The recruit will be subjected to two months course (one month religion course and one month military training) according to which he will gain financial grants in return for his affiliation,&#8221; the sources noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HTS is exploiting the economic conditions and the devaluation of the Turkish lira, which is imposed on dealings in Idlib, to recruit residents and children, according to military analysts\u2019 reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HTS periodically launches recruiting courses to recruit civilians and children in order to strengthen its power and influence throughout the region, according to the same sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Samir Awad&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#HTS exploits the deteriorating economic conditions and the devaluation of the Turkish lira to recruit civilians and children in #Syria\u2019s northwest. #Turkey <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":69672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-military-developments","category-syria"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
