BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:40 A.M.) – A large number of rebel factions in northern Syria announced on Sunday that they will be merging together to form one big group.

According to a statement released by the rebel factions, the following groups will be merging together to form one large force under the Turkish Army’s command:

• Faylaq Al-Sham
• Free Idlib Army
• 2nd Coastal Division
• 1st Division
• Freedom Brigade
• Darayya Islam Brigade

This large merger includes factions from northern Latakia, which may explain why the Turkish military recently entered the province.
