has stressed the need for merging with the ISIL.

Al-Julani has divided the terrorist-held areas in Idlib into three distinct regions administered by Turkistani, Tahrir al-Sham Hayat and the ISIL terrorist groups.

The Syrian army has also dispatched fresh troops and military hardware to Jisr al-Shughour region.

In a relevant development in mid-August, Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at transferred a large number of ISIL terrorists to a region near border with Turkey to take part in the battle against the Syrian Army in Idlib.

The Arabic-language website of Sputnik quoted local sources as saying that Tahrir al-Sham paved the ground for the dispatch of a large number of ISIL terrorists to the towns of Atmah, al-Dana, Harem, Salqin and Darkoush and other villages and farms in Jisr al-Shughour region in the last few days.

It further said that Tahrir a-sham plans to use ISIL terrorists, deployed in the towns and villages in Western Idlib, in the incoming battles with Syrian army in Jisr al-Shughour and Northern Lattakia.

The army has dispatched a large number of troops and hardware to Hama and Idlib provinces to launch a large-scale operation in several flanks in Northwestern Syria to capture Idlib and also restore more security to Northwestern Lattakia that is bordering Western Idlib.
