Popular Uprising Reported in Idlib after Al-Nusra Beheads Pro-Gov’t Teacher

The Arabic-language al-Hadath news website reported that the al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at or the Levant Liberation Board) in Khan Sheikhoun beheaded a teacher and his brother who had hoisted the official flag of Syria in Lamis al-Nasr region.

It added that the residents of the region are very angry at the crime and fierce tensions have been reported in the region, noting that the social media pages belonging to the dissidents have also called for holding massive rallies in front of al-Nusra base in the city’s technical services building.

Earlier in the same province, sources affiliated to the terrorists disclosed on Tuesday that the terrorist groups have carried out a joint coup against Al-Nusra Front and Abu Mohammad al-Joulani in Idlib to prevent possible war in the region.

Al-Hadath news quoted the sources as saying that all the terrorist groups in Idlib in Northwestern Syria have stormed the positions of Al-Nusar Front and al-Joulani in a military coup.

Al-Hadath further added that talks between the Syrian Army and representatives of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) are underway to get rid of Al-Nusra and al-Joulani in order to prevent eruption of clashes and pave the ground for restoring peace and tranquility in the region.

The Syrian government forces have made fresh gains in the war on terrorism in the provinces of Homs, Hama, Aleppo, Raqqa and Deir Ezzur, purging the entire country of ISIL terrorists as soon as possible.
