The province of Idlib in Northwest Syria is the last remaining stronghold of terrorist groups operating in the country, including al-Nusra, which has joined forces with four other terrorist groups in Idlib to form a terrorist alliance called Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at, widely regarded as the dominant force on the ground in the province.
