Last week, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s jihaz al-amn al-‘am (The General Security Service) announced another arrest of an IS cell, including an alleged wali of its Wilayat al-Sham. These types of arrests have been going on for years. I thought it would useful for researchers to have an archive of publicly announced cases of HTS arresting IS elements in the territories it controls. There have likely been other cases that were not announced publicly, so don’t take this as a fully exhaustive list of everything. The most recent cases are at the top, descending to the oldest announcements. This page will be updated going forward as new information comes out from HTS.
