March 10, 2021 "Information
Clearing House" - - "South
Front" - Chaos is brewing in the Aleppo countryside,
as the Syrian Arab Army reportedly prepares for
a decisive push on the Turkish-occupied areas.
All eyes are set on the town of Al-Bab and the
surrounding area.
On March 7th, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) shelled
the outskirts of the Turkish-occupied town of al-Bab.
According to sources from the “moderate opposition”,
at least ten mortar rounds fired by the SAA landed
in the towns of Bratah and al-Dana near al-Bab.
There was one reported casualty, and one injury.
The previous day saw shelling from the SAA on the
same location, without any casualties and damage
being reported.
These developments followed the incident on March
5 when, the Syrian military used ballistic missiles
and rockets to pound Turkish-affiliated smugglers in
the areas of al-Himran and Tarhin. According to
reports, over 40 criminals were injured and more
than 200 oil trucks and storage facilities were
destroyed.
More than three years ago, the Turkish Armed
Forces wrestled the city of al-Bab away from ISIS.
Since then, the SAA has been waiting for an
opportunity to liberate it from the successive
occupations.
Nearby, in the northeastern part of Aleppo city
itself, there appears to be a Turkish-funded
insurgency rising.
On March 4th, saboteurs burned a minivan of the
al-Quds Brigade in the district of Hannano. The al-Quds
Brigade, made mostly of Palestinians, is one of the
largest pro-government factions in Aleppo. The group
Youth of Aleppo al-Shahba Regiment for Special
Missions claimed responsibility for the attack.
Their allegiance is formally unknown, but it is
obvious.
It comes down to speculation, but pro-Turkish
groups could have carried out the sabotage, in order
to spread chaos and impede the SAA’s attack on the
Turkish-occupied cities in the countryside.
Nearby, in Greater Idlib, the
soon-to-be-rebranded Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS)
terrorists are attempting to merge with the
Turkish-backed National Front for Liberation (NFL).
This proposed military council is clearly meant
to provide a legitimate cover for the rebranded
terrorist activities of HTS and other al-Qaeda
factions in Greater Idlib.

Sure enough, on March 6th, an infamous
propagandist of HTS, Tahir al-Omar, confirmed that
work was ongoing to establish a “Defense Ministry”
in Greater Idlib. HTS, in the past, has attacked the
NFL occasionally, despite the fact they’ve been
allied. For the purposes of the “moderate
opposition” and the rebranding of terrorists, those
issues have been left in the past.
Greater Idlib is still the greatest source of the
terrorist threat, and no amount of rebranding of
terrorists can change that.
A sense of urgency should be growing with in HTS
and the Turkish-proxies in Greater Idlib, as their
turn is likely coming shortly after any operation to
recapture the Turkish-occupied towns in the Aleppo
countryside.
