The Islamic State organization returned to Indlib, nearly four years after it was expelled, after it had prevailed in the fierce battles that fought with rival jihadists, the Syrian Human Rights Watch said today.
The Islamic State regained control of the Bascun village after fighting for several days against Tahrir al-Sham, a coalition of jihadist powers dominated by a former offshore al-Qaeda, according to the Observatory.
The occupation of this village allowed Islamic state jihadists to re-enter Indiebe, four years after they were expelled from this province in north-western Syria, according to the same source.
The Islamic State seized a few days ago, dominating the battles against Tahrir al-Sam, many villages in the neighboring province of Hama, the Syrian Human Rights Watch notes.
