Members of Syria's top jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) alliance, al-Qaeda's former Syria affiliate, parade with the group's flag and the Taliban's through the rebel-held northwestern city of Idlib. The armed group that formally broke ties with al-Qaeda years ago is considered to be the most prominent jihadist group in Syria after a decade of war. HTS controls nearly half of the Idlib region -- the last remaining opposition bastion in Syria -- alongside other less influential groups. IMAGES
