RNA - Al-Muhaysini confirmed in his twitter account that the Syrian Army has inflicted heavy defeats on Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at in Aleppo and Idlib provinces, admitting that the terrorist group is in very bad condition now.

Al-Muhaysini said that Tahrir al-Sham's failures are rooted in differences and tensions among terrorist groups, mainly between Tahrir al-Sham and Ahrar al-Sham and the terrorists' lack of intention in battle against the army.

He further pointed to the failure of a plan to form a Joint Operation Room against the army, saying lack of such Operation Room is behind the collapse of the militants' front.

Relevant reports said on Thursday that Al-Nusra Front terrorists were in fear and panic due to the Syrian army forces' rapid advances in Southeastern Idlib towards the strategic town of Saraqib.

The Syrian army units continued clashes with al-Nusra terrorists in Southeastern Idlib, regaining control of the villages of al-Husseiniyeh al-Moshirfeh, Tal Khartah and Jabal al-Tawil.

Meantime, the Syrian air force targeted the terrorists' positions and moves in Saraqib and the nearby areas, destroying them and killing a number of militants.

Local sources also reported that the al-Nusra commanders are in panic and fear while the Syrian army is rapidly opening its way towards Saraqib and launches heavy airstrikes in the region.
