Internal tensions within STG forces. On October 22, STG security forces launched an operation. Officially targeting ISIS cells. In the city of Renkos, located in the Kalmon region north of the capital Damascus. The operation resulted in the death of seven militants and the discovery of the true nature of the target of the operations: a former leader of Jabhat al-Nusra and members of Brigade 44, which was created in 2025 following the reorganization of armed rebel groups into military units. It is worth noting that Rankos was the site of battles between the SAA and the Syrian terrorists in 2014 until it was liberated by the Syrian army in April of that year. In response, a demonstration was held today in Rankos denouncing the deliberate actions of the STG security forces and defending the innocence of the detainees. The protesters clashed with law enforcement authorities, who struggled to contain the protesters. Under the guise of the "war on terror", the Syrian transitional government carries out arrests and executions of regime opponents within terrorist groups that do not align with the new state that Julani aspires to establish. Popular discontent is growing significantly in areas that have traditionally been rebel strongholds but remain outside HTS/Al Nusra control.
