These “cleaning” operations take place in two ways: direct and indirect; Non-Syrians are gradually isolated directly, before being pressured indirectly by demanding high rents for the homes in which they live, in addition to restricting their means of life, and carrying out arrest campaigns from time to time to investigate their links with other groups.
During the past month, "jihadist" sources reported, whose authenticity was not confirmed by independent sources, about the executions of about 70 people who were imprisoned in several prisons in Idlib, including non-Syrian fighters.
These conditions, in addition to the stagnation of the fighting fronts, according to the sources, prompted the non-Syrian fighters to increase the pace of their exit from Idlib to Turkey, which is deporting them to several destinations in an untraceable manner. He transferred them to Afghanistan, after the faction split up and led to a change in its composition, as the number of Syrians inside it (Ansar) became greater than that of Turkestan, which contributed to the emergence of the term “Suranah of Turkestan” among “jihadist” circles in Idlib.
Among the non-Syrian fighters who left Idlib, are fighters of Egyptian nationality, and others of Lebanese nationality, and these were active in the ranks of "Jabhat al-Nusra" in central Syria and in the vicinity of Damascus, and moved to Idlib at a later time (some sources estimate their number in the dozens). The same sources that spoke to Al-Akhbar confirmed the Arab fighters' desire to return to their countries, which opens the door to risks that these fighters will carry with them, in the event that their movements are not alerted, especially with the presence of several smuggling routes.
