The US believes significant portions of Syria’s rebel coalition Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) maintain strong links to ISIS, according to a senior US official.
The HTS has been designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the US, Turkey, the United Nations and several other Western nations. In 2018, the United States placed a $10 million bounty on its military leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani.
