Syrian jihadi leader courts Druze community in Idlib
The leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, continues to market himself as a moderate leader.
The leader of Hayar Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, continues to promote his image as moderate and close to the public through a series of propaganda efforts. On June 9, he inaugurated a well project to supply water to several villages of the Druze-majority Jabal al-Summaq area of the northern Idlib countryside.
The HTS-affiliated Amjad Media Foundation published a video of Golani meeting with the notables in Jabal al-Summaq. He promised to improve conditions there while highlighting the services already provided by HTS and its affiliated Salvation Government.
