Scores of Terrorists Killed in Infighting in Northern Syria Since Feb.





DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – At least 340 terrorists have been killed in fierce clashes between Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board or the al-Nusra Front) and the rival terrorist group of Syria's Tahrir Front in Hama, Idlib and Aleppo provinces since mid-February, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Sunday.
Tahrir al-Sham managed to capture the town of Ma'arat al-Nu'aman in southwestern Idlib after heavy fighting with Tahrir al-Sham after they imposed control over Khan Shaykhoun earlier Sunday.
Tahrir al-Sham is now advancing near the town of Morek in northern Hama, taking control over Morek passageway.
In the meantime, the SOHR announced that a sum of 344 terrorists of Tahrir al-Sham and Syria's Tahrir Front have been killed and many more have been wounded in Aleppo, Hama and Idlib since February 20.  
Earlier reports said that Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at stormed the positions of Syria's Tahrir Front and captured more regions in Southern Idlib after talks on ease of differences among militants failed in northern Syria.
Tahrir al-Sham and Syria's Tahrir Front started again exchanging fire in northern Hama, southern Idlib and Western Aleppo after a several-day pause in infighting among terrorists.
Tahrir al-Sham managed to capture the town of Khan Shaykhoun and the villages of Sheikh Mustafa, Mowaqa, Kafr Ein, Heish, Sahyan, Sheikh Dames, Kafr Masda, Madhaya, al-Ameriyeh, Tal Aas and the key of hill of Tal Aas.
Tahrir further deployed forces in the villages of Ma'ar Tamater, Jabala, Ma'ar Zita, Kafr Sajna and Rakaya Sajna in southern Idlib after rival terrorists’ withdrawal.
In the meantime, Syria's Tahrir Front sent more troops and military equipment to the town of Dar al-Izzah in western Aleppo to face any possible attack by Tahrir al-Sham.
