Following the liberation of Sarja and Umm al-Halahel, government forces entered the key village of Sinjar in southern Idlib.
According to pro-government sources, units of the Tiger Forces and the National Defense Forces reached Sinjar’s vicinity amid an intense fighting with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) and then engaged militants inside the village.
Some sources even reported that the Tiger forces and their allies established a full control over Sinjar. However, this still has to be confirmed by photos or videos.
