Exclusive: Idlib government chief urges defense against Assad attack

IDLIB CITY, Syria - Russian-backed Syrian government forces will be able to advance all the way to the Turkish border if they pierce rebel defenses in the northwest, a top opposition official said, urging Turkey to do more to shield the area from a major attack.

Fawaz Hilal, head of the “Salvation Government” that runs Idlib province, expressed confidence that opposition fighters gathered in the Idlib region from all over Syria would be able resist the onslaught. Hilal spoke at his office in Idlib city, the provincial capital where life has continued as normal as the offensive has mostly targeted front-line areas to the south.

Hilal noted Idlib’s defenses had been boosted by rebels forced from other parts of Syria such as Ghouta, Homs and Deraa when Assad took their towns and villages.Tahrir al-Sham is the most powerful insurgent group in the region. It was formerly known as the Nusra Front, al Qaeda’s Syrian wing, until it broke away and renamed itself in 2016. The United Nations designates it a terrorist group.

Much of the recent shelling has hit an area that was declared a demilitarized “buffer zone” last year by Russia and Turkey. Under the agreement, heavy weapons and jihadists were supposed to leave the zone.

They are AL-QAEDA , ya sick wicked mo-fos !!!

Idlib govt chief - what are you talking about Reuters? Instead of saying the main terrorist of Idlib you irresponsible journos found a nice term

REUTERS IDLIB ADLIB INVALID. Syria is a regime but Idlib has a government? Delete ur account!

Increasingly blatant as press liaison for alQaeda against Syria? HTS, Nusra still on terror list of US, EU & UN. Shameless.

Lol so Al Qaeda the government now.

An extraordinary piece. Apparently reuters believes, after Venezuela, that anyone now declaring themselves in charge should immediately be recognised as the official government. ( So long long as they're fighiting the official enemy, of course)

U mean resident terrorist. Idlib government chief my ass. Lol

Who is that.....Bilal, The Crowned King of Idlibistan? Damn! I must have missed The Coronation. I guess he'll be on the UN Security Council then! From Rotters so it must be right enough.

When the Reuters joins rank with local Idlib chiefs to spread their terrorist propaganda, it's time to star praying. I hope Syria would annihilate every last one of them.

You call Jihadists head-choppers terrorists a 'government'. Yeah well done Reuters. You never fail to deceive with your propaganda.

Great you are supporting terrorist now! Soon or letter they will turn against you.

Didn't you used to be a news site?.

Idlib isn't a country. It doesn't have its own government. It's a city which has been taken over by terrorists. These terrorists are not a government. They have not been voted to power. Please only report factual information and not terrorist propaganda.

Where are Thomson Reuters Trustees? The Trust Principles (preserving independence, integrity, and freedom from bias in the gathering and dissemination of information and news) are violated!

FakeNews headline from Tahrir al-Sham holds Idlib. So the ‘Idlib Government’ are a terrorist group and not the government of Idlid. 20 million people follow

Idlib government chief aka Al Jolani Alqaeda former leader . Western media are horrible

Surely that is a typo. You mean to say Chief terrorist in Idlib. Your lies and blantant attempts at deception and supporting g head chopping jihadist terrorists is morally reprehensible and repugnant. Making you complicit in war crimes. Enough is enough. 😡😡😡😡😡
