Russia claims jihadists preparing new provocation in Idlib
[ALMASDARNEWS] Russia is registering terrorists’ preparations in Syria for large-scale military provocations in the province of Idlib, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.

The diplomat pointed to the incessant raids by holy warriors of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham
group (one of the names of the Jabhat al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
terrorist grouping outlawed in Russia) against Syrian troops in the province of Idlib. Overnight to February 5, the bully boyz launched a series of offensives on the positions of the government forces in the area of Aleppo, she said.

"Over the past week alone, the Russian side has registered 35 such cases while the forces of Evil are not only shelling neighboring districts but are also preparing full-fledged offensive operations," the spokeswoman said.

"According to incoming information, late in January, al-Nusra bully boyz turned to their so-called allies from the Hora al-Din grouping and the Turkistan Islamic Party [the murderous Moslem organization consisting of Uyghur mercenaries] operating in Idlib with a call to start joint preparations for the possible launch of a large-scale military operation," the diplomat said.

As the spokeswoman stressed, the bully boyz aim to establish control of the entire de-escalation zone in Idlib.

"It is obvious that the terrorists’ intended goal is to gain control of the entire Idlib de-escalation zone," she noted.

"According to incoming information, they are planning to set up a single operational headquarters with the centralized command to comprise field commanders of all the illegal armed formations active in the zone," the spokeswoman said.

Moscow notes with alarm that the bully boyz are storing up chemical warfare agents along the entire line of engagement with the Syrian troops while the White Helmets are rendering active support to the bully boyz in that, the diplomat noted.
