Newly recruited fighters with Syria's "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham" (HTS) rebel-group, listen to a trainee as they take part in military training exercises, on the outskirts of the northwestern province of Idlib, on November 8, 2022. The last pocket of armed opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime includes large swathes of Idlib province and parts of the neighbouring Aleppo, Hama and Latakia provinces. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), headed by ex-members of Syria's former Al-Qaeda franchise, is the dominant group in the area but other rebel groups are also active.
