Nusra reinforces Levant Front to counter Ankara in Aleppo: impact on Idlib

Syrian Conflict Update: Potential Dissolution of Militias in Northern Syria

Recent reports from Aleppo’s countryside suggest escalating tensions for the Levant Front in its deployment areas in the northern and northeastern parts of the region. This group is currently in conflict with militias aligned with the Turkish administration and the Interim Government supported by Ankara.

The Interim Government recently dissolved the Suqour al-Shamal militia, which had merged with the Shamiyah before facing military action from Turkish-backed forces. There are speculations that a similar fate may await the Levant Front, with its military assets possibly being redistributed to the National Army established by Turkey.

Leaders of the Levant Front have intensified training for their members in camps around Azaz, near the Turkish border, amidst rising concerns over potential dissolution and reorganization of their forces.

Meanwhile, the Shamiyah, aligned with the Jabhat al-Nusra organization, is preparing for potential conflict with Turkish-backed militias, seeking alliances with other groups loyal to Nusra. These developments could have far-reaching implications on the regional dynamics between Ankara and various opposition factions.

The situation in Aleppo’s countryside remains volatile, with the potential for further escalation and its ramifications on the broader Syrian conflict.
