However, they then committed atrocities, killing people and leaving Sunni communities to suffer from starvation, destruction, and the exploitation of women and captives,\u201d Rasool said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spokesperson detailed Iraq&#8217;s fortified measures along its border with Syria, including trenches, barbed wire, berms, walls, equipped border forces, surveillance drones, and thermal cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rasool confirmed that Iraqi intelligence has infiltrated &#8220;terrorist&#8221; organizations operating in Syria and emphasized that Iraqi forces would strike decisively if any such group attempted to approach the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also suggested that Abu Muhammad al-Julani, leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly al-Nusra Front), may be of Saudi nationality. However, he clarified that the PMF has not entered Syrian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rasool added that while resistance factions may act independently based on their doctrine, their actions do not fall under direct government oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last Wednesday, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) gained control of Aleppo city and its countryside, advancing further into rural Hama, Aleppo, and Idlib. These developments occurred amidst a notable retreat of Syrian government forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Saad al-Yaziji<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editing by Kardo Roj&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The spokesperson for the Iraqi Armed Forces, Yahya Rasool, has compared the developments in Aleppo Governorate, northwestern Syria, to the events that unfolded in Iraq in 2014.
