Syria’s Hayat Tahrir Al Sham plans to dissolve armed wing

A military commander of Syria’s victorious Islamist group Hayat Tahrir Al Sham said on Tuesday it would be “the first” to dissolve its armed wing and integrate into the armed forces. “In any state, all military units must be integrated into this institution,” Murhaf Abu Qasra, known by his nom de guerre Abu Hassan Al Hamawi, said in an interview with AFP, adding that “we will be, God willing, among the first to take the initiative (to dissolve our armed wing)”.
