According to pro-militant sources, the Syrian Air Force and the Russian Aerospace Forces have increased airstrikes on positions of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra) and its allies southeast of Saraqib in the province of Idlib. Pro-government sources speculate that this series of airstrikes may be a preparation move for the upcoming government advance in the area.
Earlier on January 29, the Syrian military fully secured the town of Abu al-Duhur after a series of clashes with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham militants there.
