The official logo of HTS’ so-called “Military Collage”.
Al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the de-facto ruler of the northwestern Syrian region of Greater Idlib, has established a “Military Collage”.
The Military Collage was established upon a decree issued by the terrorist group’s so-called Salvation Government on March 17. However, the existence of the collage was revealed on December 10, when it was visited by the head of the Salvation Government Ali Kaddah.

On December 12, HTS shared photos from one of the first classes held at the collage. Many of the students were senior military commanders of the terrorist group.

HTS reportedly wants to use the Military Collage as a core for a future “Defense Ministry” in the Salvation Government. The terrorist group hopes that the collage will help to better educate its currently military commanders, train new young commanders and organize its ranks.
According to Syrian opposition sources, HTS recruited several defected Syrian Arab Army (SAA) officers to teach in the collage, promising them very high salaries.
It’s worth noting that in May HTS established a Military Recruitment Department with branches all over Greater Idlib. The terrorist group’s next step may be to forcible recruit youth in Greater Idlib.
Syria and Russia warned on several occasions in the last few years that HTS is trying to establish a breakaway state in Greater Idlib.
Turkey, whose military is supposedly present in Greater Idlib to enforce a ceasefire and combat terrorist groups, has been doing nothing whatsoever to stop HTS expansion. This may force the SAA and its allies to take military action against the terrorist group very soon.
I never thought IsIs would open a school, that’s hilarious
Its seemes to be for upgrading officers. HTS seemes to have lost many Leaders. By that improvements are needed.
The Kaida officers are – just as the ISIS ones – much more advanced then the Assads and their affiliates.
Advanced? They’ve been trained by cia, Mossad and other NATO countries and Bashar took most of what they took back. Bashar was supposed to fall a couple years into the war, but he turned it around.
And that’s why Russia is bombing that strip of land for 5 years already…
Its totally irrelavent who has trained them or not. Facts are they have milisia structure and fight as such. By that need many well eucated small leaders.
Thye have lost many, so the new ones has to be better. Some Academi like that is a good upgrader with good teachers.
My comment is about military matters only.
NATO is not even in Syrian matters. USA is with France and GB as a group. Turkey is there as themselves – the rest of us is not THANK YOU.
Only Denmark and Australia gave USA very temporary support for a short while by F16s and F18s. Thats what memebers can order each other for a very short while.
Danish airplaned killed 80 Assads at DEZ by accident. In a military jargon only it showed our jets are very good killing wrong ones too.
The second part is at best speculative, more likely wrong. The SAA will have Russian training by now. Affiliate would be Hezbollah, which has some of the best training in the region. Why, they beat everybody, including Israel all the time. Obviously, they must be extremely good.
Shitbot Jens and his iiii insight :) my meteostation can do better prognosis than you troll..
I have referred written facts not made by me. Our news in west are no trolling. We can find the mistakes adn make corrections, when it happens.
The only prognosis I have made here is, that those kind of Jihadists has lost many small leaders and by that school try to upgrade themself. It seemes needed.
I take my hand out of the window. When its comming in and its wet its raining or a cat is there.
1) It’s not IS, it’s HTS. 2) Why on earth not? They want trained personell
1) + 2) = correct.
you should just leave this ignorant place of southfront its not receiving any funding anyway anymore because who would fund retards like that so better follow sides like thecradle for example

They wear uniforms but they still look like Apes,i have said it many times only way to stop this nonsense is to launch an all out attack and liberate Idilib,screw the ceasefire,the turks and apes ignore it anyway.
Dont offend the apes.
Why nobody listens?
Pretty little racist you are, aren’t you?
are they going to learn to fight there or are they going to learn how to become a clown!
Thats not their choise at all.
Where You are, You probatly has restaurants for car repairs and hairdressing.
Is the Syrian military blind? Perfect opportunity to bomb the building… multiple terrorist target can be eliminated in Trinidad one big strike
You most likely not even know where Syria is.
They not blind, its already marked on their target map, but they just dont to provoke turks because russia already got many heat lately. They just dont want any more big problem
A college, lol, not a “collage”. At first, I thought: what is a military collage… Yes, naturally they will want to have training facilities, including a ‘college’.
1 ) HTS and IS respond to the very hideous ideology and enforce it in the very same unspeakable fashion to people under theur sway,by their own proud admission. They simply fight each other to rule over the same land as competing branches of the same horror.
2 ) Yeah lol, of course some ragtaf self-declared and foreign sponsored islamist paramilitary terrorists want to normalize training regimen and throw the foundations for further entrenchment and separation from the central Syrian state, it shoudl be written in the UN Charter as a Human Right 🤣🤣
After all, what is more legitimate for a fringe backwards extremist ideology to get help from a hostile neighbor hell-bent on annexing Syrian lands and call a state of their own with their own medieval laws, while making a mockery of the concept of state integrity while they roll back its integral and secular nature ? They already have replaced state institutions such as city hall ,posting service, schools where only Turkish is allowed and of course Turkish currency.
They want to prmanently turn that province into a Turkish salafist hellhole,and of course it’s completely normal and acceptable to the likes of you Syria haters loving to see it turned to pseudo-statelets killing its national fabric.
Agree with Cromwell… leaving the Turk-supported terrorists controlling this territory for so long has allowed saturation of filth to flourish … there are now so few honest Syrians left in greater Idlib that any elections held there will likely gift the territory to the Turks and their slime. Russia and Syria need to take it by force before it is lost forever.
No mater what they call it, it’s just a fancy terrorist training camp and as such it should be flattened by bombs.
Ohhh, look at the nice Turkey-supplied uniforms!! A Wahabbi turd is still a Wahabbi turd though! Can’t put lipstick on a pig.
