Several Turkistan Islamic Party terrorists were killed and wounded Tuesday in drone strikes carried out by the Syrian Arab Army in Idlib.

The Syrian armed forces conducted several kamikaze drone strikes on the TIP's assembly points and military sites in the northwestern city, inflicting numerous casualties on the terrorist group.

Four soldiers were killed in February in an attack by the group's militants on a military checkpoint in the village of Umm al-Miyazen, in the eastern countryside of the Daraa governorate.

Syria's Defense Ministry confirmed that the armed forces operating in Idlib and al-Quneitra countryside had managed to shoot down three drones that attempted to attack military positions and civilian populations in proximate villages and towns.

The Syrian army continues to strike terrorist organizations in various locations as part of a wider operation to liberate lands occupied by foreign-backed militants.

On February 25, the ministry published scenes of operations carried out by the army against terrorist sites and fortifications in Idlib and northern Latakia countryside.

Terrorist attacks on Syrian Arab Army positions by extremist groups such as Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and the Turkistan Islamic Party in Syria continue to occur in the de-escalation zone in Idlib.

Meanwhile, the airstrikes come at a time when residents of Idlib and parts of Aleppo are demonstrating against the leader of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham HTS, Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, demanding his overthrow along with his security apparatus.

Al-Jolani completed the largest arrest operation in early February, targeting security, military, and political leaders within the HTS, accusing them of "planning a military coup against him in collaboration with foreign intelligence."

The operation led to the imprisonment of over 400 military, security, financial, and political leaders affiliated with HTS, including al-Qahtani.

This has caused public outrage against the ruling of the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham leader.

Attempting to contain the inhouse rebellion, the judicial committee appointed by al-Jolani decided on Thursday to release the second man in the terrorist organization, Maysar al-Juburi, known as Abu Maria al-Qahtani, after 8 months of detention.

Figures opposed to al-Jolani said that this move was "an attempt by the HTS' leader to exploit al-Qahtani's position within the organization to re-establish control over the state of division and chaos within the military body," which is witnessing tensions between supporters of al-Jolani and his internal opponents.

But they pointed out that al-Qahtani's release might be "in favor of the popular movement against the leader of the organization," in case he refused to return to work within the ranks of the HTS as "revenge" for being detained.
