An internal crisis is developing within Hayat Tadeh Asham, the most powerful armed group in Greater Idlib. On April 7th, Abel Malik Al-Tali, one of the group's most prominent field commanders, announced his resignation, claiming that he is being kept away from the decision-making on the supposed shift of Hayat Tadeh Asham's policies. According to pro-military sources, Al-Tali resigned as a result of disagreements with top members close to the group's general commander, Abel Mohammed Al-Julani. Earlier, Basam Selhuni, head of the General Shura Council, affiliated with the terrorist group, also announced his resignation, saying that he will clarify the reasons later. Sohuni was reportedly managing foreign relations for Al-Julani. The internal struggle for power within Hayat Tadeh Asham has intensified since the Turkish armed forces failure to defeat Syrian army and allow militants to regain control of wide areas that they lost in southern and eastern Idlib. Idlib militants that had become used to huge flows of money, weapons and ammunition seem unable to limit their appetites and demonstrate unity under the current conditions of limited resources. On April 8th, the Turkish army and the Russian military police conducted a third joint patrol along the M4 highway in southern Idlib. As in the previous two cases, the new patrol was a limited one and took place just west of the government control town of Saddukip. The movement at the patrol along the M4 highway towards the supposedly created safe zone in the area was once again blocked by supporters of Idlib radicals. The Russian military deployed additional troops and equipment to their base in the al-Khamishli airport area of Syrian-Al-Eastern region. The reinforcements reportedly included 50 tracks and armored vehicles. The reinforcements were sent from the town of Ahin Isan in northern Raka where the Russian military police maintains a coordination center with the Syrian Democratic forces SDF. The Russian reinforcements were escorted by two helicopters. Upon approaching the airport, the convoyed chase by a US patrol, the US military is apparently not happy with the growing military presence of the Russians in the area, which they believe is a part of their interests. The Russian base in the al-Khamishli airport was established last year following a breakthrough agreement between the Damascus government and the SDF. Initially, several opposition sources claimed that Russia will convert the airport to a force-gale military base to conduct operations in Northeastern Syria. However, these claims were false. The main goal of Russian forces deployed there is to oversee the implementation of the Damascus SDF agreement, as well as the implementation of the ceasefire regime near the area of Turkey's Operation Peace Spring. Uzbat al-Sahirin, a recently formed Iraqi armed group, released a new video threatening US forces in the country. The first part of the video includes aerial footage apparently shot by a small drone of the Aine Assad airbase near the capital Baghdad, where hundreds of US-led coalition troops had deployed. The footage shows US cargo planes and helicopters parked at the base. The second part of the video demonstrates a C-100-thirty cargo plane taking off from Aine Assad. The footage was apparently taken by an operative of the group driving near the base. Earlier in April, the group released a similar propaganda video featuring aerial footage of the US embassy in Baghdad's Green Zone. Uzbat al-Tairin came to responsibility for several rocket strikes and the US operated military base Camp Tachi and is apparently planning to conduct more attacks.
