The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Iranian-backed militias have regained the village of Qaytal from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) in the area southeast of Abu al-Duhur in eastern Idlib.
In this way, SAA units deployed close to besieging the remaining forces of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and ISIS in eastern Idlib and northeastern Hama.
