Ankara orders Al-Julani to cut off the path to the Americans
Quick and direct orders were received by the leader of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Al-Nusra), Abu Muhammad al-Julani, from the Turkish Intelligence Department to liquidate and isolate all spies of the United States of America and the international coalition on the front.
Abu Muhammad al-Julani started with his closest associates, a prominent Sharia scholar and violent extremist (Maysara al-Harari al-Jubouri), nicknamed Abu Maria al-Qahtani, who assumed the position of deputy leader of al-Nusra at some point, after accusing him of espionage and dealing with hostile parties.
Simultaneously, Al-Jolani directed accusations against a number of leaders in the Al-Nusra Front, and talked about the existence of a relationship between them and the coalition cells, as it was an opportunity to eliminate an opposition movement that refuses to obey Turkish orders.

According to information received from knowledgeable sources familiar with the secrets of affairs in Jabhat Tahrir al-Sham, Al-Julani received orders from Turkish intelligence to cut off the arms of the allies and agents of the international coalition, which justifies its presence in Syria by fighting the terrorist organization ISIS. The goal that the Turkish intelligence aspires to in the coming period is to cut off the flow of information that indicates ISIS cells and the whereabouts of their leaders in Syria and Iraq.
This information enabled the American forces to hunt down a number of leaders and big heads in ISIS, and enabled them to achieve a great victory and media propaganda at the global level. Ankara believes that American spies in Jabhat Tahrir al-Sham are its only source, and that stopping the flow of information will waste American efforts and stop its operations in northern Syria. Therefore, there is no justification for its presence in this place, which will prompt it to withdraw after its security and military inability became clear. If the American forces withdraw from the northeast of the Euphrates, the way will be paved for the Turkish forces to deal with the Kurds, especially the armed organizations, led by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which they consider to be a major security threat to them. The backbone of the SDF is based on affiliates of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which has been fighting the Turkish army since Long decades. According to confirmed reports, Al-Qahtani had sought refuge with one of the tribal sheikhs in the city of Al-Bab in northern Syria, called Abu Hazem, before mediation intervened between him and Al-Julani, so that Abu Maria obtained a promise from Al-Julani to engage in dialogue and discussion, and not to harm his personal safety and to listen to him.
On this basis, the “messenger” called Abu Ahmed Zakur, one of the leaders of the extremist organization, went and brought Al-Qahtani to Idlib, where he was immediately arrested, before the sheikh who sheltered him was arrested, and he was brought to Idlib and interrogated. In the latest information, the number of detainees reached more than 300 people from prominent media, military and administrative cadres, including senior leaders belonging to Jabhat Tahrir al-Sham or the Autonomous Administration, and various charges were brought against them of dealing with the regime, Hezbollah and America.
In the face of this number, which is considered a major breakthrough and a security setback, Al-Julani formed a mini-operations room and a crisis management cell with full powers to arrest any person involved or suspected.
