The Al-Qaeda linked Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham rebel faction released an info-graph on Tuesday that showed everything their forces captured from the Islamic State (IS) in the eastern countryside of the Hama Governorate recently, Al-Masdar News reports.

Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham claimed their forces seized more than 30 towns from the Islamic State, while conducting a counter-offensive in eastern Hama.
